Citi Tower | 23-Story Residential [Under Construction]

[FLClarkKent]

Where do you suggest it go up? I can't think of where you're referencing. I like the location of this project. Right now it's a dirt parking lot and should go a long way in leading the development between central and south street.

 

Central is pretty dense as-is. Glad to see development moving southward with this project, the brownstone development, and Artisan 420.

it may have some visibility from certain areas of Lake Eola Park - as STAR tower is in skyline view when you are walking around the north side of the park.

I said I wish it could've gone up there.

 

IOW, had there been an open spot for it.

 

Like had this spot been available maybe....

 

 

I'd rather see THAT ^...

 

 

 where THIS ^ is going... 

 

...and THAT ^ going right on Central.

 

JMHO.

True, but I just think Citi Tower is such a nice looking design, that I wish it could go where it could be seen from the ground up & appreciated from a greater distance.

 

And of course in a more open & high profile location.

 

This building looks better than anything currently on Central which is kind of a waste. 

 

IMO.

I think that it says alot that it's going up on Pine St instead; it kind of brings more value to the Pine St. corridor; it continues what 101 Eola, Eola South, Sanctuary, and the backs of the rest of the row of Central Ave buildings have already brought to the table- design-wise and density-wise.

It appears that the foundation and construction fence permits have been issued.  Hopefully, I'll see some activity over there when I walk by later today.

[jrs2]

^^

what's the customary timetable for breaking ground after these permits have been issued?

[jack]

Could be up to three weeks. Maybe more. 

[jrs2]

ok.  so this will probably break ground before the Magic entertainment complex I assume barring other issues.

[jack]

Look for the groundbreaking permit and the Notice to proceed. That will tell you a lot. 

[GRS328]

No construction financing in place as of yet. 

[jrs2]

^^

well...now that's the real trick, isn't it.

[gibby]

Construction fence went up today.

[jrs2]

well, that says something, right?

[jgardnerucf]

Property liability with parking and bums peeing.

[jrs2]

oh...

[HankStrong]

yeah!

[jrs2]

the fence is up; just a fence; not covered or anything like a construction fence with green or other colored tarp.

[gibby]

No activity so far, sadly.

[jrs2]

I'm not surprised.  I say wait until Artisan 420 gets topped off first.

[GRS328]

I'm not a betting person, but I'd be more than comfortable putting money down that Citi Tower doesn't happen.  At least not in it's current form.  

[jack]

I would not take that bet either. 

[jrs2]

^^

wow.  I never put much thought into that (it's current form)

[prahaboheme]

Why not in it's current form?

[JFW657]

Why not in it's current form?

I'm guessing because like most everything else that ends up getting built around here, it will end up being cut down to about 6 or 8 stories.

And looking like a shoebox.

Probably a white & grey one.
