The Lake Buena Vista Resort Village & Spa was conceived as an integrated vacation destination resort superbly located just 1.5 miles (2 km) from the renowned Walt Disney World. The "Village" concept provides visitors with access to everything they could desire in one location. The shopping component of the Resort Village, Lake Buena Vista Factory Stores is comprised of 238,000 square feet (22,111 square meters) of retail outlet stores, which feature national designer and name brands at discounts up to 75%. The factory outlet mall was constructed in phases beginning in 1996 through 2002. Major tenants including Nike, Gap, Tommy Hilfiger, Ann Taylor LOFT, Nine West, Reebok, Eddie Bauer, Izod, Old Navy, Fossil, Ecko Unlimited, and Aeropostale highlight the 51 outlet stores.
The zoning and entitlements for the resort hotel were obtained in 1999 through an Orange County Roadway Agreement. The agreement provides the Resort Village with an eventual connection to the famous International Drive, which leads to the two million square foot (185,806 square meters) Orange County Convention Center. The approved development plan provides for the construction of additional condo-hotel units bringing the total number of units to 1,875 in additional to retail, restaurants and entertainment establishments.
The first phase of the resort hotel, consisting of 174 condo-hotel units, was completed in December of 2005. The two 8-story buildings are made up of spacious 2, 3 and 4 bedroom, fully furnished condominiums and 17,000 square feet (1579 square meters) of retail space, which includes Frankie Farrell's Irish Pub and Grille, Pizza Hut Cafe Express, a state-of-the-art fitness center, game room and pool.
Phase two of construction added two 15-story, high-rise buildings completed in April and October of 2007. Each building contains 152 condos and covered parking garages. The nightly fireworks from Disney World, SeaWorld or Universal Studios can be seen from some of the condo balconies.
The jewel of the Lake Buena Vista Resort Village & Spa is the 6-story Reception building. Its magnificent lobby includes a lavish, comfortable living room setting.The top floor of this building houses the 9,000 square foot (836 square meter) Reflections Spa-Salon. Floors three through five offer unique, limited availability two bedroom, two bath condominiums with fully appointed upgrades throughout including stainless steel appliances in the full kitchen and outfitted for in-room spa services.
Reflections Spa-Salon has created a tropical-themed spa menu that speaks to the body's natural instinct to pursue relaxation and internal harmony. The professionally trained staff provides the highest level of service and offers an outstanding array of nail, skin and body treatments including hair extensions, eyelash extensions, and eyelash tint as well as the art of hair design and color. For unparalleled pampering, spa services can be provided in the fully appointed, upgraded 2-bedroom 2-bath condo-hotel units unique to this building.
Another highlight of the Resort Village and getting rave reviews is the 25,000 square foot (2,323 square meters), Pirate's Plunge Aquatic Center. Creatively designed in the shape of a seahorse, the interactive 7,500 square foot (397 square meters), zero-entry pool is complete with a derelict pirate ship, water slide, and shooting water cannons. Three large spas, Lani Luau poolside tiki bar, interactive water features, loungers, hammocks, and entertainment deck provide enjoyment for all ages.
The Village concept provides something for everyone in one location. That's why we say, "Unpack Once and See It All."
The developers of Lake Buena Vista Resort Village & Spa invite you to become lawful permanent residents of the United States!
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) approved and designated the Lake Buena Vista Resort as a Regional Center for the EB-5 immigrant investment program. This offers an exciting opportunity for foreign investment in the LBV EB-5 Vacation Club and allow investors to apply for conditional, lawful permanent resident status with subsequent full residency.
Here's how it works. The United States government has set aside 10,000 visas annually in an entrepreneur investor category known as EB-5. This investment program was created by Congress in 1990 to stimulate the U.S. economy through job creation and capital investment by foreign investors. The Regional Center must create 10 full-time jobs for U.S. workers within two years of the investor's admission to the United States as a Conditional Permanent Resident.
The Lake Buena Vista Regional Center is located in a Targeted Employment Area (TEA). So there is only a $500,000 USD investment required and investors can be very confident of their application approval.
Superbly located in Orlando, Florida, the award-winning, Lake Buena Vista Regional Center features an operating condominium hotel, shopping, restaurants, signature health spa, and aquatic center with a zero-entry pool. Since the Resort is already built and operating, the investor can expect immediate income generated from condo rentals placed in the established rental program. Occupancy at the Resort has continued to increase each year. To view our occupancy, click here.
