    It certainly wont make for an attractive view for those residents of Radius facing west on the lower floors.

    You have to start somewhere.

    When Sky House was built, the neighbors along Rosalind/Magnolia were: to the south another parking garage, to the north the backside of the courthouse (which all together is an attractive building); to the  east a concrete slab fronting a parking garage, and to the north east a rundown roach trap (Travel Lodge).  So at the time it made sense for Sky House to put its backside to the street. 

    Now  let's hope  someone follows Radius' lead and builds something nice on the block to the south.

  2. But another way to look at it is a 5% cost overrun on I-4 vs 577% cost overrun on Boston's Big Dig.  In those terms we are making out like bandits.  I mean, good gawd, who ever heard of a cost overrun of only 5% on a government contract?  Jeez, some perspective here.

  3. I'm not ready to write of Livingston retail just yet.  Radius = 389 units, X-Orlando phase I = 262 units, 11 story Orange & Robinson = 368 units, Parcel U = 250 units min. Julian = 400 units.  That's 1,669 units or about 2,500 people ... plus 600 bed Union West, commuter students, courthouse and future EA Sports employees, and the peeps staying at Marriott and the new Hampton Inn.  

    Then add x Orlando phase 2 = 266

    I'm not worried about the retail ... It will come chasing those numbers.  Boom!
