I really like the idea of natural patina for the "element"  also.  They could do a Corten Steel cladding for a ruddy orangeish/reddish finish  to complement the blue glass color that is similar to Phase I . 

I sure hope somebody at BB is reading these boards. (though probably not the way we bash them all the time, LOL).  Our opinions are wasted upon the internet. Hahaha. 

They certainly sound it sometimes, don't they....?

For those that can view it, an inside look of CSP1. The offices are complete and the first tenants (Hunton Brady and Truist) are in or in process. The office space is 90% leased.

They will now begin completing the 8 floors of 180 room hotel (AC by Marriott) and the 7500 feet of retail.

The photos outside mention a "potential" Sunrail station... I thought that was a done deal?

CSP2 is expected to break ground by summer and will include more office, more retail (smaller), 228 hotel rooms and... wait for it... roughly 60,000 feet of conference space.

The food hall in the Bumby Arcade is expected Q2 2020 (doubt it).

Sunrail Station was always dependent upon Phase II and buildout that is approved by SunRail to move it from South of  there. 

There was not enough footprint in CSP Phase I to fit the whole station  there.

Thanks. Was not aware of that. As someone in a car always trying to avoid Sunrail passengers running across South St. I sure hope this happens.

This really applies to CSP2, but I don't think we have that thread yet. I guess it could also go under Church St or Restaurants thread... I guess I can cross post it. Mark B has some info on the new food hall going into the Bumby Arcade. Lincoln says they have 50% letters of commitment already out of the 15 food, 3 bar, 1 full serve restaurants planned. No word on who those are. Lots of other details here- https://www.thedailycity.com/post/orlando-food-hall-bumby

Still no Mention of Hamburger Mary's.  Hmm

Does anyone know what the crown's lighting will be like on this one? (Yes - I know - it's been something I've been bringing up lately). 

[codypet]

Aren't there supposed to be more screens going up?

[dcluley98]

That's what I assumed JRS2 was pointing out. Final rendering had screen there with the logo of the OCSC  lion.

Truist bank has released their new branding/logo. . .  And it's PURPLE!  (although darker than the soccer team's purple)

https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/business/banking/article239179823.html

Look for new signage and probably some Purple lights in the future. 

Here's the Logo.  I think it is actually really, really well done from a graphic standpoint. The name itself I thought was kinda bland but with this new logo/branding it is kinda growing on me. 

 

Here's a pic from the Charlotte Forum showing their headquarters building lit up in purple:

Took me forever to see the logo as a T instead of 2 Hs.

It has all the dynamism of a funeral home.

Looks like some kind of peripheral device plug-in port for a computer or some other electronic thing-a-ma-jig. 

[spenser1058]

I had hoped the logo would rescue the name but that’s a non-starter, eh? Thankfully, I’m still with the colorful, friendly-looking folks at Discover.

funny, b/c the northern wall has no screens-probably b/c the second tower will connect on those parking levels.  a guest from Chicago saw it and thought it was still u/c because of that.

drive by and walk by photos today.    Tell me what is happening to the Orchid Garden hopefully that building will be reused for something new.  Great for another restaurant or event space. Great looking building. 

My thoughts on this building.  the side that face I-4  I like not sure on that side facing the tracks.  There is a whole lot going on this building design wise.  

[codypet]

The ballroom is indeed coming down to make room for Phase II of this building.

They are supposedly re-using the glass atrium  skylight for  the Courtyard  of the CityArts complex at the historic Rogers-Kiene Building.  (as somebody posted on another thread-can't remember who or which)

I wonder if they plan to give Ph2 companies who signed leases (they claim 90% leased) a discount on the side where Ph3 will be built. Most  serious companies sign a 5 year lease. If it were me, i'd negotiate it... but who knows. Gonna be lot of noise there for them.

Here’s an interesting use for the Cheyenne Saloon - Opera!

I thought Phase III was the food hall?

Same here.

Spenser made a remark about The Exchange getting demo'd for phase 3, but I assumed he was just joking.

I was indeed. I can't keep up with all the phases of this thing - it's like the Monster That Ate Church Street...

I think they should turn it into a western themed saloon style bar.

Maybe have live, big name country music acts perform there.

I bet it would even be a good place to tape a music themed cable TV show from. 

Just a few ideas.
