Construction Thread OUC

I can't wait for this to fill that lot off of 408... what a darkhorse project--- it will make such a visual impact to DT's SE side... wait and see.

[RestedTraveler]

I agree. Having a highway ramp wrap around a building is one of those little things that makes you feel like you're in a "big city."

or under it

Or better yet a min-metro rail like in d-town Miami .... its way cool to ride and even goes through some of the buildings.

Drove by this today. I think they are done pouring the garage.

[JRS1]

it looks like they added another level since those initial renderings.

it makes a big difference... it will be very visible from 408 & I-4

[FACE187436]

ne1 have new pics of progress?

[JFW657]

Anyone know if they plan to keep the old building, or lease it out, or sell it or just demo it? I'd kinda like to see it stay.

The new OUC building is coming up quick. I drove by there yesterday...it look like it is already taller than the old OUC building.

JRS1 stated on the main thread that this is nearly topped off, does anyone have photos they can post for those of us out of town? Thanks!

Glass is going up on OUC. I think all the ornamental roof work is done as well.

It is no wonder the building is hidden behind the 408.

[bulldogger]

Considering that it won't be seen by anyone except employees of City Hall, CNL, and drivers on the 408, and take into consideration that they didn't have funding to go taller, what do you want? I think they did a decent job of incorporating the curve of the 408 off ramp and included another curve giving the illusion that it curves even more. Yes, in some ways it is sterile looking like a hospital, but it is our utility company. Well, it's my utility company and I don't really want to see them get too extravagant on my dime. I do wonder how much good those solar panels will do, though. Enough to power even one floor during the day?

I think the building is looking sharp. Granted 3 more floors on it would be better. What's going to happen to the old building? It seems out of place to me now.

[JRS1]

the old building has a for sale sign on it. maybe they won't demo it after all.

I like the old building & feel that it represents a style of 1960's architecture that it would be good to keep at least one example of in DTO, seeing as we have so few styles represented as it is.

I hope whoever buys it doesn't do anything to it other that change the roof sign.

Since it wasn't "new" enough for OUC, the building probably needs to be completely gutted out.

[JFW657]

Something decorative up there that also adds a little height would be cool.
