Orlando City Place

[Jaybee]

Actually I stick them in my pants :-P. Hard to believe that something from the board here has ended up on TV.

[bic]

Not that hard to believe...we probably do most of the reporters' and journalists' homework for them, taking leads from the boards, gathering more information, and developing a story.

[bobliocatt]

I don't know if anyone else has wondered about this, but why keep the old Holiday Inn building? It looks pretty weird sitting in the middle of all those big towers. All of the hotel room views would face service alleys and parking garages.

[Jaybee]

FYI: News 13 is now reporting the Orlando City Place project on their 24-hour news channel. Nothing new to report, but Frank Billingsly is interviewed, and the ubiquitous renderings with the "crease" are on yet another channel.

[firemick]

Are there any renderings available without the creases in them? Also I would like to know more about this "Central Spine" in downtown? Is this more of a visionary statement or does somebody know something we all want to know? I am still waiting on word of Palm Beach Land Trust's plans for old Pizutti lot. Kodsi's "Main and Main" proposal, and if EA Games is going to relocate and obviously more on Orlando City Place?

I'm convinced that they're going to build this thing with a crease down the middle.

[firemick]

^ Does anybody have an idea which plan they are gonna go with. I am partial to the "SMOG" plan but i know Jaybee said that this plan has morphed several times in the last month. Plan B is not at all bad with a 3,8,14,15,22,25 and 30 story buildings planned. But i think i would rather see the 38 story building at the corner versus the 30 story in plan B and the 40 and 45 story buildings versus the 22 and 25 story buildings in plan B.

Has anyone noticed that they took down the holiday inn sign on the building? Progress is moving in some form and it hasnt even gone through the MPB yet.

[cwetteland]

It should be before the MPB in 4 weeks per the August case list.

Hasn't the Holiday Inn sign been down for quite some time? At least since it was branded 'Best Value Inn' or whatever it's cuurently called...

Is this one of the project that Buddy want to use the money to rebuild the arena?

[Jaybee]

New concept for City Place. It's evolving...

[amato407]

Where did this come from.....S.M.O.G.!!!!!!!

[sunshine]

They are gonna build a replica of the existing Best Value?

[Tim3167]

My first reaction is to chuckle because I can just imagine the chatter this new concept is going to cause.

To me it looks like a massing model for Metropolis in the next Superman movie. I'll hold my excitement on this until plans become a bit more concrete.

[Go Gators]

All I want to know is where is the crease?

SMOG II

or Son of SMOG

[tm68]

This is on the case list for the August MPB. What plan are they going to show the board; SMOG, Plan B, SMOG II or just the hotel referb?

[bic]

I like how this new plan wouldn't allow sunlight to reach the streets at the center of the development in the afternoon.

[bic]

Jaybee, any new information regarding Orlando City Place, Millenia Office/Residential, or the Keeping it Real Barbershop from today's MPB meeting?

[Jaybee]

Millenia Office waz approved without a hitch. Orlando City Place has a new massing model posted above...

[UPSDAN]

I don't know what to think about this. I have a feeling the final design will look drastically different.....

[F-L-A]

That is one of the weirdest things I've ever seen. I liked the old plan better, personally.
