As construction progresses, the relationship between these spaces is becoming increasingly visible throughout the development. From resident amenities to pedestrian flow and site functionality, the project continues to reflect a carefully planned approach to modern multifamily living.

Ellison Nona’s location places future residents near major destinations including Medical City, Orlando International Airport, and a growing collection of dining, retail, and employment opportunities throughout the surrounding area. The continued expansion of Lake Nona further reinforces the demand for high-quality multifamily communities that provide both accessibility and elevated living experiences. Continuing Momentum Into the Months Ahead Each month of construction brings Ellison Nona closer to becoming a fully realized residential community within the Lake Nona market. From infrastructure and framing to the ongoing evolution of the site itself, progress throughout May highlights the continued momentum behind the project.
