April 1985, the Pillar-Bryton Company announced plans and unveiled the model for a new development in downtown Orlando, Florida on a 10-acre site off Orange Avenue named "du Pont Centre", the overall project cost was estimated to be $400 million once completed, with the first building costing $78 million.

The announcement was made by the owner of the development company and an Orlando resident which was William DuPont III, heir to the Du Pont family fortune.

Bad investments and business deals caused him to also sell his ownership interest in the building in the 1990s.
