I think it looks fine, it just looks odd without any foliage to accompany it at the moment.Universal's Epic Hostel
In all seriousness, I think it's one of the ugliest hotels in Orlando after driving past it last weekend multiple times. I know it's not finished, but man it looks like a rainbow can of tuna fish.
Do you mean the corner of Universal Blvd and Destination Pkwy? Cause that's where the 21-story W-Hotel by Marriott is going.I wonder who owns that little plot of land in front of the Courtney Apartments and Universal Blvd. Would hate for something ugly to be build at that location and ruin some of the vistas of this resort.
Oh, I see maybe you mean that little strip between the apartments and Universal Blvd... No clue who owns that. Seems to have access roads that lead to within apartment area, so maybe Courtney owns it for expansion? If not, would be a good spot for a strip mall and gas station lol
Thanks for the research work!Yeah the one across the 7-11, not the W hotel location.
Just searched OC records... a Staybridge Hotel is proposed there lol
Looked that up too, listed as Staybridge Suites and Even Hotel - a little odd they’d build a Marriott and IHG brand on the same plot but they may have been AOP’d out of every other reasonable combo of the same flag.Yeah the one across the 7-11, not the W hotel location.

Oh, there’s a golf course nearby! That is neat, does anyone know if that’s public or private? Not trying to derail the thread here, just curious.
It’s already pretty built out to be honest. Ripley's owns some land next to Top Golf but other than that it's like 2-3 small plots. The other side of 528 is residential. Up Destination Parkway is business parks. Could see an apartment complex going up down Destination Parkway toward the convention center.Yeah this area is going to explode with development soon ... which is fine unless it is stores selling imitation Nintendo stuff

I mentioned this with the hotel plot next to 7-Eleven but one problem is that almost any sort of franchise (McDonald's, Burger King, limited service hotels, etc.) already exists within a close distance and you're generally not allowed to build a new location within a certain distance of another franchisee's location.
