Our pro-business spirit unites with the power of collaboration to create a place that is the unrivaled center of our diverse and welcoming opportunity economy.

Parramore Housing

Under-i
The I-4 Ultimate construction, which is currently underway and scheduled to conclude in 2021, will provide a completely rebuilt overpass through the Downtown core. This space will provide new dimensions to the former “Bridge District” area, being both higher and wider than the previous I-4 bridges, and present a new opportunity to create a special place in Downtown. Orlando is known as a City for everyone and that includes being a place where individuals and families of all types can enjoy the unique experiences and quality of life found only in Orlando. The vision for Under-i is to be a best-in-the-nation urban park that revitalizes a former underutilized area beneath the I-4 bridge decks, and becomes a dynamic and inviting space that links the east and west sides of Downtown. The park is envisioned to feature active recreation opportunities, aesthetic lighting, performance spaces, artwork, and areas for vendors, creating a new Downtown amenity and gathering place for our community. Construction of the Under-i is expected to commence upon completion of the I-4 Ultimate project in 2021. Construction of Under-i is estimated to take 1 – 1.5 years to complete.
