What
Happened
The operator engaged Apice after four months of unresolved comment cycles with the City of Orlando's Building Department. The root issue was a combination of incomplete MEP documentation and an incorrectly classified occupancy that required a different fire protection approach. Apice resubmitted addressing all 11 outstanding comments in a single coordinated package. Permit issued three weeks later. Construction was complete and CO issued within five weeks of permit issuance.
