We are thrilled to announce that FaverGray has been awarded the 2024 Excellence in Construction Project of the Year by the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) of the First Coast for our outstanding work on Flamingo Crossings Village. This prestigious honor not only highlights the quality and innovation of the project but also solidifies FaverGray’s reputation as a leader in the construction industry.
About Flamingo Crossings Village
Located just outside The Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Flamingo Crossings Village is a 2,614-unit and 10,440-bed development. Spanning approximately 120 acres of land, the Flamingo Crossings Village initiative occupies two sections of property located to the East and West of Flamingo Crossings Boulevard. Positioned with convenient access to Western Way and SR-429, and near Flamingo Crossings Town Center, the project holds a central location 10 minutes away from Disney’s Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and EPCOT.
The purpose of establishing this community was to cater to individuals participating in the Disney Internships Program. For more than 40 years, the Disney Internships Program has provided an exceptional professional journey for students all over the world. Partnering with American Campus Communities (ACC), the largest developer of student housing communities in the nation, Flamingo Crossings Village presents participants with apartments and facilities that will grant them a comfortable, secure, and tranquil setting next to Walt Disney World®.
What Makes Flamingo Crossings Special
Flamingo Crossings was more than just a construction project for FaverGray—it was an opportunity to create a living experience that blends comfort, accessibility, and aesthetic appeal. The complexity of the project required close collaboration between design, construction, and project management teams, as well as efficient coordination with various stakeholders.
The result is a visually stunning and high-quality community that delivers exceptional living spaces. Our commitment to delivering the project on time and within budget, without compromising quality or safety has been recognized with this prestigious award.
