Claud Bowers, president and founder of SuperChannel WACX-TV, began the $40 million venture almost 7 years ago. The goal was to complete the building debt-free using charitable donations and through pre-leasing arrangements. Before the project even broke ground, there was a total of $36 million in pledges.
The Majesty Building is situated on 4.7 acres off of Interstate 4 on Central Parkway in Altamonte Springs. The structure contains 18 floors and towers 307 feet above Cranes Roost Park.
The current plans include:
Retail space in the rotunda and 2nd floor
Owner-occupied 3rd and 4th floors housing a banquet facility, theater, meeting rooms, and a film and video studio
Office leasing in the 5th though 16th floors
Owner-occupied 17th floor
Electrical and mechanical facilities and antenna leasing on the top floor
According to Bowers, the purpose of the project is to "serve the present and future needs of [WACX-TV] and help endow SuperChannel through funds generated by leasing a portion of office and retail space in the rotunda and tower."
The patio near the top of the structure can seat 200 people. Bowers describes this scenic gathering place as an "oasis in the sky" that will be adorned with fruit trees and other tasteful garnishments.
The design of the Majesty Building does not hold any particular meaning. It was inspired by another building Bowers admired and he applied some of the same characteristics to his own creation.
Bowers also emphasized the benefits to the community of Altamonte Springs in terms of employment opportunities and providing an attractive venue where sales meetings and civic events may take place.
The City of Altamonte Springs is advised regularly of the progress of the construction efforts and Bowers said the same contractors and architects have been working on the project since its inception. He also informed me that construction has never been interrupted and that they are currently installing retaining walls under the structure for the parking facilities. The target date of completion is between April and October of 2008.
SuperChannel is the only commercial Christian independent TV station in the Orlando area. According to Bowers, the station airs "original programs along with local and national client programming through individual contracts with agencies, independent distributors and program producers."
