Lighthouse Point was last listed for sale for $20 Million when news first surfaced Disney's interest in May of this year. It has been reported, the pier alone will be a $250 billion-dollar project.

In April 2020, the site plan was updated with a November 19, 2020 date. A comparison of the changes can be viewed in this post.
