Millenia Parc

FYI, have found out that the developer went bankrupt and the property was taken over by the bank, so who knows what the future will hold for the commercial area of Millennium Parc.

The building at Livingston and Magnolia has just been demolished. Any idea what is next?

I see it is for sale/lease and approved for up to 200 units per the sign out front. I don't know why they demolished the building unless something was pending. I hope for the sake of my neighbors on the North side of the Vue, it's not too tall.

Are you referring to the small white building with green trim?

That lot has had a lot of proposals over the years, some impressive. I imagine the owner is just clearing the lot to make it more attractive to a potential buyer (could be wrong).

I was told that the upper levels- you can't hear much. I was at the DOP last night on their pool deck with tours of the building. I went to the 22nd floor 1,400 sq ft unit; it was nice; it was up there; can't hear a whole lot from there with the window open; definitely not with the windows closed (sliding doors to the balcony I should say).

the pool deck is on the 14th floor per the elevator. it's a nice building; nice pool deck; nice units; it's a neat forum for events that pool deck is. But I think Dynetech's lofty perch on the 30th, Stirling Sotherby's on the 16th floor penthouse, the Plaza's 11th floor deck, The Vue's pooldeck, and Star's 18th floor rooftop pool deck are the other "venue" hot spots that I would make sure if I was a small meeting planner, would rent out to give the maximum "effect" to patrons.

The new Westin Orlando North in Lake Mary will has 253 rooms, a Shula's 347 Grille, and will open on Nov. 22, 2009. It's on 46A near Colonial Towne Park in Lake Mary/Sanford.

That makes two heavy hitter hotel brands in northern Seminole County. I think that's pretty healthy for CFLA, and speaks volumes for Heathrow and Seminole County as a whole business-wise. It makes Orlando more diversified ala business travelers.

The Target Center in downtown Minneapolis has an NBA City restaurant. Minneapolis is a great city, but not a tourist attraction area.

I could see a D&B going into downtown Orlando. You would have visibility from the highway, and incredible foot traffic.

Adding a Fox Sports Grill would be a good addition:

Especially since a majority of the magic games are on Fox Sports Florida and Fox owned Sun Sports. They could do their post game reports from the restaurant and bar. Fox Sports Grill also has more of a nightclub vibe and upscale dining that is more in-line with downtown Orlando.

I'm thinking GOAA needs to widen the Arrivals entrance ramp on A & B sides at OIA. It will be hard to do. Once you are on final approach, if you stay right you go to Departures, middle, Arrivals, left, Rent-A-Car and parking. They need to widen it at least one lane going in and going out b/c when leaving Arrivals, the two thru lanes taper back to one exit lane and traffic bottlenecks. Not good.

THE SQUARE:

Unicorp is the developer. They are the company developing the Dellagio project off of SLR. There a a few tenants over there already and there's a few more buildouts underway. I have a feeling they won't do anything with the former Mercado property for a while until they have a majority of the Dellagio leased. That must have been a huge expenditure; that place is gorgeous.

Thanks for the info. Its sad to see go projects go nowhere because of what happened in the economy 07-09 smh

In all honesty, it's what happened before that. i.e. massive value increases from 2003-2006 while you could always move further out when gas prices were cheap.

This already dying forum has been pushed over the edge.

We should revive the orlandoskyscrapers.com page with a forum option similar to wirednewyork.com or archboston.com.

actually, this new format does suck now that I think about it.

if they would just bold the text, that would be better.

Pages load slower, each post in a thread is hard to differentiate, there is a serious lack of design hierarchy, and, I've just discovered, there is no longer a quick reply button!

anyone else experiencing slow loading of pages here? I hate when change means moving backwards.
