Disney is canceling plans to build a nearly $900 million corporate campus in Lake Nona, Florida, citing “changing business conditions.”

Josh D’Amaro, chairman of Disney’s parks, experiences, and products division, announced the decision to scrap plans to build the campus, which would have housed roughly 2,000 employees, in an email to workers on May 18.
