SouthEnd Projects

[atlrvr]

Any updates on Park Avenue Plaza? I think the site had a demo permit from a month ago? Has it been cleared and graded?

[UrbanCharlotte]

I believe so.

I remember reading at least a year ago in the O about ambitious plans to convert a building near The Arlington in Southend into a highend dormitory for expensive cars with luxury suites above. Has that idea run out of gas?

On Charlotte Center City Partners' website, a rendering of Spectrum Apartments off of Hawkins Street has been added. Here is the link: http://www.charlottecentercity.org/nav.cfm...5&subsub=80

Thanks for posting that....I was actually checking out their other projects in other cities last week, and I was getting nervous about the design. While this won't win any awards, it is far better than I was expecting. No retail though

Very cool link. It summarizes the projects in Southend nicely.

Has demo/construction started on 101 W. Trade? I remember it was supposed to begin sometime this spring, and now we are headed into the summer and haven't heard much on the news front.

Was emailed these interior renderings of Park Avenue Plaza, thought i'd share

I noticed that Blvd Centro is no longer the agent requesting the rezoning of the corner of West Blvd and Camden. The company now listed as the agent is Conformity Corp.....anyone know what is planned for the site?

^ Which corner is it? The northern or southern corner?

[atlrvr]

Northern....adjacet to The Kingston condo building

What would you like to see?

A little off topic...I was in the WPEG Power 98 broadcasting studio tonight (as well as every other CBS radio network). I had no idea they are in the offices above Carrabbas. Thoroughly impressed with the building and the layout of the radio stations - a perfect example of street level interaction with office space.

Well...since you asked.....

That would depend on how much more of the block you acquire.

As it stands now, I would go with a modern loft style building fronting Kingston....4-5 stories is enough, just so that a roof-top deck would clear Phase II of Park Ave. Plaza. I know I've posted this picture before, but I think this is another appropriate spot for this design.

Another building at Camden and West whould be about 5-stories and more traditional, though not so staid as say, the Harris, Murr & Vermillion (now -Harris) office at Park and Camden. Maybe something along the lines of this place in DC (without the silly party hat)

Parking access unfortunately would have to be off of Camden, but it would allow some covered parkig under the rear of the two buildings.

Yep....on S. Union St (in an area pretty similar to South End, but further along the rejuvination cycle).....Seattle and DC are probably my favorite cities for interesting urban infill midrises.

Progress at Ryan Home's site at Church in Southend. The signs in front of each lot would indicate that all are sold except 5 or 6 of them...

Sigh.....as a continuation of my crappy architecture thread, I present to you "Ashton South End"...the official name for Hanover's 11-story apt. project at the corner of Tremont and Hawkins (across from where Camden dead ends)

This wouldn't be so bad if:

1. It didn't follow the same basic theme of every other mid-rise in the entire city.

2. The rest of Hanover's buildings outside of Charlotte didn't look so much better.

3. There wasn't a giant car plaza fronting Tremont.

I grade it: C+ (assuming the corner of Tremont and Hawkins really does include retail)

A strong resemblence to Royal Court in style.

I like it. It has enough unique features to stand out. It could be a statement for that side of South End.
