Professional Training and Economic Growth “We aim to build a world-class center that inspires innovation, connects our people to KPMG’s rich culture and heritage, and provides an immersive, fun and engaging learning and development environment,” Gomez said. It is privately owned by KPMG and is not open for public use. The focus at KPMG Lakehouse will be on learning, innovation and professional development.

While Lakehouse is not a hotel, it will feature 800 single-occupancy guest rooms and multiple dining options exclusively for the firm’s partners and professionals. “It will be a catalyst for transformative growth and a place to inspire, spark curiosity and collaboration.” “Lakehouse is a place to renew, reflect and reconnect as professionals,” said Gomez. The $450 million investment by KPMG in Lakehouse, he said, reflects the firm’s commitment to its most valuable asset – its people. “Lakehouse is a cornerstone of a strategic learning transformation at KPMG designed to ensure we will attract and retain the best talent, equip our professionals to help clients meet the challenges of a dynamic marketplace, and support innovation throughout the firm,” said Gomez.

The 780,000-square-foot superstructure seems to grow in scope and stature each day, and it is visible from many portions of Lake Nona, which makes it a point of curiosity for its neighbors. Since its groundbreaking in May 2017, this project has grown rapidly from a 55-acre expanse of dirt fronting Lake Nona and Red Lake. There’s much more to this project than the heavy dirt-moving vehicles and army of more than 700 construction workers busily building KPMG’s future from the ground up.

“We anticipate offering more than one million hours of in-person professional development in our first year of operation.” “We expect up to 800 KPMG partners and professionals will come to Lakehouse each week for hands-on, collaborative learning experiences,” said Matthew Gomez, longtime central Florida resident and KPMG spokesman.
