Open in December 2005, the new 12-story CNL Center II is the first major office building in downtown Orlando in six years. Located just north of City Hall and steps away from the 14-story CNL Center I, the building has 291,200 sf of Class A office space including several floors planned for spec tenants. Three major corporate tenants as well as 300 CNL employees already call the new tower home. Included in the project were the addition of two floors (approximately 180,000 sf) to the Boone Street parking garage, an air conditioned pedestrian bridge linking the tower to the garage, and a corridor interconnection between the CNL II and CNL pedestrian bridges along the east side of the Boone Street garage. Card key technology controls access to interior spaces and the pedestrian walkway to the parking garage. Closed-circuit color TV cameras monitor the public areas including the lobby, elevators, and hallways, as well as the building exterior. TLC design specialists also upgraded the CCTV system in Tower I and networked the voice-data distribution systems in Tower I, Tower II, and the CNL Hanger at Orlando Executive Airport, a two-story aviation and support building. Under separate contracts, TLC provided MEP services for several tenant build-outs.
