Oops I forgot that one and that is probably the biggest one . I remember the old surface parking lot there next to the old NC Federal Building at 230 S Tryon. I think Spectrum Properties did this.

that one story retail building was purposedly built there for these reasons: when the former office tower at 230 S Tryon was converted to condos that parcel was part of a surface parking lot. The pool for the condos is right behind the Ruth's Chris single story building so I doubt this building will be replaced anytime soon. Nobody wants their pool in shadows most of the day.

With interstate highways you can not convert existing lanes into toll lanes. NC could not open some lanes on I-485 in Charlotte as they were going to open them as free lanes and then convert when a bigger project was done to tolled express lanes. However, the Feds said you could not do that so the new lanes sat there for a while before the toll lanes were completed unused. So you can add tolled lanes but only as new lanes.
