so this will be taller than CitiTower...by a bit...it's gonna look sharp

And the cool thing is CitiTower is still visible from I-4 despite being shorter than Society Tower and being a good distance away in the back. I think Society Tower will have quite a presence when you drive past it on I-4 that we won't fully appreciate until it's completed.

This should help to enhance the emerging street wall and canyon-like effect on Livingston street that now terminates with Radius and the new hotel. 
 

A few infill developments, notably at Orange / Livingston would really pull together this corridor.

This is gonna look a bit odd if phase 2 doesn't end up getting built. That's an ENORMOUS base. Also, for the sake of my OCD, I hope they upscale phase 2 to an even 20 floors.

I was wishing we would get these as twins as far as height. But I'd be okay getting ANYTHING taller than Central Station

Where? it runs one block parallel to Rosalind on Magnolia already. Magnolia has dedicated bus lanes and light control.

Have it U-turn in the retail plaza

This morning

I assumed so the NQ bus doesn't have to jump onto Livingston for that half a block.  Seems like a lot of work for just that route.

isn't that view from the Lynx building?

If you go back a page, there is a post with the updated project I believe. Society Orlando.

New article on Society Orlando progress with tons of new construction pictures:

Quote

Recent photos show the state of construction at the site. The structural concrete columns that are to eventually span the entire ground floor level are still being assembled. The section of the structure that’s made the most progress is on the northwest corner of North Orange Avenue and West Livingston Street, where the south tower of 28 stories is planned. Several columns have been poured in and hardened, and metal supports have been erected all around the base of the south tower in preparation for the mezzanine level.

I think it's worth mentioning that it appears they may be accelerating the construction of the two towers as they're pouring the concrete core for the 17-story tower now. Phase I & II might not be very far apart after all.

Did the scale this down?  Isn't the big tower in the mid-20's as far as floor height?

Yeah, that was just in reference to the second tower. There's the 28-story south tower (phase I) and the 17-story north tower (phase II).

The article points out that they're starting to pour the concrete core for the 17-story tower already, suggesting the time gap between the two phases being completed possibly won't be large.

The article is correct. I couldn't snap a picture of it but it's definitely true.

I love all of the cranes!

[IAmFloridaBorn]

Based on the revision, the first phase hould come up to about the second step down of the old Bank of America building

Here are some photos from this morning!

this shot is so unique...perhaps the first time ever this kind of bulk was across the street from former BOA...

I must have been sleeping looking at these pictures because I just now noticed the 3 tower cranes.

Would be a great corner for a highly visible restaurant or retail outlet.

I just drove Livingston last night EB rather slowly and the sheer bulk of this project is impressive.   To think that most of it's length is going vertical is going to create an urban canyon.  it will be very cool.
