"Orlando city leaders will mull a $100 million sports and entertainment complex dreamed up by Orlando Magic executives.\"We want to invest here in downtown Orlando,\" said CEO of the Magic Alex Martins.The development would be built across the street from Amway Center.At a council workshop Monday morning, Martins pointed out the sweeping revitalization that has occurred in other cities like Memphis and Charlotte after similar entertainment complexes were built and he sees that happening in Parramore.\"And in all of those instances, you can go to those areas today around those arenas and see blocks and blocks of development that was all spurred by that development. And so, that's always been the vision,\" said Martins.Planners have been mum about exactly what they want to build on Church Street between Hughey and Division, but restaurants and a hotel are part of the talks.\"I would like to see retail that is more geared toward families and just a different demographic than the 21- to 25-year-old,\" said Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer.Part of the deal could include the current site of the Orlando Police Department headquarters.If the city agrees to sell that parcel to the Magic, the team will likely move its offices downtown from Maitland.OPD may move its headquarters to a new home at the Lynx service yard on Orange Blossom Trail at South Street.The Magic will deliver a full proposal to the city by April 28 and city council will discuss it and may vote on combining the two property purchases on June 3.Separate from the city, the Magic are discussing purchasing the land on which the Orlando Union rescue mission sits to complete the entire block purchase, although the team said it can proceed without that small chunk of land.If all of this comes together, the complex could be built and the police station moved within three years.The price tag on the total 8.5-acre property involved in the plan was not made public. \u00A016051702"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
