Plans for the new Lake Nona Disney campus have been released.
Construction of the Disney’s Lake Nona campus will be phased. Upon completion, it will consist of six office buildings, two flex buildings, three parking garages, a central plant, and a surface parking lot for visitors. While the zoning allows for a maximum height of 10 stories, the initial plan calls for buildings to range in height from four to seven stories. Each of the parking garages will have six levels.
The bulk of the built environment, 1.46 million square feet, is defined as general offices, while the remaining 346,000 square feet will be flex office/industrial. The offices featured 60,000 square feet of solar panels plus 2 acres of green roofs to meet the commitment to be carbon net-zero.

Another potential resort in wales
Major plans for a "world-class leisure resort" in Merthyr Tydfil which would include a ski slope and tropical water park are set to be submitted at the end of January, developers have said. The circa £300million scheme called Rhydycar West also includes plans for three hotels and around 30 woodland lodges. The project is hoped to create around 1600 jobs in the construction phase, and around 500 employment opportunities once operational.
The 575-acre site, located just off the A470, is owned by Marvel Limited and the plan is to make it one of the premier tourist destinations in the UK. Project chief operating officer Richard Arnold said the team initially hoped to submit plans to Merthyr Tydfil council in June 2022. However, following some delays, he said he was confident the plans would now be ready for submission in January 2023.The tropical waterpark at Rhydycar West aims to "elevate the UK waterpark experience to match leading indoor waterparks in Europe and North America," according to the plans. It's intended to offer a host of attractions, including slides, tubes, a lazy river, canyon explorations, a standing wave and surf simulators.
Indoor and outdoor adventure centres will also be built if plans go ahead. Possible activities include zip wires, climbing walls, extreme slides, high ropes and more. Three hotels are proposed: a family resort wing containing 198 bedrooms, a luxury spa and fitness hotel containing 100 bedrooms, and a sport hotel with 120 bedrooms, which is the value option.
