Wow. Really moving along on this!!! 

[smileguy]

Here are some photos taken yesterday, 4/16.

A view of the garage from the north end where Alden Rd now turns left when approaching from Princeton. 

Garage looking northwest at Midway Dr. - you can see work on the apartments beginning in the foreground.

 

 

Same location at Midway, but this time looking Southwest. 

 

The next construction gate to the south. This is the backside of those same buildings, and the silos are just out of frame to the left.

Is this entire project being built in a single phase?

I must have missed this when initially posted. This sucker is really going to loom over those single story commercial buildings on Orange.

I know someone on the MPB.  Seeing this thing tower Ivanhoe from my office, I asked him how he felt about the Yard.  He said he felt it looks bigger than he initially thought it was going to be.

Plus there's a fairly steep slope going up behind these buildings to the train tracks and into the development, visually adding another story to the project. It should look less looming once the buildings around it are completed and the garage is lined with apartments articulated by windows and balconies.

I personally love how tall The Yard is and how it—along with Mills Park to the east—bookends Virginia. Should be a big catalyst for the area...and will hopefully prompt a Lymmo expansion soon.

I remember that we have a train that go from downtown to FH.

Virginia might be the best street in Orlando. Mills overshadows it but Virginia definitely has better stuff to do on it.

If one doesnt like beer/alcohol and tacos, what is there to do in Virginia?

Buy flags, meat, hippie stuff, get your hair done, nails done, do glass art, work at a creative agency, meet with your union brothers and sisters, do yoga, visit a financial advisor, buy a car, get your clothes drycleaned,  buy midmod furniture, plan a function,  eat great food, share shop space and tools, and attend theatre/cabaret/burlesque/concerts to name a few things.

And sing, "Look for the Union Label" at the IBEW although I think they're moving.

What NOT to do on Virginia Drive (as a New England Patriots fan):  step foot inside the Hideaway Bar!

You left out slurpees and pumping premium gas.

A person such as the one you mention needs to learn that beer & tacos are two of the best things in this life.

And burgers - don't forget burgers!  (Part III of the Sunshine Orlando Trifecta!)

LOL....   so it is like sipping coffee at Starbucks...buying pottery at Pottery Barn...shopping for cookware at William .... eating my french crossia...while looking at Tiffany Lamps collection...

joking aside, I dont mind an ale house at The Yard, maybe it will help drive down the price of the tapas and tacos in Virginia.

[HankStrong]

Don't you worry.  An Ale House will drive everything down and that's almost certain.

I'm actually a bit surprised that there isn't an Ale House within the downtown limits.

Perhaps World of Beer has that "market" cornered.

Colonial Plaza is pretty close. I actually visit the one in Winter Park pretty much every Thursday (Prime Rib night). Let's be honest, Ale House would probably be more popular than many of the current restaurants (I'm looking at you Firebirds). 

Does The Yard have any restaurant spaces in it?

I continue to be impressed by how busy WOB is - it's certainly very different from anything else in that space over the last 50 years I've paid attention.

Downtown needs some chain restaurants. Glad everybody agreed. Throw in a chipotle for those poor students...and me

I hit the E Colonial Ale House often.  Most of the management moved over from the Waterford one.   Its usually packed.  Better than Firebirds which always seems to be empty despite its awesome Prime Rib.

Despite the sewage smell.
