The planning process required sensitive negotiations with several government entities and a local design committee. The city wanted a landmark, so the design incorporates a beautiful gallery with huge, brilliantly lit storefront windows. An easement for the Urban Trail, a downtown walking and biking path, reduced the amount of developable land; through creativity, the firm managed to create a community that is both high-density and high-quality.
Thanks to RangeWater’s efforts, the community leased quickly – well ahead of schedule. Orlando’s mayor praised the development as a huge victory, which is creating a positive economic impact for the city. The Southeast Building Conference has bestowed it with two Aurora Awards.
