Respectfully disagree I love that number font very nostalgic for me, otherwise I understand the dislike.

You're talking about this? Tampa Lightning Creating Version of LA Live at Channelside - Rehab and Flip
That was very early 'visioning'. It's basically what became Sparkman Wharf.

I've got a Tweet out to see if anything's been made public.
Maybe the luxury of having so much acreage is that Water Street can figure out what they're short of later. All the talk has been on housing, hotels, food, shopping, but not much on other essentials like office space (doctors, lawyers, etc.), ice rinks, etc.
The visioning article mentions nightclubs, which I haven't thought about in the slightest. I'm not sure if you can monetize those in the day.
They've also got an industrial railway right there, which they may be temporarily using to bring materials in. Anyone know? They clearly aren't expanding the line.
They don't need a train station, as you can get off at Union Station a few blocks north, so I figure they'll disassemble what they can of the rail line, and take the space.
You could put more mixed-use in, but I kind of like the idea of a park. Specifically because it's on the current edge of Water Street, so I think you've got to have something kind of inviting that can draw people in.

Seems like they're filling the building with office tenants. Fitness, real estate, co-working, etc.
LA Live is massive. I wouldn't even want that.
It's in a very GTA 5 area of LA if you look it up on Google Street View.

An Athletic article, so pay walled. I picked part of it that I don't think is too much to share.
NFTs feel off-brand for the Lightning. As I understand it, you at most own a token with a web address that links to artwork, but is presented as entirely owning the artwork (and possibly its rights). It's basically just the certificate of authenticity.

Anyone know the current plans for the Amalie roof? Old concept art had some type of greenery up there (not sure how that was supposed to work), with some kind of addition over the current private parking lot, but the current WST website pretty much leaves Amalie alone.
Could put some solar panels up. It's free real estate.

There actually already are some put up there, just not on the topmost part of the roof. The installation was done by TECO in.... 2012? 2013?
Not sure its enough to be of any consequence, I don't remember the exact size of the system, but there certainly is (or potentially was) solar there.

The latest drone video to drop (different YouTube channel so I missed it) doesn't really make it clear where any have been placed.
Do solar, do whatever up there, but I can see how the city and TECO would be interested in a high profile solar installation. There's a microchip shortage, but the cost of the panels seem to keep dropping over the years.

Ardent Mills says on their website that their Port Redwing (I see how it is) facility will open in early 2022.
SPP also has plans that are supposed to begin this year. https://www.bizjournals.com/tampabay/news/2021/08/25/water-street-arden-mills-property-planning.html
I think we're about near the end of phase 1 (although we need an Avengers style team up to cap off phase one), and phase 2 would begin the Mill SaGa.
There's a lot to come still.
edit: I'll note that the parking spaces and residential units are probably somewhat tied. Most people will still own cars, so it probably won't actually 'create' that many parking spots, but rather be parking for residents. The rest will be for retail, employees, etc.

I see on the artist's website that she makes felt Bud Lights, so our plush Kucherovs can reenact #1 BS press conferences.
The items are pricey. 60 British pounds for the Bud Light can online. That's about $80 USD. They don't seem to be selling things for that much at the actual store, however.
This installation was originally supposed to open last year. I'm more of a 'death of the artist' type interpreter, but I don't really see what the intended message would be.
On one hand, you have a fully stocked grocery store with high prices in [current year]. This seems unintentional, but very appropriate for interpretation. Pretty much everything on the middle shelves is name brand and processed, frequently from sources we don't like to think about too much. Not sure if any of that is 'officially' part of it.
Based on some pictures, the item layout needs a bit of work for realism. Dairy, raw, and cooked meat are kept in the same refrigerator, etc. Knitpicking.

I’m curious why they added a grocery store when you have a Publix directly across the street 
I won’t complain though, the Water Street Project has kept myself (and numerous coworkers) very busy over the last few years and will continue to do so til we all retire
