Benchmark Building Group is Proud to Be Selected as The Construction Partner for Anthem Orlando – A Landmark LGBTQ+ Venue with Citywide Impact
Benchmark Building Group is proud to announce our role as the construction partner behind Anthem Orlando—a bold, forward-thinking LGBTQ+ nightclub and community hub set to open this fall in the heart of downtown Orlando.
Located at 100 N. Orange Avenue, Anthem is more than just a nightlife venue—it’s a statement. Created by co-founders Michael Vacirca and Emmanuel Quiñones, Anthem is a space built on purpose: to celebrate Orlando’s vibrant LGBTQ+ community, honor the legacy of Pulse, and reintroduce a sense of belonging, safety, and joy into downtown nightlife.
At Benchmark Building Group, we’re honored to help bring that vision to life.
From the start, it was clear this was a special project—one with the potential to do more than fill a space. Anthem could be the spark that reignites downtown Orlando. With its upscale design, immersive lighting, indoor-outdoor lounge, and premium cocktail offerings, Anthem is poised to attract a sophisticated, diverse crowd back into the city core—something downtown has sorely needed in recent years.
“Orlando deserves more venues like this—bold, inclusive, and built for community,” said a spokesperson for Benchmark Building Group. “Anthem isn’t just about nightlife. It’s about revitalization. It’s about building a place where people want to gather, connect, and stay.”
Anthem is setting a new standard for what a downtown venue can be. It’s not only an LGBTQ+ safe space—it’s a destination, a platform for local talent and events, and a place where hospitality meets intention. We believe projects like this are essential to the continued cultural and economic growth of the city.
As the project moves forward, our team remains deeply committed to delivering a space that reflects the Anthem vision: modern, inclusive, and unforgettable. We’re proud to contribute to a project that will serve as a beacon of pride, connection, and revitalization for Orlando.
