That Lake Avenue re-alignment is concerning.  Kinda implies that the Westminster owners might be up to something.  That would be bad planning.

I'm not seeing a realignment.  Lake Ave. has jogged like that for.... years.

Lake Ave. is currently located east of Westminster.  This proposal shows it moving to be west of Westminster.

See attached, Westminster is looking for an abandonment of Lake and part of South. Would allow traffic from 408 direct access to Monarch’s garage, also planned on Lake.

Liberty Ave is to the west of Monarch, isn't it?

Yes.

Plans filed to redesign a parking lot on Jackson to make up for spaces lost due to construction of the new Lake Ave

Is this just temporary during construction?

Looks awesome

Is there much lending going on right now to finance a project like this? I know the Fed is priming the pump to keep the bankers from getting skittish, but that’s not always successful.

It will be a challenge because of the cost but not impossible. The cost basis for high-rise is so high compared to rents. 

[orange87]

Are they gonna demo that one-story building on the corner with the columns?

[codypet]

Isn't that a trailer that housed the sales office for the Monarch years ago?

[jgardnerucf]

Still is. And, bum porch.

Here is more info if you can't view the GS story.

Of note, "A density bonus is being sought of 200 residential dwelling units per acre to allow a maximum density of 400 residential dwelling units per acre and an intensity bonus of 1.0 to allow a floor area ratio of 4.0 where 3.0 is the max. allowed. "

I had a date like that once.

This is one of the better looking developments in South Eola and a big improvement from the original vision.

After the completion of the new Lake Ave., the subject site will be approximately one acre where the applicant is proposing a 30-story, 375 ft. tall mixed-use building with a 160 room hotel, 400 residential units, 15,000 sq. ft. of ground-floor retail and an integrated 460 space parking garage.

That might be the first time I've seen an actual map of the height restrictions and glide path.

375ft would be nice over there.

[Tim3167]

I wonder if that 375’ height might be a mistake. If you look on the map, that is above the max height for the site and it also doesn’t appear that tall in renderings. Possibly the 375’ is the above sea level number making it about 281’ from sidewalk.

At around 28 stories, that sounds about right.
