- Chuck Whittall is changing Orlando. He's is the founder and CEO of Unicorp National Developments. A development company headquartered here in Orlando, Florida. From his massive re-developments like Icon Park and O-town West, to local lifestyle centers like Celebration Pointe, Griffin Park (Lake Mary), and the Mark (Horizon West), Chuck's influence runs deep in Orlando. Today we sit down and talk about exciting new developments, how Orlando is becoming more sophisticated, and why Chuck prefers racing Ferrari's over golf.

I'm from Orlando originally and have been living near the LA area for the past 10 years. Looking forward to moving back in the next year or so. Really hoping unicorp converts the fashion square mall area into somewhat of lifestyle center like "The Grove" in LA or the "The Americana at Brand" in Glendale. Really nice, elevated, shopping, dining, and entertainment experience. This is a great opportunity for Unicorp to really change the downtown area!
Oh totally agree! The outdoor space and lifestyle areas are super popular and would transform the baldwin park/fashion square area
I hope they will build a new gorgeous mega shopping mall here in Orlando.
It is amazing how the shopping habits changed. He is on point that people shop online and go to malls to enjoy and socialize.
Once the rebuild the Fashion Square Mall it will bring a lot of new business to the area.
Agreeeeeeee
Downtown area is so poor and lacking modern architecture and outdoor beauty for walking or gathering 🙁
Mr.Chuck Whittall is a pretty sharp businessman.
Amazing to think how different Central Florida’s trajectory could have been if someone like Chuck wasn’t in charge of the reopening committee. Businesses could’ve easily been held hostage for a year + without reopening, really stagnating growth. Props to him for seeing the right path forward.
We need an multi level open air mall downtown kind of like Brickell Center in Miami
Facts like we need another gorgeous shopping mall
Great interview!!
Thanks! He was super kind
Really great interview! Learned so much about Central Florida and Orlando.
this is so inspiring my family and i are in the construction business 🙌🏼 needed to hear this! thanks for bringing this interview to us Ken and team!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you, Ken, for this amazing interview with Chuck. His O’town west is getting better and better every day. Can’t wait for Tao and for Fashion Square mall.
This interview consist of insightful perspective from Chuck. Born and raised in Orlando and witnessing the growth is quite intriguing. Great questions asked by Ken as well.
Chuck is a legend. Excited to see what he does next
Excellent interview, Ken!
Great interview ! Very interesting..thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching, Eddie!
Fantastic interview !
I feel like we need a new beautiful luxury shopping mall here in Orlando like something like the Aventura Mall in Miami or The American Dream Mall here, like a big mega mall, I believe it will be a astonishing idea especially in Central Florida’s boom. Like a mall that is indoor and a outdoor plaza with shops restaurants and entertainment. Hope this will happen soon. I was kind of sad when Isquare Mall wasn’t pushed thru.
Millenia is nice here
@@TheSportsandFilmFellowship ya but pretty small but still decently clean and elegant.
Great interview, Ken! ❤ cheers to Chuck to loves to live a Life to the Full by exercising his SPARK - creating! 🎉Cheers to all creators!!
Amazing work. Great to see what a little focus does to change a city for the better! Inspiring.
He had me thinking next level for sure!
Very nice informative.
Great interview, more please! I want to come down and work for you Ken.
Wow what a guy Chuck is, great interview Ken👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks, Steve!
Legend
What a beast. Got in the game early, flipped Orlando and called It a life.
I’m only 5 minutes into this video right now. This man is a legend
Mr Whittall definitely is helping in ushering a more sophisticated upscale product other big cities have to the growing Central Florida area at pretty much the right time. He is leveling it up as it should be. As they say. Time is of the essence.
You are a very interesting person Chuck and very energetic. Your interview was charming
Hello Chuck, I would like to make some suggestions to make the suburbs of Orlando much better. I am in Winter Garden. We do not have a big gym that has an indoor pool or a walking track or a gym that is open 24 hours. Can you start a project in Horizon West with building a gym? We have too much restaurants here. We also need some bowling alleys that are new and modern. I do not want to go to Disney Springs and wait 2 hours to bowl for one hour.
Life style center needed in Windermere we need more things this way.
My favorite car is the Korvette, I would love to buy a white Korvette some day in the future.
Hello. What do you think of Richmond homes in FL?
Tell him to get behind UCF. It's not the NFL but we have the opportunity to get their football program now residing in the Big 12 to the top level.
What I want to know is how a fireman's son built that company... impressive
At least now when my fiancé complains I've spent to much at the theme parks I can say, I could be racing Ferrari's, lol.
It is rentable and ok if a company transform every house for sale as company LLC and then sell to foreigners? because foreigners cannot buy a house so easily...
I do like the guy but I am Sad that some of his new apts are just really cheap. I was hoping the apts would be a bit nicer.
HAHA! As soon as I saw this I clicked on it.
Every time one of Chucks condos @ St. Regis would cancel I would call him about it.
He was still committed to working with the previous agents unfortunately.
A little nervous brah but I understand interviewing someone of that stature.
Haha only nervous during the first question. Then it flowed. But yeah. He’s a big deal
Chuck, can we have more parks with tennis courts. We do not have many tennis courts in Winter Garden. Windermere has tennis courts but you have to be a Windermere resident in order to play tennis. It rains here alot and we need more indoor activities. We do not need more apartments. We need more single story houses that offers people to act like a community and plant themselves and not be transit residents in apartments
Chuck, we need a mall with prestigious stores here in Winter Garden. I do not shop at Disney Springs because those stores are lousy. I do not like the MIllienial mall because it is a teenage hangout
Kuddos Ken
if he can make deals bring the Tampa Bay rays mlb team stadium closer to Orlando plss!!!!
You see the announcement today?
noo where i can see it!!? 😲😲🤩
Just need to fix the homelessness in orlando and abroad!!!
Chuck, we need new grocery stores. Publix is over priced and lacks a lot of food for Eastern Europe. We need competition for Publix. In Chicago, we had Jewel, Dominicks, Caputas, Burtera, Standard Market, etc..... We need more choices for food stores. We need casinos here !!!!
Chuck, I am a renter and my rent increased by $300 per month. I am a teacher in Orange County and earning less than $50K a year. I cannot afford the rent anymore. I am looking for a new job so I can increase my wages. Please hire me if you are so rich and think people are making big bucks and eating out. I do not eat out. I make my own food. I am not in the position to spend money on luxury items.
I am losing my job on May 31. I am a certified teacher and I am a certified paralegal and I have a business degree. Please hire me Chuck if you have any positions that matches my skills and education. I would appreciate it very much. Florida has a shortage of 9,000 teachers but I was hired late and so I am a contract worker. I need a new job !!!! Thank you
Massive disaster is on the way!! My karma spells on all those who stole homes after the 2008 housing crash are working!! Praise be!😄
He is ruining Central Florida one development at the time, we have no trees or green areas is disgusting. I’m appalled our commissioners are allowing him to keep destroying our state
Great interview!
