The Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts has announced a strategic move to secure its future by purchasing two important parcels in Downtown Orlando for $10.39 million.
The properties, located at 42 E. Jackson St. and 36 E. Jackson St., together cover a total area of 43,948 square feet. Members of the Performing Arts team acquisition support the center’s long-term objectives of increasing access, enriching experiences, and bolstering its role as a key cultural and economic hub in Central Florida.
“Our promise has always been to elevate arts and community,” said Kathy Ramsberger, president & CEO of Dr. Phillips Center.
Since opening, the Dr. Phillips Center has hosted over 5.6 million visitors, with venues nearly complete year-round.

Initially, the properties will serve as office space and guest parking while plans are finalized. More details will be shared later…
