Orlando City Place

[Dale]

I like these guys and the way they're reaching out to the neighborhood. I'm pulling for them, much more so than 400 N. Orange.

So 240k for 500 sq ft in Orlando is affordable now?

[sunshine]

500 SQFT, I would say about 120K is afforable.

plasma screen, wardrobe rack for all your clothes, futon for a bed and couch... does that 500sf include or not include the structural column?

The residential section of the City Place complex would be made up of a 46-story, 600-unit tower that would be flanked by two, 35-story buildings.

The March MPB Agenda states that the City Place proposal would consist of the existing 14-story hotel, one 45-story residential building, two 38-story residential buildings, one 14-story office building, and one 7-story office, retail, and spa building.

wow, that 1 project would be bigger than all of downtown orlando combined.

[RedStar25]

If this project comes through and sucseeds, Orlando, I belive will be on its way to being Fla Second Skyline City.

What is the final floor count & height of the tallest 3 buildings and did they get a determination of no hazard permit from the FAA?

I'm not sure I want to know.

It says in this morning's Sentinel that the plans for Orlando CityPlace were approved yesterday by the City Council.

^ Wow. It looks like the city wants to force this one through to get built. It seems to be getting lots of special treatment.

probably because its the first major development on the West side of I-4.

[jnorlando]

it's no big deal or anything, but i saw that cityplace asks if one of your referrals is from the ny times, wall street journal or usa today on its website. is it common for developers to introduce projects/test marketability through these papers?

[UPSDAN]

Does anyone have a picture of the work on the Lexington? It looks a ton better then the old Holiday Inn look.

[Magicfan95]

I was told by a good friend that this development is struggling to sell. Odds are it won't happen as planned...if at all.

[Tim3167]

Damn! .

I know I'll get flamed for mentioning this but I was really hoping for a new tallest!

I'll try this afternoon. I drove by yesterday and it's mostly done, only about a 1/4 of the facade still have scaffolding up.

I think a lot of the problem is what's around it. Seriously, drive past it at night. Not too appealing. If they would level the buildings around it, then maybe it would reduce the riff raff at it's base and sell better. Other than that, it looks a hell of a lot better. I would love to see the project come to full fruition.

Who would have guessed?

[radiostatic102]

Oh well, you can't have everything. And it was in an unappealing part of town, too. Can't deny that.

At least the existing building's going to look 100% better! It looked soooooo bad before.

[wally2169]

Don't lose faith just yet

[JRS1]

what's having trouble selling, the Lexington or the new units in Orlando City Place? the reason I ask is b/c I didn't know there wa a sales center for the 3 big towers yet.
