Peak-A-Boo! At least from this view looking West in regards to the shorter out buildings of the courthouse.

...and that is the major reason why Firestone looked like it was an island...nothing to speak of across the street...

I’ve always wanted Firestone to open up earlier as a restaurant / bar.  That probably isn’t possible however it would go a long way to bring a little something to that part of Orange.

Yeah, and too bad Camden couldn’t keep retailers on the ground floor and converted those units to residential.  Not “ripe” enough I guess.

A poverty of imagination!  That space inside is too voluminous for a single restaurant or bar.  I'd love to see wraparound development of the lots behind Firestone, to build a counterpoint to the crap further south.  Maybe a midrise apartment building with design riffs on the Firestone Neoclassical design, with a landscaped promenade along Concord.  Subdivide the Firestone building into 3 separate restaurant/cafe spaces.   A  mini-Wynwood, if you will.    I'm patiently waiting for the kickoff of "Midtown Orlando" nearby by the Midtown Miami developer on the Sentinel properties.  If it's anything like what has been done in Miami, it will drastically change the entry gate and center of gravity for Downtown.

Midtown Miami as in that power center with the Target and the Marshalls?  If that's the plan, it was absolutely what I thought could go there.   Even if that meant Marshalls and some other stores leaving Colonial Plaza, it would make that land primed for the apartments that they want to build there.

The Sentinel property would definitely be a great location for a large retail chain store and well known chain restaurants.

Or possibly some type of multi level mall or something akin to Sodo or WP Village, but with somewhat taller residential.   

And adequate parking garages obviously.

Some close ups of the base since being painted.

Didn't they do the pilings for the entire project at the beginning? 

As for the rest, it seems like they'd have had to take down and move the tower cranes anyway. 

I dunno.

I'm no expert on the subject. 

that is a very good question...

Mmmm yea.

It would have looked better if they could've oriented those two towers with the long sides running  north and south.

Short tower on the Orange Ave side and the taller one on the I-4 side. 

But I guess they were taking the sun's path into account.
