Downtown South (Sunrail/Amtrak, SODO, Orlando Health, Lymmo, Orange/Michigan Avenues)

[Jernigan]

Sodo NID has the first public viewing of the new SODO NID Marketing video on the agenda for their meeting today.  Let’s hope it gets online soon.  All the renderings!

If my bearings are correct SM&E let out a preview rendering of the Market @ Southside plaza turned into a mixed use development with a nice streetwall when they had the Curry Ford meeting.   They didn't mention it was Market @ Southside, but when I quickly got my bearings in the rendering, it felt like that was what they were showing.

Much better than what I was expecting. I had heard of the brewery, but had no idea they were also getting S&S and DaKine. Hope the pizza is place is of the same quality (please not Bruno).

MARKET. MARKET. MARKET.  THEY'RE CALLED MARKETS.  WE HAVE LIKE 4 OF THEM ALREADY.... THEY ALL HAVE MARKET IN THE NAME.

So. Over. This. Stupid. Food. Hall. Nomenclature.

It’s like everything used to be a “park” (Audubon, College, Baldwin, etc.) Now they have to be a “district” (Milk, Packing...)

Gotta give the marketing majors some job security!

As a Marketing major, I resent that!

When they were trying to name Curry Ford West during the initiation of that Main St program, I was very vocal that they needed to call it something else.   At the time they we're taking suggestions for names and Hourglass District wasn't ever mentioned.  I suggested Crystal Lake Heights but they settled on Curry Ford West as the official name.  Now we have confusion as the westernmost part of the district is commonly referred to Hourglass District.  I wonder if we're gonna see eventually that do what Downtown South did and change the name.

My money’s on this. The Hourglass Developers might have something to say about it, but it makes sense.

Damn hunger games brought forth the damn district jargon imo. It's tacky imo, just sayin.     ...grumbles as I type this lol...

The towering 6-story, edifice, storage building laughs at the puny, girly man storage units in the Milk District and Magnolia-50.

Some photos of the Ecco apartments and new retail additions at Lucky’s Corner.

PDQ time!

WHAT?  Where?  There?  Woo hoo!

[Jernigan]

Yep - outparcel.  You can see some equipment for it on the very right side of the apartment shot

Well you can dress her up but you can’t take her out...

Gah!! That signage looks so cheap! They should really make an effort to make the signage for each business look more cohesive.

[JFW657]

I think the whole reno looks kinda cheap.

I hope the building looks like this one....

I do love the heck outta that color scheme.

[AndyPok1]

Interesting.  I assume they're gonna close the one on Delaney then.  It's an upgrade to be sure, but... why is no one even attempting any mixed use or height along Orange!

Probably because there’s no room for the required parking.   There was a proposal for apartments with an automated garage on the 2100 block and I think the Wadeview neighbors protested it.  It’s now a Simon Medical Imaging.
