While plans for a permanent corporate home for the Orlando Magic remain on hold, the basketball team will move its offices from Maitland to downtown Orlando later this year.
The Magic has leased a floor in downtown’s CNL Building II next to City Hall. The 23,000-square-foot space will house more than 200 employees, leaving behind their longtime offices in Maitland’s RDV Sportsplex.
The move is expected to be temporary until the completion of the $500 million Orlando Sports + Entertainment District, a planned mixed-use development on 8.1 acres across from the Amway Center.
Senior Vice President Joel Glass said the target date for the move downtown will be after Labor Day, calling the new offices a “bridge” to the SED.
