[5][6] The SFR was purchased by the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad in 1902, and it became a component of what is now dubbed the CSX A-Line.

After the SunRail project was approved in 2011, the city of Altamonte Springs held a groundbreaking ceremony for its station on January 27, 2012.

[8] Later that year, the city announced plans to purchase a former post office building near the site for future development.

[11] In 2015, the city approved construction of a 102-unit affordable housing project 1⁄3 mile (0.54 km) north of the station.

[12][13] The city also approved a 1-mile (1.6 km) extension of Amanda Street from Jackson Street to the station[14] and a 3+1⁄2-mile (5.6 km) pedestrian trail connecting the station to the Seminole Wekiva Trail, which would also pass by Uptown Altamonte and Altamonte Mall.
