The layer will look better with Eola Place behind it.

That second picture is awesome. It really captures the charm of this part of town with some of those older houses.

Though something really needs to happen to the 7-11 just to the right of this picture...

[JRS1]

great photos. yes, that 7-11 sucks. 101 is steadily moving along.

The Developers of Thornton Park Central Offerd to the owners of the 7-11 to build or renovate that building. But the Owners declined the offer.

I thought Eola Place was put on hold and all deposits refunded?

[sunshine]

Is 102 on hold?

that sucks, didnt know that. why the hell not! nothing wrong with having a 7-11 there, but for gods sake it sticks out like a sore thumb. It really wouldnt take much to renovate the outside appearance.

If you are saying that the developers offered to pay in full for the renovations, then the owner of 7-11 has to be the biggest idiot to walk the face of this planet.

Not at all.... they do a killing just as they are... think about the amount of business they would have lost due to a rebuild or renovation.

Also, wouldn't property tax have likely increased after a renovation?

Can't the city require a renovation at some point? the place does look like an absolute s-hole, after all.

And the cost to bring it up to the City's design standards would have been very high

Not until they expand or renovate something else inside.

I believe that Eola Place was cancelled.

[RedStar25]

Who ever said Eola Place was Cancelled?

The ground breaking was in December.

[orlandonative]

Eola Place condos = dead

Eola Place apartments = slowly falling by the wayside.

[JRS1]

the demolition deal was such bull. I can't believe they demoed all of those bldgs.

[RedStar25]

Just like the when developers mowed down uptown in the 1980s

there was also an office bldg. on Orange north of Colonial that was demoed in the late '90's. it looked like a govt. bldg.; like it was clad in soapstone or grey marble or something. it was like 3-4 stories or taller. it became a parking lot. Anyone know what bldg. this was?
