Construction of the building began in May 2001 with a planned completion date of February 2003.^[2] However, due to funding issues and the owner's desire to avoid debt financing, the building was never fully completed. Construction has continued sporadically, but as of September 2025^[update] there is no planned completion date.

In June 2025, SuperChannel claimed it was planning a move-in to the ground floors later that year, citing "tentative approval" from municipal officials. Altamonte Springs' City Manager noted "no outlets, no drywall, no floor, no air conditioning," but welcomed signs of progress.^[3]

Due to its proximity to Interstate 4 and towering appearance, the building is widely known as the I-4 Eyesore^[4] or Eyesore on I-4.^[5]

History

The building was commissioned by Claud Bowers, CEO of the religious independent TV station SuperChannel 55 (WACX). The building would hold WACX's headquarters and broadcast studios, as well as leasable office, retail, and conference space. The project was estimated to cost $40 million, which Bowers planned to raise without taking on debt.^[2][6]

Construction began in May 2001.^[7] However, in October 2002, construction was halted due to a lack of funds. A fundraiser for WACX stated that the building would be continued in stages as more money was raised. At the time, only a 14-story concrete frame had been completed.^[8] In 2005, glass panels were installed on the sides of the frame.^[9] In 2010, Bowers announced plans to open the tower in 2012, but this did not occur.^[10]

Construction resumed in 2018, which led to the completion of the glass shell, the structure's five-story parking garage,^[9] and some interior lighting.^[11][12]
