Episode Details

Colonial Promenade in Orlando is on the verge of a major transformation after the GOAA terminated Emporium 7’s lease, clearing the way for a full redevelopment. Though no developer is yet confirmed, plans envision a vibrant hub with retail, dining, offices, and aviation services — a stark contrast to its current ghost-town state. Once home to Sam Ash and a theater, this prime airport-adjacent property now hosts only one remaining tenant, set to be evicted too. Meanwhile, nearby Orlando Fashion Square grapples with its own stalled redevelopment, highlighting a broader trend of change across East Colonial Drive.
