Orange & Robinson Apartments | 11-story residential [Under Construction]

This needs a visor in a big way.

You know this project's bad when you're questioning wether it's better than a vacant lot.

D'awwww,  I think the teeny tiny visor is cute!  Hopefully it will grow up big and strong like the other visors.

Visor envy?

Or a case of Small Visor Syndrome?

I remember working in the Copper Whopper back in ‘87 after The First, FA building first opened, the late afternoon glare was a killer.

I can't figure out if this has retail or not. Someone told me it did, but when I skimmed through this thread it looks like people were saying there is only one retail space on the entire ground floor. Which is correct?

I’m sure Thomas Chatmon has talked to the developer about the requisite 7-Eleven since that corner doesn’t have one and we’ll be down one now that OLT is getting close to their goal for Eola’s western gateway.

This thing is ugly.

Orlando can do better.

This is the one I went to the MPB to protest.  What was approved was one retail space on the northeast corner.  The southeast corner (LITERALLY AT THE MAJOR INTERSECTION) is going to be a resident-only coffee shop or gym or something just like Post Parkside.  It still makes my blood boil.

Still not back in the office but I was nearby yesterday to run a couple of errands. Quite a difference from my last photo on March 5th!

Will be very interested to see the inside of that courtyard.

Looks like a prison. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'd rather have a vacant lot there than this.

[cwetteland]

Looks like every other parking garage in town.   They all look like prisons, especially from the back.  But then again, who'd want an apartment facing the massive chillers.   Lets see how the apartment units look from the front when they're finished, with color, windows, balcony rails, etc..  I wasn't so impressed with lake house early on, but now with all the trim and color,  I'm alright with it.

I really like the Lake House . 

I am not really impressed by the aesthetic design of this building, particularly the boxy nature and garage side that faces I-4 , and the lack of GF activation.

I  am still impriseed by FinFrock  ability to find actionable developers and speed to market with their pre-fab system. 

The results are there. . . 

WAY better than a 4-story stick-built, um, excuse.

@cwetteland

That's much better! 

At least with the old folks home, you're facing a chiller and railroad tracks and a highway.  Not a park or anything.

Not a park or anything.

And I-4 is a sea of garages so...

Sidenote, whatever happened to the Postcards at Camden Orange Court?

They were sunbleached to death.  If I'm not mistaken, the city of Orlando parking garage art requirements were updated to require the art has significant longevity and I think those postcards may have played a big part in that.
