A $400 million luxury residential development is planned for International Drive, bringing 240 high-end residences and boutique hotel-style services to the popular tourism corridor.

The 18-story project, called Morada Orlando, is being developed by Marcelo Teixeira and Juliana Boselli Neves of MakeSpace Development. 

What they're saying:

Neves said developers saw an opportunity for luxury residences with hotel-style amenities. "We really saw a gap," she said.

Developers began accepting interest from prospective buyers this week and said they have already received 15 deposits. Each deposit costs $50,000. Prices for the two-, three- and four-bedroom residences, as well as penthouses, will start at $1 million.
