Downtown Orlando Project Discussion

[Kaz]

The Orlando business journal just posted rendering of CNL III that would be built next to the dr. phillips performing arts center. I noticed what looks to be a parking garage as well in the rendering that wasn't mentioned.

Saw that too. Bares some resemblance to the hotel proposal at Garland and South. Comparison:

I like it.  It looks much better than the original design a decade ago.  The original design incorporated a pedestrian bridge over Anderson.  It looks like that will be incorporated in this design as well.

With so much parking across Anderson, I hope those six stories of gray boxes facing the plaza aren't also parking...

HKS Architects is the architect of record for both projects.

Looks like something that would pop up at Orlando Health or Florida Hospital lately

Red Lobster at ground level?

[Jernigan]

Not sure why they would move after building out in the existing tower

[sunshine]

I mean just the restaurant...not the corporate office...

4 Rivers coming downtown.

 

I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it.

 

Also I am going to be fat.

[Jernigan]

Great addition to the plaza

I wish they'd put a large one at Church Street Market instead.

[prahaboheme]

This will be inside City Hall?

OH YES!!!!

 

I live reasonably close to the University location, but my wife will be within walking distance of this one when she's in the office!!  I'll be putting in my to-go orders as soon as it opens.

I stop having meetings in City Hall and now they have this. Pretty favorable lease for 4Rivers too.

But I do agree a big one on Church would have been great and very busy.

[Jernigan]

They were in talks for Church Street but they fell through

[popsiclebrandon]

I get it from 4Rivers perspective. Sounds like they are bringing the food in from their commissary or another store so they save on labor costs and their rent is very cheap.

Damn. A 4Rivers in the old urban flats location across from rusty spoon would have made a killing.

I agree big time.

Wonder if this is something of a trial balloon. They'll be able to determine level of interest without as much financial risk.
