Osceola County Partners Break Ground on UCF Incubator in Kissimmee at City Centre
KISSIMMEE – Osceola County, City of Kissimmee and University of Central Florida Business Incubation Program officials participated in the ground breaking of the UCF Business Incubator–Kissimmee recently at the City Centre, 111 E. Monument Avenue.
The University of Central Florida partnered with Osceola County, the City of Kissimmee and Kissimmee’s Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) on the facility that will offer support services to help start-up companies accelerate their growth and generate jobs in downtown Kissimmee.
“This incubator highlights everything that is making downtown Kissimmee a must-visit destination,” said County Commission Vice Chairman Brandon Arrington, whose district includes the incubator. “Just around the corner there will be a SunRail stop to help connect us with the rest of the region. Simply put, this incubator delivers on all the planning that has been going on locally and regionally for a number of years to link jobs and transportation in our urban core,” added Arrington.
“This is a win-win situation for the City as we partner with UCF and Osceola County. The City is committed to reviving the downtown and attracting more enterprises, such as the UCF Incubator,” said Kissimmee Mayor Jim Swan.
The City and County are making matching contributions totaling $405,000 each for three years. Additionally, onetime payments are being made by the City for $57,000 and $183,000 from the CRA for the facility’s build out. The incubator will be managed by the University of Central Florida.
Gordon Hogan, director of operations for the UCF Business Incubation Program, said the new 8,000 square foot facility to be built out on the fourth floor of the City Centre Kissimmee will open in September with office and administration space for promising enterprises selected to join the UCF Business Incubation Program.
Research has shown that 87 percent of incubator graduates are still in business five years after graduating from an incubation program, said UCF’s Business Incubation Program Founder/Executive Director Dr. Tom O’Neal.

Showcase Estate Home for sale in Harmony represents Extreme value for buyer
ORLANDO, Fla. - An exclusive 5,400 square foot luxury home for sale at Harmony near southeast Orlando’s new Medical City offers an unusual value for the next buyer.
Roger Soderstrom, founder and principal at Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty in Orlando---exclusive sales and marketing representatives for the $1.4 million luxury home---said the showcase builder estate was beautifully furnished as a model home.
“The design and construction details evident in this showcase luxury home are amazing,” Soderstrom said. “The furnishings, which will be sold with the house, are equally breathtaking, and the current sale price is a full $560,000 below the initial offering price,” Soderstrom said.
The seller is offering to finance the sale of the home with 20 percent down and will negotiate a lease-option with qualified buyers, Soderstrom said.
The USGBC LEED “Green” Certified luxury home offers four bedroom suites, five-and-a-half baths, five fireplaces, a private elevator, a courtyard swimming pool and cascading waterfall, billiard room, game room, and private breakfast lanai.
Jody Connor, an associate with Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty’s (www.stirlingsir.com) Downtown World Center, listed the estate home for sale with an asking price of $1,387,500. Harmony is a unique environment with a town square and art sculptures throughout.
The master-planned community features the only Johnny Miller signature designed golf course in Central Florida, with 70 percent of the land area set aside for conservation, more than 900 acres of private lakes and miles of natural and urban trails, a private lakefront camping area, its own aquatics center, and a Town Tavern that delivers to private homes.

UCF and City of Orlando Business Development Center on Colonial Drive to Expand
UCF and City of Orlando Business Development Center on Colonial Drive to Expand
ORLANDO, Fla. - The Orlando Business Development Center District 2, (OBDC) a partnership of the City of Orlando and the University of Central Florida Business Incubation Program, located at 3218 E. Colonial Drive, will expand over the next 90 days.
Dr. Tom O’Neal, associate vice president for the University’s Department of Research & Commercialization and executive director of the UCF Business Incubation Program, said the center will more than double the size of its facilities from 2,400 square feet of office space to 6,000 square feet.
O’Neal said UCF is currently interviewing applicants to choose a full-time site manager for OBDC, which opened last year directly across from Fashion Square mall.
“Even in this economic slump, we are seeing a steady interest in business incubation from new companies in the community and we are increasing our capacity to serve more entrepreneurial enterprises,” O’Neal explained.
O’Neal said the Orlando Business Development Center was empowered by a recent nationwide study that shows business incubators rank as the most cost effective stimulators of local economic development.
“Job growth and economic activity in the U.S. are largely dependent on the health of small business enterprises, and effective business incubator programs are one of the best ways to stimulate small business growth and development,” O’Neal said. O’Neal said UCF Business Incubation Program client companies are already positioning themselves to take advantage of new funding offered by the U.S. Economic Recovery Act and stimulus programs.
The UCF Business Incubation Program currently serves more than 70 full-time client companies in five locations, and provides a wide range of walk-in services.

About the UCF Incubation Program:

With five facilities across the metro Orlando community, the Incubation Program is a collaboration in economic development between UCF, Orange County, the City of Orlando, Seminole County, the City of Winter Springs, and the Florida High Tech Corridor Council.
