This is a project that has been in the works since the 2008 financial crisis and is only now starting to pick up steam and actually grow (ironically as we are headed towards another recession). A few hotels have already opened here and Disney College Program housing (10,400 bed) will be moved into this location from the current locations. Along with this, it's expected that a lot of commercial development will come to the area to support the thousands who will now call this area home, just outside the WDW gates near DAK and very close to Disney's new solar panel field.
Four hotels are currently planned to be built for the area with a fifth just added:
And a fifth hotel, a Hampton Inn, is being built next to two existing hotel (two budget Marriott hotels):
There's also a 1,300 room apartment complex being built in the area:
...and across the street is where the DCP Housing is being built, which has just gone vertical:
