I have the habit of still calling this thing Tremont Tower but here are some images of Church Street Plaza

Given all the names this thing has had so far, I think any confusion is understandable.

SunTrust Plaza at Church Street Station, at least this week. Stay tuned...

. . . and don't forget the Hotel Names!  AC Hotel by Marriott in SunTrust Plaza at Church Street Station.

 

Maybe they could add a Camping World to it. 

Spenser beat me to it!

Dang, IAmFloridaborn, that photo expose you did on CSP (my name for it) was like not only capturing the dreaded Komodo Dragon, but then dissecting it, dismembering it, then cloning it, then unleashing a hybrid of it onto Japan to wreak havoc.  Your photo spreads make mine look like some second grader's at show and tell.

Haha I see the angles and go and get them.

I have a question.

 

So they are now on floor 10 of the parking garage and the building looks to be just over 100ft.

Being that this is going to be 28 stories, how are the measurements of office | hotel| parking garage| heights set up in a mixed use project?

Is there a rule of thumb followed like all office or all residential?

Re: floor to floor height of garages - "Considering vertical circulation of floor to floor heights, these typically range from 10'0” to 12'0”. According to code, minimum required clearances are 8'2” for van accessible parking, and 7'0” for regular and other accessible spaces."

As for the hotel and office floor heights, here's a height calculator....

http://www.ctbuh.org/TallBuildings/HeightStatistics/HeightCalculator/tabid/1007/language/en-US/Default.aspx

...but I think a good general rule of thumb is for hotel and residential buildings it's 10'. For commercial office buildings it's a bit more, possibly 12'.

Going to definitely try and get some better photos tomorrow. Will have more time.

What's that area with all the cars parked on the unmowed grass? Is it like that because of I-4 Ultimate construction or just neglect? Doesn't seem like the kind of first impression that should be made when people get off the exit to downtown Orlando.

Maybe they can't mow it because the cars parked there are in the way.

It's the staging for workers actually building it. It should be mowed, but with all the rain lately probably outgrew their schedule.

Can they build on that parcel?

[dcluley98]

I have absolutely no idea. Probably a wetlands mitigation for most of the area, so I doubt it. You could look it up on the county land-use zoning website probably.

Given that those cars probably belong to the construction workers building Church Street Plaza or whatever it's called now, that might be a tad inconvenient.

Pretty sure it's a retention pond.

SunTrust Plaza at Church Street Station! (if we keep typing it, we'll memorize it just in time for it to change again *sigh*.)
