2 hours ago, eq1974 said:I am moving in October 15. I have lived in Orlando most my life but have never lived downtown. Though for the last 30 years I have been inching closer- Union Park> Hourglass District> Milk District...
Warning! I am about to ramble! If you want very little field info on The Radius read on...
About a month ago I went on a Radius “hard hat tour” for people who have already submitted rental agreements (like me) and potential renters and there were about 12 of us. It consisted of putting on hard hats (duh but it was sort of cool), entering a side door and up like 4 flights of stairs to the first floor of rental units (I guess ground floor retail will have tall ceilings and it does mean my “4th floor” unit is 5 stories up), down an unfinished hallway and being able to view 2 different floor plan finished units (no display furniture).
Neither unit was my floor plan but I got to see what to expect. Seemed like the walls were pretty solid (good for noise or lack of) and the floor coverings look quality and very nice. Appliances and unit fixtures of course were what you would expect in a new building. And that was it for the tour. Nothing else was available for touring.
I got to meet the staff I had been talking to for months and they are as friendly in person as they are on the phone.
My unit faces the plaza. I have only seen the plaza landscaping from pictures posted on here (thank you BTW) and am hoping they are not finished yet. New I know but a little barren looking. I’ll get down there soon to check in person.
I am looking forward to my downtown experience. It really will be a different lifestyle for me.
Hi eq1974, I can fill in some info for you. Glad you are moving in and very happy to hear the staff is treating you well.
The plaza will be more filled in eventually with some standing sculptures, ground lighting and outdoor furniture from the retail tenants. There are a couple of bike racks yet to be installed as well. We have one retail tenant in for permit (Ding Tea, as mentioned here previously). We are working on leases with two more cool tenants, and talking terms with several other users. There should be a pretty good mix of users in here when we are done that will improve your resident experience. And once they are all moved in and operating the plaza will feel much more full.
On the inside, it is still a work in progress. We have temporary certificate of occupancy, with full CO expected in about a month and a half. So the common areas as of today will still feel a bit empty and sparse. Some of the furniture and artwork is going in now but there will be much more going in later. The pool deck and bocce ball deck are still under construction but getting close, and the fitness center is either done or close to it. And there will be a lot more amenity spaces for tenants coming in soon, but not activated just yet: business center, game room, dog wash, outdoor dog run, storage room, parcel room with refrigerated space, etc. We are getting there....

Right direction, but seems a bit high for a 7th floor view.
It'd be more like this....

Welcome to the Orlando forum. Glad to have you with us!
Thanks, I've been lurking for a while and trying to keep tabs on this deal as well. Thought now would be a good time to sign up.

Gotcha, apologies. The picture on the article from last week that someone linked a few posts back.

That isn't the final approved rendering. The one from the Growthspotter article is.

Yes, that's it. Same group, cool concept.
Likely to have another big lease signed in the next two weeks or so. Almost full now.
