Indeed not. The similarities between the new-ish Marriott Marquis here in Chicago are also striking - it's almost as if the design details of this building are split between CSP phases I & II (or whatever we're calling the different phases...)

OMG, I didn't realize you're in Da Windy City...

Yeah, that's at McCormick...

For almost a decade now. Hard to believe it's been 17 years since I've lived in Orlando...

Oak Park - dream come true for a life-long Frank Lloyd Wright fan.

does your work and/or leisure take you to downtown ever or frequently?

So this missed it’s stated 4th quarter start. It’s been awfully quiet. Any insight or word on the street? Is this still alive and kicking or on life support?

Like most of the major building projects that get proposed around here, it's probably in Orlimbo.

Yeah . I set myself up. I bought into this and the Monarch project and neither one is doing anything. I should've known. 

 

It's weird to have Baker burials go through all of those design changes though and this is for both. So this is disappointing of this isn't happening .

I dunno.

I can see it eventually happening.

Everyone thought Society aka Golden Sparrow aka whatever was dead but look at it now.

Was in plan review 4th quarter last year and permits were pulled.

When you say permits were pulled, does that mean that they were issued permits in the city pulled them back?

How I understood what I read That's why in a previous post I put February 2022. But I guess that first quarter of 2022 is made up of the last 90 days of 2021. So maybe not February but maybe March or towards the end of March hopefully

Pulled using mean filed for/requested in the sense of permitting.  

[dcluley98]

Yeah, sorry, "pulling a permit" is contractor-speak for applying and receiving an open permit to begin work. 

They still have open permits for the overall project, design/plan review, and foundations. 

It is my understanding that it is still in plan review process, and maybe delayed due to historic building component of the buildings/facade fronting Church Street before demo can take place.  

The project isn't "dead" just delayed. Once reviews are done, they can get permission to fence off the site and begin demo.  

Last activity on plan review reported was in September/October, but they had a lot of notes on there for things that need to happen and plans that need fixed/altered before that can occur.  One of them was: "New Construction and demolition needs a final review and approval by the Historic Preservation Board"

Exactly the update and type of info I was hoping for. Thanks!

If built, If it comes out looking anything like it's little brother I will be so happy . You know, since downtown likes the blue color on all the buildings. 

[IAmFloridaBorn]

Hopefully.

Looks pretty good by Orlando standards. If I had one nitpick, I'd wish they wouldn't put that little section at the bottom that connects both buildings. Would look less stubby if they appeared more like separate buildings.

I would prefer a sky bridge between the two buildings if they absolutely have to be connected.

They have to put section at the bottom connecting the buildings for connectivity of the parking garage levels as well as the SunRail station.  The phase 1 was designed with open ended levels for parking on the north side of the building to ensure connectivity of the garage for both phases.

I think the only reason that's happening is because of the connected SunRail station in the back which they promised the city of Orlando.

IIRC when we looked at the floor plan a few months back, they opted not to set the parking lot that way after all.  You couldn't drive between the building and they had separate ramps as a result.

I vote for no connection between the garages, allowing only for “Dukes of Hazzard” style jumps between buildings. Charge extra, it becomes a tourist attraction, spurring additional growth downtown, making DTO the envy of all!
