The local ownership group working to bring a Major League Baseball team to Orange County has executed a lease for office space in downtown Orlando.
Orlando Dreamers spokesperson Andrew Herdliska told Orlando Business Journal the group has secured a 3,500-square-foot space for three years on the first floor of an office building at 105 E. Robinson Street.

“We are currently working with local vendors to design and install exterior signage on the building,” according to Herdliska. “We plan on this effort having a massive, positive economic impact on local businesses and we are establishing this precedent from the start.”
Financial terms of the lease were not disclosed. A LoopNet listing for the space, which was previously occupied by a bank, notes an asking rental rate of $30 per square foot – a yearly cost of $105,000.
“With all the additional positive momentum our effort has received in recent weeks, it was clear that we needed to aggressively move to the next phase of our initiative and open our corporate headquarters location in downtown Orlando,” Herdliska said.

Buildings much like this one are literally all over the place most of them house medical supplies/health care providers and the like. My first concern is if they hire enough to fill each available space, where are the clients going to park? And that prolly says more about my profession than anything else…Brodie, you mention expansion ready places like Portland & SLC with $900-$800M and think those are a lock, But the Dreamers if their statements are to be taken realistically have $1.5B-$2.5B they are willing to spend? So again, I reiterate, the conversation regarding "we're playing in Tampa/St.Pete" is ONLY "legalese". MLB HAS to say that, there is no other LEGAL alternative. Until St. Pete says "hey, we're NOT going to have the Trop done in time to play next year, can we come to a settlement beneficial to BOTH parties" No one in MLB or the current Rays ownership can or will say anything contrary.
The picture is becoming clear. The Dreamers don't care what happens around them, they know that getting a stadium deal in place, without a team, is today's equivalent of building a stadium without a team 40 years ago (see Suncoast dome). they're after any team that has a lease expiring in the next handful of years. Reading the Dreamers are meeting with Orange County officials, so it seems obvious to me that they want to get a stadium deal done to try and lure any team to Orlando. Stadium deals are getting harder to come by everywhere not just in certain locations. if MLB has a $2B turn-key stadium deal in place and ready to go in Orlando do we really think that 'just because' the Rays exists in TB that MLB wouldn't allow a struggling team to move to Orlando?
Dreamers stole my job now their coming for my team?
$100,000 a year for the floor lease, will definitely exceed that amount on the interior.
Talk about a waste of money. Orlando isn’t getting a team if Tampa keeps the rays.
This is news? Do you think MLB is impressed that wanna-be owners of a team have office space? If the Rays stay in Tampa, Orlando will not get a team. Even if the Rays look elsewhere, having office space is irrelevant. A very non-news story.
Dream is over, it was the Rays or bust. There will be a video of "suspension of operations" on this channel by this time next year.
This dream is dead as long the Reys stay in Tampa. If major-league baseball does give Orlando a team they’re gonna have to pay the Reys for the rights that they own right now. That’s even if they are for sale.
Orlando is waiting for a relocation opportunity. It is just a matter of time.
I wonder if the Dreamers are going to wind up as a perpetual bridesmaid, like Balsilie when he kept trying to bring an NHL team to Hamilton?
Unless the Orlando folks get special discussion, I worry they’ll always be denied to get into MLB due to the proximity factor with regards to Tampa. If they decided to try to get football instead, I’m sure the NFL would quickly roadblock them on the closeness as well.
That would limit them to having to go to the NHL among the Big 5 leagues. The NHL might be willing to ignore distance in favor of growing the league, and Orlando and Tampa would be one heckuva rivalry (based on their old Arena Football War on I-4, and the college rivalry between Central Florida in Orlando and South Florida in Tampa).
I really doubt the Dreamers would try to get into lacrosse outdoors or indoors, rugby, or cricket without an established fan base in Orlando or an established rival in Tampa to play off of.
What happened to renaming themselves the Orlando Doers?
What exactly will they be using the office space for if they don’t even have a team to run yet?
Don’t the Rays already have territorial rights over Orlando?
If that first floor was a bank, it's going to be a nightmare from an IT perspective and possibly from other perspectives as well e.g. HVAC. I've done IT work in a former bank, and just working through/around the walls was extremely difficult. Guess we'll find out if they're still serious if/when they set up offices.
I'm with you on the Tampa situation as well. If the new owner just bought the Rays and wants to stay in Tampa, then how are they and the Dreamers going to coexist? The only scenario that might work is a relocation of the Rays to a new city outside of Florida e.g. Nashville, but then do the Dreamers wait for an expansion franchise? We need to see a few more dominoes fall before that scenario makes sense.
The Dreamers are dreaming if they think MLB is going to put another team in Florida and this one only 90 miles from the Rays. If Rays leave Florida then it could happen. Maybe Rays could still end up in Orlando? Hard to know. Other than that I just don’t MLB there.
Seems like they are setting up MLB for a lawsuit to gain a team IMO. Rays sold and staying in Tampa area, MLB is not putting a third team in Florida, Twins are not moving out of a tax payer funded stadium that is new. The Angles are not moving out of the LA area and giving up that TV market for Orlando. I mean I guess I can see the group trying to buy the Angles and move them but the ROI would be lousy. So someone would be crazy to do that. Not really sure what they are trying to accomplish, no real realistic chance of getting a team.
