the footprint of that pool looks pretty big compared to the Hilton's pool.

That will be one fun spot to hang out on the 4th of July.

Party at the pool all day then watch the fireworks with all your neighbors at night.

And never have to leave home or even get in your car.

Final pool pour.

I've done that with my friends at Skyhouse past few years.  Can confirm, quite enjoyable.

Anyone think it should be open or close to it by the end of September or sometime in October?

@JFW657I give it until the end of the year to start taking residents.

I think my question should have been "Does anyone think the exterior will be complete and construction fences down by the end of September or sometime in October?" As that was what I am actually wondering.

that's hard to say b/c the perimeter around the east side isn't finished yet and I don't recall how the base on that side around the corner integrates to the south and western edges (and north)...

On a separate note, we will have big news coming RE Radius' retail that I am sure you all will like.

Must you continue to tease?

if it's "big news" then it's gotta be more than just another coffee shop.

wait a minute... maybe a Foxtail Coffee and/or a 4R...?

if it's big news it's got to be something(s) that people already love... a chain restaurant?  Cheesecake Factory?

Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen?

Some shots I got earlier this week. Nothing new to see as far as the building itself.

What's with the back, east facing wall of the hotel?

It looks like they've covered it with some sort of black material.

A few pics from today....

Too hot for a plaza to have palm trees instead of shade trees, but great pics.

Maybe they'll put up some kind of shade structures.

[dcluley98]

It's kinda it's own little pocket park that they created in between here and Skyhouse. So the shade effect of the buildings will allow it to stay cool for a large part of the day. I assume they went with palms vs. deciduous trees for the maintenance factor, acknowledging that this will be a "lived-in" plaza area that will need to stay clean.

I wonder how much shade it will get during the middle (and hottest) part of the day when the sun is directly overhead.

In this pic, it looks like it's a bit later in the afternoon and maybe a bit later in the year, with the sun beginning to move more south.

But the long shadow of Sky House is falling well north of the Radius plaza, with the SH parking garage shadow just touching the edge along Magnolia.

At any rate, I would hope they have something in mind to address that issue.

Otherwise, that will be a dead and empty place during the day and for much of the year.

While palms are nice to look at, they do nothing to address the issues with climate and weather in central Florida. 
 

If it needs to be decorative I’m partial to cypress trees.

In one of the earlier streetscape projects on Orange Ave., Mayor Carl did palm trees. It was a mess. The city rejoiced when the deciduous trees returned in Mayor Bill’s 1980’s Streetscape. For the life of me, I don’t get why we feel the need to keep repeating past errors. Hubris, I suppose.

Nothing stopping them from putting up shade structures.

Umbrellas, small canopies, etc.
