Central Florida continues to lead the nation in population growth and economic development, and nowhere is that forward momentum more apparent than in Kissimmee. The city is preparing for a major economic lift-off, anchored by ambitious plans to transform the Kissimmee Gateway Airport (ISM) into a premier regional aviation and business hub.
This isn’t just about longer runways; it’s a massive public-private initiative that will reshape the commercial landscape of the area for decades to come.
The New Gateway to Global Business
The Kissimmee City Commission recently solidified a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Kissimmee Airport Development Company LLC (KADC), an experienced local team, to act as the master developer for the airport property. This move comes after the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) greenlit the city’s master plan, clearing the way for substantial infrastructure improvements.
The vision is bold: the plan includes critical additions like a U.S. Customs & Border Patrol outpost to handle international flights, a vertiport for next-generation aerial transport, and a massive build-out of commercial hangar space — up to 330,000 square feet. This level of investment will turn Kissimmee Gateway Airport into a true international and industrial gateway.
A major focus of the development will be converting the long-closed 180-acre municipal golf course into development-ready land suitable for corporate hangars and airport-supportive uses. KADC is fronting the cost for the essential due diligence — including environmental reviews, engineering, and bringing in water, sewer, and roadways — to get the land “pad-ready.” As City Manager Mike Steigerwald pointed out, this investment is crucial for supporting large industry in the area. With a new Hyatt Studios already underway, the momentum is undeniable.
The Immediate Investment Opportunity
This surge of infrastructure spending and commercial focus on the airport creates an unprecedented opportunity for investors and developers who recognize value before the full potential is realized. As the airport footprint and its supportive industrial ecosystem expand, the surrounding area — especially land bordering the development — is positioned for dramatic appreciation and utility.
We are seeing this play out right now.
