Disney World Files Construction Permit for Affordable Housing Project

Walt Disney World is taking another step forward on its long-awaited affordable housing initiative in Central Florida.

The permit, listed under application number 250908-56772, focuses on stormwater management and water basin requirements — key elements for ensuring the project’s environmental sustainability. The community will be located at 10901 Avalon Road in Winter Garden, just east of State Road 429 near Hartzog Road.

Plans call for a 1369-unit multifamily development spread across 103.38 acres, complete with the necessary supporting infrastructure. Disney is partnering with The Michaels Organization, a developer specializing in affordable housing communities. The Michaels Organization will own and operate the property once completed.

Disney first announced its intention to create affordable housing in April 2022, with final project approval secured in October 2024. The construction timeline targets completion by late 2027, adding another significant residential option to the rapidly growing area surrounding Walt Disney World.
