Yea its the middle of a big residential area now. So its not that feasible anymore.
I always felt this site would work though. Right off Truck 17-92 about halfway to downtown Deland down the spur.
It actually goes several blocks east of here but not quite far enough. It doesn't seem impossible to get it to the corner of Ohio and Florida but certainly tough. The biggest obstacle appears to be the church. Ohio and Florida would put it right between Stetson and downtown.

It would be one of the tallest buildings in the neighborhood and meets the zoning. You need to have step downs before you transition to single family neighborhoods.
I thought the next block east was the transition block. I think the east side of Eola Drive has a 130' max. height or something similar but the west side does not have the same limit.

Orlando Lutheran Towers proposes new 21-story tower at downtown site
The tower would replace the current "commons" building along Lake Ave and come with a garage.
Is there any additional info on this? I still can't find any info on line. Thanks.

Modera/CPIII is probably the next one to go up. If we see them build the new ATM go up next to CPII and the Waverly, then we know it's coming.
I didn't realize this was so far along but apparently it's pretty serious. Having this and CSP 2 under construction at the same time would be great. Thanks.

What will be the next project to start up? Feels like there's a bit of a lull in activity.

- Ten story garage with signage naming rights facing I-4
- 100% touch free environment
- Cost in excess of $100 million
- Planned "super block" to include access to rail station, Bumby Arcade food court and updated Cheyenne Saloon
- Office space is 65 - 70% preleased

This is really awesome, except for the ten story parking garage, obviously.

Hi to all the passionate urbanists in this board,
Central Floridians for Public Transit (CFL4Transit) is a nonpartisan organization that advocates for improved transit in Greater Orlando. We are accelerating our efforts in 2022 to anticipation of Mayor Demings' transportation funding initiative for Orange County being put on the ballot for the November election. We want to ensure the funding is spent effectively and efficiently if passed, and is dedicated primarily to improving our inadequate transit system, rather than expanding roads and infrastructure for cars.If you would like to learn more about our organization or join the fight for reliable high quality transit in our community, you can reach us at [email protected], follow us on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter, or sign up for our mailing list.
We would also love to facilitate a discussion about this board's preferred actions for spending any dedicated transit funding to improve transit in Orange County. Community engagement is part of our mission to create a plan that provides frequent, fast, and flexible transit for our region so we do not fall further behind the rest of the country and world for public transit.
Thanks to all for the lively and passionate conversations this board produces!
CFL4TransitConnecting downtown to the airport is #1 on my wish list. Rail to the convention center would be #2.

Idk what was previously approved, but found this today looking for info to take into the meeting: https://bit.ly/VivePDF It basically says that bc 101 Eola was approved for 192 units and only built 146 they will transfer their remaining 46 units to the developer for this project. So this will have as many units as 101 Eola in half the lot size. Amirite?
This: https://bit.ly/ViveMPL-ZON is the city page w tons of pdf files in the right column, site plan, landscaping, tree removal, etc. From everything here it looks like it will be massive on that stretch of Eola Drive.
I walk past this property at least twice a day and I'm very anxious for it to be redeveloped but this looks really bad. It's just a big parking garage with some units on top. The driveway locations look good but the building is terrible. They should at least move the tall part of the building to the west side of the site instead of the east side. The 520 project looks great along Eola Drive. Hopefully, the City has them put units on Eola Drive instead of the parking garage. I wonder if they even met with staff before coming up with this.

What is considered new service? Does that mean Wyoming currently doesn't have service either and noone is stopping in Iowa or Kentucky?
or tennessee.

They should split the Tampa-Orlando trains and the Orlando-Tampa trains in Auburndale with half of each train going to Miami and the other halves going to Orlando or Tampa. Northbound trains from Miami should also split and Auburndale with half going to Tampa and half going to Orlando. This would almost double service without increasing track usage much at all.

Still don't know how they got away with that ugly-ass non-screened garage facing I-4. (or the "retail" portion).
And it's the same team that totally hid the garage on the Lakehouse project. I'm still not really sure where the Lakehouse garage is. This project is awesome but the I-4 side is a real letdown.

I agree the close proximity of single family neighborhoods to downtown makes Orlando very unique. But it’s also a drawback when you consider the very limited height restriction for downtown buildings. There is no where for urban development to expand since it can only go up so high vertically. Orlando would benefit greatly if there were a “midtown” area that could focus on cleaner, newer, modern urban development and focus on attracting high end consumers. It’s hard to mix the grit and current crowd of downtown with more sophisticated and cultured individuals who want an urban lifestyle but are not comfortable in the downtown atmosphere. Miami (Brickell and Downtown) and Atlanta (Midtown and Downtown) succeed in offering a more diverse urban lifestyle but Orlando seems to only offer one urban way of living.
Also, I think it’s not that people just come here and prefer the suburbs (although many people do). I think there is nothing so attractive happening in downtown that makes people say, “I want to live close to that!” People choose to live in buckhead Atlanta because that’s where the best shopping in the region is. People live in Midtown Atlanta because of the unparalleled arts and design culture. People choose Brickell because it’s the financial epicenter and jobs are all around (in addition to great entertainment and retail). People live in the District (D.C.) because of the history, architecture, museums and culture. In my opinion downtown has to offer better experiences and environments for people to leave the main attraction of the theme parks. There’s no regional retail destination in downtown, the art scene is rather mediocre, and the entertainment options don’t compare to I-drive and the theme parks. What is downtown going to bring to make people say “I can’t live to far away from that!”
Orlando has a huge north-south urban strip to work with. I think it's very comparable to Atlanta on a smaller scale. Also, Atlanta has tons of single family just east of Piedmont.

Agreed! Downtown desperately needs more condos. A desirable regional shopping/entertainment destination would be great. Kinda like a Brickell city center vibe. Or even a small themed district would be cool too, like a brewery district. I just hope to see something architecturally interesting built it the core.
I totally agree. Also, the Brickell project has mostly underground parking even with a high water table. The water table at the Sentinel site is pretty low and would allow for at least one level of actual below ground parking, I believe.

That design is coherent and well done. The ground floor also looks fantastic to the street.
From South Street too?

Brevard County stop can't happen from Orlando. Probably would from Jacksonville and Miami.
Is that due to a Beachline agreement issue? I was looking forward to taking it to Cocoa someday.

Beyond the obvious craziness of this, the fact that someone would call the co-chair of the House Blue Dog Coalition a "leftist" is pretty nutty.

If they can get that sweet road grid added through there and get a ton of units entitled, I'll be happy.
