This project was to start construction in the 4th quarter! It's now mid December and there's no signs of progress. Has there been a delay that has been discussed that I might have missed?

They are, but the flyovers for I-4 pretty much block your view. Ask me how I know.
How do you know? You told us to ask..

4th quarter 2020. So in next 60 days hopefully if Northland is still keeping the 30 story highrise
Well Jaymar sold this land to Northland Corp.
So the Monarch site is totally up to Northland Corp now.
4th Quarter of 2021 Florida Born?

This is awesome for downtown.. This, CSP2, Holocaust museum, and society are going to change downtown so much (and the Skyline). Lets just hope this and CSP2 get going soon!
Isn't Monarch looking promising as well, at this point?

I know I'll be seen as a heretic around here for this, but like Zoi House, I hope it never gets built.
IMO, it's too massive for that neighborhood and those kinds of huge buildings are destroying the charm of Eola South.
I'd like to see the St Regis stay where it's at and some narrower, smaller footprint building go up there instead.
This thing is just another big, fat, land gobbling chunk.
Density at 33 stories!! Nuff said

Leave out Shaq and add Blake Bortles and this is a great idea.
Bad idea! Shaq and Tiger would be 2 global icons that are a must.

35-Story Church Street Plaza Phase 2 is a go!
BREAKING: BUILDERS REQUEST PERMIT TO DEMO THE BALLROOMDoes anyone know how long it takes on average to obtain that type of permit? You would've figured that it would've been already in place if they were going to start the demo before the end of the year as suggested!

am i the only one who finds this thing ugly coming from the south on i-4 heading northbound?
We won't really know until it's built, but I'm tired of reading different reporting! We went from 32 stories to 35 and now 34! Like wtf?

It’s confirmed that the Presidential ballroom is to be demolished and replaced by this development while the Bumby Arcade and Orchard Garden will remain and incorporated into the food hall.
Ok thanks, the food hall part of things was the confusing part for some of us that don't know the attachment of the hall with the ballroom. But that clears it up!

Height aside -- I would be more excited with how this building interacts with the yet to be built food hall and an integrated Sunrail station.
If this were truly a mixed used office and residential / retail component that has access through Church Street, this may be the development that finally pushes CSS into a new era with some consistent pedestrian activity.
With that said, do we know if they will be imploding the building that they are scheduled to build on, or will they build on top of and around what is already there? We thought a while back that they were conducting pest control to ready themselves for demolition.

The rendering got Barriosed but it's a huge improvement over that first nonsense lol
I would say an improvement over the second rendering. The original version was actually pretty sweet and more slender!

This is very exciting. The possibility that we have a close to a 400’ tower that actually might happen is great news. The design is nicer indeed.
Not close to 400' over 400 feet!

Yes, Phase 1 is under construction currently with structural pillars for the first 2 floors already in place.
So is it confirmed which height they're building first? I'm under the impression that the 28 story tower is first. Is that the case?

It would be nice if this one, the Radisson tower, the Sparrow one and Church Street 2 get built.
4 medium size towers.... Orlando would look a little more like a real city
We'll see, I am not holding my breath.

Bring in the Rays, build a downtown stadium with about 40k and now we're cooking!!

You mean like the non-chunky looking 32 story 55 W?
Yeah true, I'll give you that lol however it's not so much the structure as it is that stupid hat that tops the building off!

100% this
I liked the thinner slender design before. This is another fat chunky building that I fear will morph with the waverly in front to form one gigantic fat blob.
looks a little too Miami Beach-ish for me. The other design seemed more refined...
I think the 33 stories should alleviate the chunky feel, unlike CSP1 where it's basically just 24 stories!

I think I prefer the 50s modernism elements of the original rendering and the repetitive brise soliel over the podium garage ;)
The old version actually looks like the newly proposed Monarc. Im glad they changed the rendering!

I think I prefer the older rendering but its interesting if a not bad way
The older rendering was just a tall box, at least this has much more character!

I'd like to have seen it go up on the Golden Sparrow site.
I totally agree on both fronts. It could've been at a different parcel but who knows what the asking price was and the pedestal is totally unnecessary! I would say phase out the wide base and save the tree if that was a solution to having both.

Orlando’s not Austin (not to take away from Austin - it’s a splendid place and I’d kill for an H-E-B here)
Austin, however, has a built in advantage for its downtown-it’s a state capital. Those cities grew out from their downtowns as the core of their regions (Atlanta and Nashville, cities where I lived, were similar in that regard).
Otoh, downtown Orlando was never the center of the region.
In fact, had it not been for a sleight of hand by Jacob Summerlin, Sanford was supposed to be the major city hereabouts.
Anyway, it was decentralized from the beginning and became more so after WWII.
Trying to make downtown something it never was and never will be hasn’t worked so far and is probably not going to change.
A successful city is all about its sense of place. May I recommend a review of how Central Florida came to be? I would be happy to recommend some books and articles on our history and UCF has some fine courses on our local history, if infrequent.
Spenser, I get it but that history is long past and to keep progressing forward, you can't keep getting stuck in what the city used to be. It's about where do you want to go now! Im just simply saying that there's absolutely no justification to expect a growing metropolis to not build a tower for a tree.

I wouldn't take it all too seriously.
Honestly, I'm cool... ive just lived in 2 other major cities before settling here to raise a family and have never heard or read about a tree basically causing an uprising to block a new development, especially a 400' plus tower! It's just crazy to keep reading the same argument day after day.

Above all else, this is an opinion forum.
People express opinions here.
There is no guarantee that yours will agree with them all or that they will all agree with yours.
But don't worry.... opinions won't hurt you.
BTW, in my opinion, I hope the design gets scaled back.
Not only to save the tree, but so that the neighboring building won't need to be demo'd as well.
Cool.
Maybe I'll join up over there too.
Sounds like my kind of place.
We now have 15 towers in development that are over 500'. That doesn't even include some planned projects that should be well over that height like Block 190, Railyard Condos site x 2, and 321 W. 6th.
I happen to stumble across the Austin thread about another new 600' tower that just got proposed and this was one of the first post from someone in the know... And here in Orlando we're squabbling over 1 tree to build just 1 tower! Smh-
