Construction on the two-story food hall is set to begin by the end of the year, with opening scheduled for late 2025, according to the release.

“By promoting local businesses and regional products, the project will foster inclusivity and enable consumers to celebrate the distinctive qualities of the Downtown Orlando neighborhood,” said developer James Ekbatani, who teamed up with Lincoln Property Company to handle leasing on the project.

Officials with the project said that the food hall will have panoramic views through floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Lake Eola and the city’s new Lake Eola Park extension underway on the opposite corner that will be enhanced with trees, paved areas, seating and works of art.
