Citi Tower | 23-Story Residential [Under Construction]

[jrs2]

it will completely block Sanctuary from view from Plaza garage, maybe even from some of the residential levels.

It's definitely got quite a presence. Walked by it yesterday evening and it felt massive. Looking forward to when the facade work begins.

Really interested to see what retail/dining they get in there.

Walking back from lunch today I snapped these photos, 1) from the library parking garage and 2) from Pine Street in front of Capital Plaza. Great addition to Eola South.

Very nice shots.

Nice pics Alex!  Can't wait to see this top out with the crown feature to see how it is going to look in relation to the adjacent buildings.  I think it will end up being one of my favorite buildings in Orlando when it is all said and done.

As coincidence would have it, I was out taking some parking garage pics this afternoon too. I actually took a couple from the exact same spot on top of the library garage as Alex did, so I won't post those as they are identical. 

Here are a few more. I think they may have lost some resolution when I resized them.

I live about a block away so it's been delightful watching the progress !

Do we know how many stories this will be? Their website says 25 but I've seen 22, 23...?

I count 23 in this rendering...

According to their website, 25: 

CitiTower, Orlando’s newest luxury apartment tower, soars 25 stories above the city. Next to Lake Eola Park, the 233 studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartment homes are artfully decorated and feature upscale amenities, state-of-the-art security systems and large amounts of air-conditioned storage. CitiTower welcomes you home to a rooftop pool, custom modern art installments and a spacious club lounge—all within walking distance to Publix Super Market, boutique shopping, acclaimed restaurants and nightlife.

Not sure if this has been discussed, but it's interesting that the rendering shows Lane Bryant and Waldenbooks. Even though Waldenbooks has closed, I wonder if they're aspiring for national retailers or if the graphics person was just having fun with the rendering. 

[jgardnerucf]

Ooooffff. Lane Bryant. So aspiring... LOL. The plus size demo would love, but c'mon man. He's joking obv.

[spenser1058]

Plus size dresses - this could be competition for the drag shop over on E. Washington. Do I spot the next trend after endless bars and 7-Elevens?

[alex]

Oh, I thought drag shops were only zoned for Mills Avenue...

Should be about four more floors.

[dcluley98]

Right now it is currently about even with the Paramount.  With 4 extra floors, the crown should be well above the Paramount building and visible from all the way around the lake. It will probably top out about the same height as the Waverly too.  Here is a photo from the atrium of Landmark 2 across the lake:

Taken on Thursday.

Excited for this one! What a huge impact to the area. I live down the block and it's going to add a ton to the neighborhood

From certain angles, downtown Orlando is beginning to resemble Miami.
