c/o firemick at up:

Park Towers Altamonte: 16 story and 13 story luxury condo residential towers on southbank of Cranes Roost. (sitework)

Notice how they dwarf the 8 story apt. bldg. which is presently topped off with the north face complete to the left. It is currently visible from I-4 beyond the first Emerson tower which opened recently. THe apt. bldg. is in the shape of a rectangle and encompasses its owh parking deck within; it is self contained.

It's Reunion Grande being built by Turner. No photos, but there is a rendering and siteplan somewhere... condos. the site is amazing and as you probably noticed, there are dozens of bldgs. U/C all over that property. It is already dwarfing ChampionsGate and will soon dwarf Celebration.
