Orlando Business Journal has reported that Orlando-based company Darton US Holdings Inc. has filed with the county to build a seven-story, 526-room luxury resort, as well as a conference center, parking garage, and 12 villas.

More details of this proposed project include approximately 12,000 square feet of office space, a nearly 2,800-square-foot retail space, and two restaurants. The hotel itself would include “a family pool and adult pool, a steakhouse restaurant, a spa, a fitness room, a children’s center, a greenhouse and more.”

While the resort’s cost was not included in this proposal, industry data estimates that the total project could cost approximately $1 billion, with around 40% of that amount dedicated to the hotel alone. The project’s timeline also was not given, but it was noted that this resort would be built in one phase.

For the most part, we have stayed on property. With all the loss of benefits, we are now considering staying off property. If we stay on property, it would be Shades of Green.
