City of Orlando, Naval Training Center Redevelopment

Redevelopment

With the beginning of the new Century, military facilities throughout Orlando are being transformed into new uses that will benefit the entire community. Faced with the Federal government's decision to close the Orlando Naval Training Center (NTC), once home to 650,000 Navy recruits, the City of Orlando elected to pursue a redevelopment initiative that would support local goals for economic and community development.

Baldwin Park (NTC Main Base) - Envisioning a village that mixes homes with places of work and entertainment, the City of Orlando set out with an ambitions plan to turn the former Navy base into a viable mixed-use community that complements the surrounding area. In October 1999, the City of Orlando turned over ownership of the 1,100 acres located three miles east of Downtown Orlando, between the City of Winter Park and one of the areas largest shopping districts to a developer team chosen through an extensive public selection process. Only seven years later, the site has been transformed into Baldwin Park, one of Orlando's finest neighborhoods.

Southport (NTC McCoy Annex) – In 1998, two hundred acres of former Navy family housing became the Villages of Southport, the first great success story at the NTC Orlando. Sales were so strong that all of the 660 homes were sold in just 18 months. By 2001, former Navy recreation areas were redeveloped to become Southport Community Park, a showcase recreation center for southeast Orlando. The following year the City completed its vision plan for the remainder of the 840 acre McCoy property. The Southport Vision Plan has recently been updated, and the City now stands ready to solicit a developer team to bring the Southport town center, business park and new neighborhoods to life. With solid construction, modern amenities and fine neighborhood character, Southport is destined to become one of Orlando’s great neighborhoods.
