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

[elefants]

I should have taken some pictures from the rear, but I didn't think it was worth the walk.  Anyway, this building is flying along.

Not my favorite building but it sure is nice to have that lot full after all these years. Now, for the old Gulf station across the street, please.

They have some sort of machine running at the station.  If I were to speculate wildly, I'd say it might be cleaning the soil and readying the lot for sale.

Looks like it belongs in South Eola.  Don't get me wrong, it's a decent building and at least we got rid of another empty lot, but this is the wrong location for it (along with CSS). That's Orlan-doh for ya... unfortunately the demographic just cannot support high end skyrise apartments so this is what we end up with along the main drag.

I wonder how long cleanup takes on a brownfield site? They've been working on & off on this thing since last year. I remember posting a pic when they started working on the site:

Random observation, but I never knew we had above-ground power lines in the CBD (see upper left), I thought they were all buried.

Great looking building imo. Now if we can just get Society up and running.

I would love that to be a brew hub or restaurant.  It would be perfect for an A la carte type place.   If I had unlimited money I would do just that both there and at Hoods Up.

Apparently a long time.  Look how long Chevron @ 50/Ferncreek or Shell @ Michigan/Ferncreek or Shell/Coastal across from Lazy Moon have taken.

The Sentinel Site is going to be dealing with something similar.

I suspect the Sentinel site will never be fully addressed even after remediation. The chemical plumes have already reached Lake Concord IIRC.

Turned out way better than expected.

Definitely a welcome addition to Orange Ave, especially considering what was there before. The pricing is crazy though for that area. $1648 for a 598sqft one bedroom?

She’s short, but she looks decent from behind.

Nice color scheme.

I wonder if this one will have a rodent problem too

Were they getting into people's apartments or just in the garage/dumpster area? Rats are everywhere downtown and the surrounding "Park" neighborhoods...

[codypet]

@nite owℓ I was thinking about Finfrocks other project that another member has said is dealing with rodents right now.  I think the theory was the way its constructed leads to the possibility of rodents entering the structure and then they're in the upper floors.

*ponders how I lived 30+ years of my adult life in and around downtown without a mouse or rat problem*

there was a raccoon boom at a couple of points, though, and lots and lots of squirrels

They might not have invaded your building, but they're definitely around. Just ask some of the more established pest control companies that you see driving around town and they'll tell you what goes down behind the scenes.

That's what he said?

What she needs is some cluck! Huey Magoo’s to the rescue?
