Some of the nation's top hospitals, universities, research institutions and health and life science companies—including Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute, University of Central Florida's Health Sciences Campus, Nemours Children's Hospital, Orlando VA Medical Center, University of Florida Research & Academic Center, and Johnson & Johnson's Human Performance Institute—make up Lake Nona Medical City.

Lake Nona has experienced explosive growth in the last seven years, seeing over $3 billion in development. Lake Nona is positioning Orlando as a global destination for healthcare, research and medical education. The annual Lake Nona Impact Forum brings together thought leaders in medicine, wellness, science, technology and policy to engage in spirited discussion on how to make a positive influence on health and wellness, locally and globally.

Lake Nona is a walkable, pedestrian-friendly community with over 1,000 acres of lakes, 44 miles of planned running and biking trails, aquatic centers, community gardens, farmer's markets, outdoor concerts, festivals and sporting events. The combination of these features has made Lake Nona one of the fastest-selling communities in the nation and the fastest-selling community in Greater Orlando, with double the sales than its closest competitor.

On the technology front, Cisco named Lake Nona a “Smart + Connected Community,”one of only nine in the world and the first in the United States. Residents have broadband speeds of 1 gigabit—over 200 times the speed of most United States households.

Over the next decade, Tavistock plans to continue evolving Lake Nona into a leading mixed-use project in the country, gleaning from attributes of communities like Boston, Austin, Nashville, San Diego, Silicon Valley, Boulder, Colorado, Portland and Seattle. Tavistock wants Lake Nona to be known for its creativity, collaboration, excellence in education, rich programming, sustainability and the health of its residents.
