Sequiam Heliport

Business Closure. The heliport was a private facility owned and operated by a corporation named Sequim, Inc. The closure was a direct result of this company ceasing operations and being formally dissolved. This indicates the closure was for business/economic reasons, not due to an accident, military conversion, or regulatory action.

The site of the former heliport has been completely redeveloped. The coordinates 28.447201, -81.369202 pinpoint a location within the parking lot of a large retail center at 6100 South Orange Avenue, Orlando, FL. This building has housed several large retailers over the years, including an Incredible Universe, a Rooms To Go, and currently a City Furniture store. There are no visible remnants or markings of the former heliport.

Sequiam Heliport was a private-use facility with minimal public or historical significance. It was activated in November 1984, coinciding with the incorporation of its owner, Sequim, Inc., a company managed by real estate developer Robert L. Stalnaker. The heliport was likely used for corporate and executive transport, potentially for surveying land and visiting development sites in the rapidly expanding South Orlando area during the mid-1980s and early 1990s. It did not handle commercial or public flights. The name 'Sequiam' as listed in some databases appears to be a misspelling of the owner's name, 'Sequim, Inc.'

There are no plans or prospects for reopening the heliport. The land is now a high-traffic, fully utilized commercial property. Re-establishing a heliport in the middle of a busy retail parking lot is not feasible or planned.
