The immersive entertainment complex was announced in 2022 as a second location, following the successful launch of the concept in Las Vegas. A cross between an art museum, an amusement park and a mall, Area15 would have been more than 300,000 square feet in size and was expected to open in 2024.

Instead, the company has listed for sale the 16.5 vacant acres off Interstate 4, north of the Orlando Vineland Premium Outlet, that it bought two years ago.
