Just a link to the MPB staff report.

I combined Ph 2 tower and Ph 3 former Church Street Station re-work as it seems they are both ramping up to start.

At some point maybe e we should start a tower 2 thread. Baker Barrios  posted video flyover video of the project:

I can see why there has been such confusion on the different elevations when posted individually. I think I like this.

Thanks for the link, the rendering explains a lot.

The new building does look like it might close 90% of the gap here, not entirely a big fan of that. Not sure what to think about the building still. Seems massive

I actually like it. The MPB reports didn’t provide a clear rendering which threw me off. But I definitely like this one. Not the best, but not bad at all.

I think the video sells it to me a bit more. A little funky - but definitely unique. I'll take it. Would like to know what materials they want to use though.

Looks to be well over 400’ ?

Just 400'.  The labels are funky as someone pointed out in the other thread.

The video is much better.  I'm still annoyed over the lack of foresight regarding the parking pedestal.  So much wasted space that could have been a Sunrail lobby.

[orlandouprise]

the building looks to be tweaked slightly. A hair better but still FAR from what was the original design.

I love how it towers over phase one.

Looked like it did in the video. Phase two is 85 feet taller than phase one, which is a good bit taller by Orlando standards.

[Dale]

It looks 430’ in the video. In any case, based on phase one’s floor height, phase 2 would be over 400, and that’s without the roof ornamentation.

It's almost as tall as the title of this thread would be if it were stretched out and stood on its end....

I get paid by the letter here!

The MPB approved phase 2/3, including the food hall, over the objections of Hamburger Mary's and the full plan goes before the City 11/11.

Before anyone goes off about Buddy, Chapman and the City needing to protect the little guy consider the view landlord/ tenant issues are a matter for civil court- not elected officials.

Thanks!  In truth I was just trying to make it easy to tell which thread was which.

Passed Orchid Gardens and saw some equipment on site and well as a gate. Looks like demo should happen soon unless the equipment is for I-4 construction.

I have not seen any I4 equipment east of Sunrail tracks so I'm doubting it's for I4! 

[HankStrong]

Here!!  Although, the other poster's comment about "skyscraper" isn't a term I'd use.

[Jvest55]

Thanks Hank.

From @Jvest55 in another thread...

"No rendering, but a mention about it here

https://www.bizjournals.com/orlando/news/2020/02/11/2-proposed-downtown-towers-seek-record-setting.html

Lincoln Property plans to build a 32-story skyscraper with 210,000 square feet of office space, 228 hotel rooms and more northeast of South Street and Garland Avenue."

The article also mentions that Highwoods has dusted off plans for Cap Plaza 3 and the link, as well as @Jvest55 post(rendering included) in the Capital Plaza thread mentions both developers are asking OVER $40 PER SQUARE FOOT. That would be amazing for downtown landlords and if they get it would drive lots of other development.

For the retail? No way thats office right?

Yes, office.

[popsiclebrandon]

Hot damn thats crazy high and way above market. Seems crazy risky to me but good for them if they get it.

[Jvest55]

The article claimed that it needed to be that high in order to turn a profit. 

[popsiclebrandon]

Well then it won't be built because nothing listed on loopnet in downtown is going for more than $30, slim chance they can fill up that much higher than everyone. Average in Orlando is under $25 but we do have a low vacancy rate.
