Project Description

Mid-City Community CDE, LLC, an affiliate of Urban Atlantic, joins Central Florida-area leaders in celebrating the groundbreaking for a new $35 million-dollar, 95,000 sq. ft. data center facility and global headquarters in historic Eatonville, Florida—the first African-American incorporated municipality in U.S. history. The expansion by minority-owned HostDime on the former Hungerford Preparatory School site along the I-4 corridor just north of downtown Orlando is slated to be completed in 2022. The groundbreaking marks the first step in the redevelopment of nearly 100 vacant acres on a site (Wymore Road/Hungerford) that has not seen any new development in more than 50 years. The future interconnection hub fulfills a growing need for high speed 5G connectivity, fiber networks and public cloud storage throughout the Southeastern United States and South America. On completion, the five-acre complex will become the only enterprise Tier IV public data center in Central Florida and serve as a business continuity and disaster recovery opportunity for South Florida businesses.
