There's a New Highway in Orlando That Will Change Everything

Have you ever considered investing where growth will happen before everyone else finds out? SR 516 could be just that chance! I'm Jen Dantas, and today I want to tell you why this new highway could be a game-changer—and how you can get ahead.

🌎 What is SR 516?

SR 516 is a new highway being built between the counties of Lake and Orange, connecting the US 27 the SR 429 (Western Beltway) – the famous ring road that provides access to all strategic areas of Orlando.

• 7 km long

   

• Investment of $546 million

   

• Estimated delivery: end of 2027

   

• Sustainable project with charging electric cars on the go! 😱

   

🏘️ Real Estate Opportunities That Are Already Moving

Just as we saw with the Horizon West boom, infrastructure attracts appreciation. SR 516 is directly linked to areas such as:

• Horizon West and Clermont: two of the most promising regions in Central Florida.

   

• Wellness Way Corridor: a master plan focused on well-being, schools and quality housing.

   

• Avalon Road and Schofield Road: with incredible potential for new subdivisions and vertical developments.

   

🔍 Want some data that reinforces this? According to the Stellar MLS 2024, average property prices in the region rose more than 50% since 2020. And with new highways like SR 516, this trend is likely to continue.

🌿 A Highway that Connects People, Nature and Innovation

The most incredible thing about SR 516 is that it's not just a road. It's coming with a concept of green infrastructure:

• Inductive charging for electric cars

   

• Trails for pedestrians and cyclists

   

• Wildlife Tunnel at Lake Louisa State Park

   

• Use of solar panels to power lighting and tolls

   

💡 This means that the region will attract high-end public, which seeks quality of life and sustainability – an audience that pay more and value more.

📈 What Does This Mean for Investors?

If you are considering buying now, the time to act is before the work is delivered. Why?

✅ Land is still more affordable
✅ Real estate inventory is on the rise (up to 8.2 months in the condos)
✅ But the trend is for stabilization and a resumption of appreciation in 2025

🧠 Translating: whoever buys now, pays less and profits more later.

💬 My Final Tip

I closely follow everything that impacts the Orlando real estate market, and I can tell you with confidence: SR 516 is one of those projects that creates a new wave of appreciationI've seen this happen with the 429, Horizon West, and even minor road improvements in Kissimmee.
