So, the proposed Mandarin is not necessarily a done deal. Right? It may never exist at all. It kills me how you understand this stuff zz...
It's complicated because FQP still owns those baby blue parcels that require Mandarin Drive extension for access.It’s just as finalized as the Kirkman extension is. The county has a whole road plan for that area that probably will drastically change at the whim of Universal. The county probably wouldn’t care if UOR asked to move the ROWs around.
My understanding is that any of the "owners" of the parcels can activate the building process for that road (now just Stan Thomas or Universal, before that also included the 101 acre owner Orlando IA). If Universal acquires all of the land, then they can change it entirely.
But if FQP wants to keep those baby blues, then they can actually pursue having the whole road built out based on the rights of way granted.
That's also why those FQP properties are so important. They're right in the middle of the theme park zoned properties, and they have that Mandarin Drive extension option. If Universal wants to take complete control of the Mandarin Drive extension, then they need to take over those FQP baby blue properties.
