L AKE NONA 2022 This book contains a visual history of Lake Nona's development. Planned and built from scratch by the Tavistock Group, a private investment organization founded by Joe Lewis, Lake Nona started with a vision to create an extraordinary place through public and private partnership, and has evolved into one of the nation’s most innovative communities. Located in Orlando, Florida, Lake Nona is one of the fastest growing communities in the country. Contiguous to Orlando International Airport, the 17-square-mile, master-planned community is home to thoughtfully designed neighborhoods, a globally recognized health and life sciences cluster, world-class education facilities, and a vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem.
