Overview
- Crews are slated to remove the Pulse sign around March 10, 2026, with secure storage planned after removal.
- Demolition of the former nightclub is scheduled to begin March 18, clearing the site for a permanent memorial.
- Designers released new renderings showing a reflection pool with a rainbow ripple, an arcing “angel ellipse” shade structure, a water wall with victims’ names in English and Spanish, a 3,500-square-foot visitor center, and a proposed survivor’s tree.
- Construction is expected to start in about six months, and the city has said it aims to finish by next fall, though separate reporting lists a planned completion in September 2027.
- The city took over after the onePulse Foundation effort collapsed and purchased the site and an adjacent parcel, with public updates and meeting links available at pulseorlando.org.
