I-Drive Live is
quickly coming together on International Drive.
The new shopping and entertainment complex already has exterior walls in
place for two of its central tenants, the 25,000sq ft Madame Tussauds wax museum and the 25,000sq ft SeaLife aquarium.
The development will also feature a number of
restaurants including Yard House, Chuy’s, Red Robin, Outback Steakhouse, and Buffalo
Wild Wings. Ciao Italia Ristorante is
also slated for the new development. A new
to Orlando, 20,000sq ft Las Vegas-style night club with a pool is
also planned to open in the complex. Construction of I-Drive Live is happening in
phases with the entire project finished by the end of 2014.
