This building is stunning.... the glass is beautifull. I love how it changes Colors with the sky.

Haven't heard any "saddlebag" jokes lately.

I was hoping that the great weather from this past weekend would have inspired you to get out and get a photo update. ^^ Awesome shots, Tim, as always! This is one impressive building.

Anyone have the specs on psf construction costs?

^ i'd much prefer art over huge billboards. Just b/c big cities like New York are all corporatized doesn't mean orlando has to do the same. Public art will give downtown just as much character, & make it unique

To the penny

I would go for the ad revenue personally. I think they probably switched it out because the demand for ad space doesn't justify the price of tacking on a Jumbotron to the consturction costs. Didn't Kuhn have the same idea? They really are hard to pull off outside of a dense place like NYC. Besides it's actually a law that all buildings in Times Square have to have illuminated signs 24 Hours as day. It wasn't an accident.

the lot between Regions (copper whopper) and Dynetech along Washington needs a Dynetech-esque tower. It would frame the History Center and park nicely with the Library to the east, and Plaza/Central/Pine corridor to the South. it would be a mini park-looking scene, b/c right now, the back of Amsouth looks like... the back of Amsouth (Regions, I mean).

You don't want to saturate one area with too many tall buildings. A mid rise would be just fine there. Something to create infill. Something that would go right to the sidewalk. ... 6-9 stories would sound about right. That way you're not blocking the copper whopper or dynetech really from any angle, foot traffic along Magnolia would increase, and that lot is filled all around the property line.

Any chance, I could get a look at 'em old buddy?

Isn't the crane supposed to come down this weekend?

[Go Gators]

Dynetech is on fire, literally. Not sure on details, but heard it on the radio. You can somewhat see it on WESH webcam.

Here is a snap of the smoke coming out the top. Also the crane is coming down this morning.

[bulldogger]

They are just trying to be like The Plaza.

"The roof! The roof!..."

[slapdash09]

I hope no one was seriously injured. My friend at Dynetech says she doesn't think this will hold them up from moving in because they are on floors 13-16 and that was on floor 30. They are going to be moving in before the finish they top anyway.

Pretty soon it will be new code that any B&G project will need to have the fire dept permanently on site 24/7...

So where is the spire for this building?
