Disney has today put up some great concept art at Downtown Disney to give us a first look at what the Disney Springs West Side parking garage will look like.

The structures are not the typical concrete boxes, but instead make use of perforated metal over metal fins. The design also calls for louver panels and planter boxes.

The first of the two huge parking garages is currently under construction as part of the Disney Springs redevelopment, and is expected to open in late 2014.

Interesting. The planters on the corner structures are a cool idea, should help break up what can be a pretty monotonous structure.
that looks nice, not blocky UNI parking deck... and the louvers will effectively hide whether the parking deck is full or empty... a more uniform appearance
Absolutely perfect. Couldn't be better. Can anyone read the added notes?

Attractive without hinting too heavily at the theme inside. Very pleased with the subtle 'mid century modern' style. Compliments the direction they seem to be taking on the west side without raising expectations too high upon arrival. Kudos!
This has me almost as excited as the Tangled bathrooms.
Actually, that does look nice.
they really aren't messing around with the DTD to Disney Springs redo - this is going to be very nice when everything is completed
Will the other garage look the same or is this one themed to specifically fit into the West Side?

Perfect question. It will be fun to find out.

Personally hoping they have specific themes for the area they are in even if the theming is somewhat subtle. Well worth the extra expense IMO.
drove by downtown disney today. The parking garage construction is going well. they had 5 cranes working. it seemed pretty crazy.

Its interesting that it looks like they are using forms and pouring the garages in place rather than using pre cast sections.. Presumably one would think that precast would have been faster and cheaper.
depends. how far away are the casting plants, how far to the cement plant, structural plans may require pour?

And also the logistical issues of having to close roads to get them on-site and additional space to stage them on-site...
