WORLDQUEST RESORT
Orlando Condo
Hotel in the International Drive Resort Area
Hello. My name is Joseph Sgarlata, and I represent
the Orlando area for Condo Hotel Center.
Today I'll be telling you about a
condo resort located in an area that already has an
international reputation as a vacation destination
but is suddenly being reborn as its boundaries are
being extended and new, upscale developments are suddenly
appearing.
I'm talking about the world-famous
International Drive Resort Area in Orlando, located
just minutes from the city's theme parks. And the
property I have for you today is WorldQuest Resort,
a three diamond condo hotel.
WorldQuest Resort will consist of 18
buildings spread over 42 acres surrounding a picturesque
lake.
A RESORT COMMUNITY

architecture, WorldQuest Resort will be a 612-unit
luxury condo hotel community located just minutes
from the entrance to Walt Disney World in Orlando,
Florida. It will consist of 18 five-story buildings,
surrounding a large natural lake on over 42 acres
of land.
In short, this will be a large resort
community. It will offer two- and three-bedroom condo
hotel units, ranging in size from 1,286 sq. feet to
1,541 sq. ft. They will have full kitchens and living
areas as well as balconies. These units are true condos,

A
SUPERB LOCATION
Let's face it. If you come to Orlando, you want to
be near the action, close to the theme parks, attractions,
shopping, restaurants, golf and more. WorldQuest Resort
is there!
It will be located just across from the entrance
to EPCOT. It's so close to Walt Disney World that
you'll be able to watch the nightly fireworks display
from your balcony.
It's also located on what will be an extension of
world-famous International Drive. I-Drive, as the
locals call it, has literally hundreds of retailers,
restaurants, attractions and theme parks such as Sea
World, Universal Studios and Wet 'n Wild.
The new extension will be called World Gateway Development
and is a large chunk of land zoned for hotels, restaurants,
retailers and other upscale establishments. The first
property there just opened this summer, the Nickelodeon
Family Suites hotel, named and themed after the children's
TV network.
WorldQuest Resort will be the first
condo hotel in the World Gateway Development. It's
premier location will place it:
-
Less than a mile from the entrance to Walt Disney
World
- 15 minutes from Universal Studios
Florida & Islands of Adventure
- 10 minutes from Wet 'n Wild
- 5 minutes from Sea World &
Discovery Cove
- 15 minutes from Orlando's premium
outlet malls
- 20 minutes from Orlando International
Airport
- Walking distance to International
Drive's attractions, dining, shopping
MORE ON INTERNATIONAL
DRIVE
For 35 years, International Drive has been the Main
Street of Central Florida's tourist economy. First
established in 1970 as a place to stay for families
visiting Disney World, it has morphed into an outlet
shopping, amusement and convention Mecca. New resorts,
luxury timeshares and upscale retail outlets are sprouting
up, triggering predictions of a new wave of tourist
growth in the coming years.
I-Drive is touted as "the most
spectacular tourist and convention destination in
the world." What can you do on I-Drive? Pretty
much anything you want.
You can ride roller coasters, swim
with dolphins, drive go-karts, "skydive"
in a vertical wind tunnel or be flung 365 feet into
the air from the inside of a mock volcano. You can
play miniature or championship golf; tour a recreation
of the Titanic; and shop at Armani, Fendi or Ralph
Lauren designer outlets.
You can eat the $3.99 breakfast buffet
at Ponderosa, the $85 porterhouse steak at Dux or
catch dinner and a show at Fiascos Circus & Magic
Dinner Show, complete with its intentionally klutzy
performers, trained-dog act and goldfish races.
Hoteliers and tourist executives
cite the Orange County Convention Center, with its
2.1 million sq. ft. of meeting space, as one of the
area's biggest draws. It is, after all, the nation's
second largest convention center after Chicago.
The Orange County Convention Center,
with its $748 million addition, had record attendance
last year.
A new $748 million addition boosted
last year's attendance to over 1 million conventioneers,
a performance officials say the center is on pace
to repeat.
 International
Drive is 14.5 miles long. Nearly half of its southern
leg remains undeveloped, and that's where WorldQuest
Resort will appear.
Its proximity to theme parks and
the convention center will keep guests coming year
round. In addition, WorldQuest Resort is located next
to the Marriott World Center (pictured below), an
immense hotel with 1,993 rooms and suites. With its
400,000 sq. ft. of meeting and convention facilities,
it often needs somewhere to send its overflow, and
WorldQuest Resort will provide that solution.
