Planet Hollywood unveils redesign for Disney Springs

[halltd]

I assume this is the balcony people are talking about. It actually looks more like and observation deck then a balcony that is part of the restaurant seating area.

I thought they were talking about the gray area on this map...about 9,600 sf of exterior space overlooking the springs.

Personally I hope they don't delete either as I think they'd both be cool additions to the facility which would increase traffic.

@danlb_2000, could we get this image added to your first post on the Tenant Map thread? I keep going back to this for reference and have to search for it every time.

And thanks @Stitchon for the image: https://www.flickr.com/photos/57343525@N04/23467884473/in/dateposted-public/

from a business standpoint i'd say they'd keep the 9000 since thats profit space and ditch the tower lookout since that doesnt bring a profit unless they charged to go up there, which in that case they could keep it since then they'd be able to limit the number of people on the platform at one time and would be able to have an employee monitor the area

the boathouse has its gimmick the cars, so ph could have its pay gimmick the observation deck from the tower

The problem with that map is that a lot of the location number are not readable. That is why I took a map similar to this one and re-did the numbering in a larger font.

What is/was the High line seating?

This was originally going to have a seating area on top, but it got cut at some point.

Here's a higher-resolution capture (6293 x 4282) of the lease plan for y'all to browse.

Photo update as of Tuesday, Feb. 2. New billboard art on the construction wall around Planet Hollywood.

Note the tower is missing the observation deck as seen in previous concept art.

Current construction photo of entrance.

I was really hoping that observation deck was going to stay. But, the building still looks WAY better overall. Here's a comparison of the original rendering versus the current one. It looks like many things were removed from the scope including the dome on the entry, the arched windows under the planet hollywood sign, and the base to the tower (as well as the main tower itself).

If that white structure in the back to the left is the outdoor dining terrace, it looks like it may have stayed, though!

Disappointing change in the concept art for sure - still a big improvement but the changes to the tower are pretty bad.

I like the observation deck a lot more in the original art. Also looks like they dropped the dome from the entrance structure.

Hey...read my post!

Hey...read my post!

Oops, I missed that part.

 

[toolsnspools]

I wonder if the old tower was structurally unable to handle to load of the observation deck. Seems like the deck, and the people load would be significantly higher load than what it currently carries.

Too bad about the dome. That really added to the planetarium feel for the new building.

Tower looks like it is telescoping now. HUH.

Regardless of the "downgrade", the update is a huge improvement.

 

[wdrive]

Summer 2016? I thought it was closed until November?

The tower in the new art is simply what is there now with the globe removed from the top.

I definitely prefer the original concept art to this newer rendition. There also appears to be a glass dome on the roof of the one structure that is now missing. Wait and see I suppose.
