Ridgley Manor

[tm68]

The estimated 39 stories is confirmed. The architect is KBJ architects of Orlando. 440' is not confirmed.

each floor is 9 ft ceiling..see if u can figure out its heights.

Does anyone else find it odd that they are building the most "luxurious" condo project in Orlando in that location? I mean, the courthouse and the Travelodge don't exactly say "classy" like Lake Eola, or Park Avenue in Winter Park. I am, of course, happy for a large development of this size at that location, its desperately needed, but when exactly do these people plan on going public so we can get specifics?

You do know that they're just doing this to piss you off, don't you ?

[prahaboheme]

No, but luckily I have you to point that out.

[Dale]

This and Tradition Towers just have to be built, if only to counter the impression that Orlando was built by FBBarch.

[prahaboheme]

For real, and if they turn out architecturally superior, perhaps Orlando developers will take notice.

Like i said before, apparently KBJ architects have a scale model of Ridgley manor at thier S. Delaney office. Haven't seen it but i wonder if they would let me take a picture of it. I heard it is awesome. It is very detailed from what i hear (like The Vue's scale model) and you can see the street level in better detail.

Here are a few pictures of the building rendering and the proposed pool for Ridgely. I have a reservation for a unit in the Ridgely (Ridgely Manor not approved by the city). Ridgely is also supposedly the name of the developer's grandfather or something like that, hence the name.

At any rate, I have heard that it's a formal go from the city, and reservations are expected to go to contract in the next 45 to 60 days, with an additional 15 days to review docs.

Isn't that pool from Hearst Castle in San Simeon, California?

Indeed!

[Jaybee]

??? - Rumor has it that another developer has a piece of the Ridgely site under contract. Unbelievable that people are buying these places(signing reservation agreements) without the developer controlling the site.

[firemick]

Well whoever has the taller nicer more elaborate urban design should prevail! Money talks and %^$#%^&% walks.

Who wants to get together for the Ridgley Manor groundbreaking ?

It is supposed to break ground in August, right ?

[downtowninvestor]

they have not even gone to hard contract yet....i dont think this will be breaking ground any time soon

[Dale]

Right, I was j/k.

[downtowninvestor]

what are the prices like in ridgley manor? are they higher than paramount and tradition?

[prahaboheme]

ifs its gonna have faux-Rodins in the lobby, you bet its more than Paramount! Who wouldn't pay an extra 10-grand for something that classy?

[Sciber]

I'd love to see this ostentatious building come off the drawing board and actually break ground.....but somehow I don't think this will ever happen or at least not happen anytime soon (like in this decade).

Why not ?

[Dale]

Should it be construed as good news that Ridgely Manor's on the DDB's website ?

[prahaboheme]

Well, so is North Orange.

[cwetteland]

The DDB site usually stays about 6-9 months behind reality. It only dropped the Inverlad (one of the Ivanhoe Towers) a few months ago. IMHO, the DDB site is pretty clueless and thus worthless.

Ridgely is still on for now. They are working on a different design and land issues. So is North Orange

I hope the overall design doesn't change very much. From the conceptual art I've seen, I quite like it (Ridgely Manor).
