Majesty Building, Office building in Altamonte Springs, United States.
The Majesty Building is an unfinished 18-story office tower in Altamonte Springs, Florida, planned at 300,000 square feet (27,871 m2). Its flat front and large curved left side are clad in light blue glass panels set in a grid of mullions, with a low railing along the top of the glass. The lower floors remain a bare concrete frame of rectangular columns and open slabs, and an open steel structure with a flat roof sits above the glass.
Construction of this building began in 2001 with a planned completion by 2003, but financial constraints and a debt-free funding approach delayed finishing. It remains the only incomplete high-rise in Seminole County to this day.
The building was commissioned by Claud Bowers, CEO of the religious independent station SuperChannel 55 (WACX), to hold the station's headquarters and broadcast studios. WACX's programming is religious, and the tower was also meant to provide leasable office, retail and conference space. Drivers know the structure by its highway nickname, the I-4 Eyesore.
The building is not open to the public: the lower floors remain a bare concrete frame and the upper floors are unfinished, so there is nothing to visit inside. It stands beside Interstate 4 in Altamonte Springs, behind trees and a parking area, and is seen from the road. A five-story parking garage was built during the 2018 works.
The nickname I-4 Eyesore comes from the tower's visibility beside Interstate 4. Its lower floors remain a bare concrete frame of columns and open slabs without glass, while the upper facade is clad in light blue panels. Above the glass sits an open steel structure with a flat roof.
