Citi Tower | 23-Story Residential [Under Construction]

[RedStar25]

This building is turning out nicer/taller than most of us thought.

That visor thing on the roof kind of visually stretches the appearance of the height.

I wish they had raised the visor on the Solaire up above the roof like that. Would've made that building look a bit taller and less trunctuated.

Not really, I think a lot of us really liked the design from the beginning.  I think it looks great and always thought the design concept looked great before it came out of the ground!  I remember pointing out that the crown would be taller than the Paramount and that it would be about as tall as the Waverly and fill the gap between them from a certain angle of Lake Eola.

Here's that angle now:

How does the rest of it look? 

[HankStrong]

Utterly horrible.

It isn't finished yet. You can't be so quick to judge. Several critics on here have openly said the liked the rendering of the finished project. So, why are they judging it before it's even done? Sounds like children stomping their feet.

It is most certainly taller than any of the neighboring buildings. That is very noticeable from the 408 (east and west), I-4, and even the Dr. Philips Center.

Who is doing that?

Who/what are you referring to?

[RedStar25]

Am I missing something? I just read your response to something I wrote. and then, "...get lipstick on that pig.", or "utterly horrible".  

 

 

[dcluley98]

Huh?  I was saying I think it has turned out great so far, RedStar-I agree with you.  I really liked it from the beginning all the way until now when it is topped out and taller than the Paramount in front of it.  Not understanding the constant negativity surrounding new projects. I thought the renderings looked great, the location looked great, and the design/lighting looked great before, and I still think it looks great now that it is topped out.  Hopefully, I still think it looks great when it is done and occupied.

Yes, you're missing something.

Google the words "humor" and "facetiousness".

It's been a long day.

Citi Tower is taller than both of those buildings.

Citi Tower - 293 feet

The Waverly - 280 feet

The Paramount - 204 feet

I just hope they don't put a transformer in the sidewalk that can NEVER, EVER, EVER be removed.

After all the fuss that was made here about 420, the solution that they came up with to overcome that issue is, I'll be the first to say, ingenious. They still had to include the bypass for ADA compliance, but I think everyone here will agree that the transformers-with-Japanese-footbridge have really become a landmark; a permanent and lasting part of the fabric of our fair city. and should never be removed.

I think the fact it complements the T'ing at Eola (which is. of course, Chinese) emphasizes our desire for unity as a community!
