Yup that sounds the brick/stone  siding going on.   It's going to look great soon.

So, is the Earthfare going in at Gore & Orange, and if so, are there residential units going in on top of that commercial space?

[jrs2]

I answered my own question.  It looks like Earthfare is in fact going at Gore & Orange, and that they plan to stack residential on top of it, about 5 levels of it:

That's so Kuhl Man!

The original plan...

[jrs2]

I think members of the DDB and City etc really need to go to other cities where redevelopment has occurred and gage what they're doing against plans and designs they are considering to approve or change here.  If they are already doing it, then they need to do more of it.

Like matching colors of prefab bricks to real bricks.

Snapped these driving by today. These units will be above the Earth Fare, I believe.

Drove by earlier this week, growth is looking good! Maybe change the title from proposed to under construction? I was confused lol.

Except those non matching bricks...

I like it too though, they're fast. (Smoked the college park crew for all their 2x4's)

What's going on with the facade of this place?

It's all just a facade.

[RedStar25]

Well, the East Side looks like its been totally whitewashed (?).  

Is it going to be back to a brick finish like the Western building?

Based on the renderings, that part of the project will stay whitewashed:

[JFW657]

Looks more light grey than whitewashed.

Personally, I'm OK with that. 

Adds some interest over an all red brick finish.

 

[RedStar25]

That wasn't the original rendering. 

I kinda hate how it looks now. I'm getting sick of all white and gray buildings. 

I drove past it this morning. Without the brick facade on Orange it just vanishes.  The garage facade should have continued around the rest of the building.

The revised mixed-use project is out... http://www.cityoforlando.net/city-planning/wp-content/uploads/sites/27/2016/04/ARB2015-00060report.pdf ... Now sponsored by Crescent Communities... and apparently to be done in phases.  While I'm sad the high-rise appears to be tabled for a while, I think that that corner will look vastly better with this on it, and could *MAYBE* start the connection of CBD to SODO.  Also, the over the top ARB staff gushing comments are pretty amusing.

That part of the building has always been white, at least as far back as the 2016 rendering, above (far right of photo). The rest of the buildings will be mostly brick. Updated rendering of the above:

The whitewashed façade and the mix of brick and white accents look sophisticated, but not as severe as continuous dark brick. I would love to see more of this style in the CBD or Parramore to tie into our historic downtown streets.
