The Orlando-based company is seeking approval from the city’s municipal planning board on Feb. 21 for a 35-story tower. The project, previously known as Vertical Medical City, would be built on roughly 2.5 acres at 1000 N. Orange Ave. and 103 W. Marks St.

Why this matters: The project would be among the largest buildings in downtown Orlando and likely would create dozens of jobs if it comes to fruition.
