*Rock Hill... not Fort Mill. Don't drag Fort Thrill into this lol

So 42 story office tower... That's what 625-650ft high? Assume the 30 and 40 story residential components are roughly 350 and 450ft-ish ? Was hoping for a tenant announcement to be included. Perhaps that's coming soon too This project looks awesome and easily the most transformational for Charlotte in a while.

Yea, I'm aware he (and the city) want the NFL draft. First time I heard amphitheater mentioned though... Would be curious about the scale of it since the NC Music Factory already has a 5k capacity one right up the road. I selfishly want a 20k one down this way instead of having to go up to PNC Pavilion lol

Here is some potential big time sports (and economical impact) news for the Queen City.... Charlotte is one of 5 cities vying to host the annual Army/Navy college football game (along with Orlando, Boston, Chicago and Dallas) in 2027. Outside of the national college football championship and probably the Rose Bowl, it's the biggest game on the calendar. A bit of a long shot for Charlotte, but just being on the short list is pretty awesome. Hope city and regional leaders can find a way to make it happen. https://charlotte.axios.com/290615/charlotte-is-vying-to-host-the-army-navy-game/

Whoa wait a second... So this new entertainment complex has an amphitheater as a part of the plans? As in something on the scale of PNC Pavillion? I would love to never have to make the trek up to north Charlotte to see a band again. FedEx Field is far and away the absolute worst NFL (or football in general) experience imaginable. Absolutely nothing up that way, pain to get in and out of and the stadium is literally falling apart.

It could have been mentioned elsewhere, but when (or is) that parking lot going to be developed? Something in the works?

I don't forsee security checkpoints and entry delays being a problem. Since they installed the new security screening systems last year, it's waaaay easier to get into BofA Stadium now. I went to several Panthers games and also the Rolling Stones show last year and it was a breeze. Concessions may be a different story though depending on labor shortages and if they can get enought people to work, which isn't unique to Charlotte. The self serve beverage areas for beer/waters/etc help some with that though.

As an ECU alum, I fully support this idea!

Having spent many a nights at airport hotels in places like Atlanta, Boston, Chicago and Dallas these places only ever served 3 purposes: 1) team meeting space where everyone flew into that city because it was convenient and usually cheaper 2) Stuck overnight because of a flight delay/cancellation 3) have an early flight the next morning and didn't want the hassle of getting an Uber/taxi at 5am from within the city ... I think if someone is in Charlotte for business or pleasure (unless you're paying for that) you're not going to be staying at the airport. I don't think you'll see anything high end. Maybe a full service Marriott/Hilton type at best. But like others said, probably more likely a Courtyard/Garden Inn. The location of this where the old control tower is currently at is perfect though

^Just saw that image for the first time today too... 31 stories, ~465 ft tall from what our good friend CLTDevelopment indicated on the twitter. Incredible how SouthEnd continues to scale up.

I flew CLT to Burlington last year at the end of summer. Beautiful area of the country (not far from where my profile pic is brewed too lol). We were there probably a few weeks too early for the fall foliage. Definitely plan to head up there again.

Ha. See, I can't even speak airline either!

Yes, you can... I actually did it yesterday. You have to cut through the new hourly/rental deck. For those that don't speak airline, that's daily nonstop service to Montreal on Air Canada 2x daily returning on May 1st

Agreed. It's dumb. We should appreciate both metros for what they are and what they will continue to be.

I have no insider knowledge, but this development just reeks off some large HQ relocation (or existing). 600' plus tall office tower with a hotel next to it for its employees/customers just seems like another type of development that was similar to BofA (Office and Ritz Carlton) and Ally (Office and JW Marriott).

These are some great updated "preview" renderings. Can't wait to see the full images of what this project will look like. Definitely raising the bar on what we've seen so far!

And also how about not cross posting the same link into another thread too...

Mic drop...

Great addition to SouthPark mall. Nice to see a local spot instead of some big chain. I don't think I ever ate at the California Pizza place in all the years I've lived here. This should do well!

Hey RVA folks... Hope all is well. Just my two cents: Pay attention to what The Real Clayton says... He's a very well informed and connected poster in the Charlotte area (and just development stuff in general on the east coast). He used to go by a different name on UP and is usually pretty spot on. Don't shoot the messenger if it doesn't happen, LOL... but definitely something I would keep an eye on in 2022 knowing where this info is coming from.

Charlotte FC's inaugural home match will be against the LA Galaxy on March 5, 2022.

And here it is... Another mixed use tower coming to Southend at the old Price's Chicken Coup spot ... This time: 30 stories. 291 apartments, 10k office space and some retail. https://www.bizjournals.com/charlotte/news/2021/11/16/catalyst-capital-partners-stiles-to-develop.html?cx_testId=40&cx_testVariant=cx_23&cx_artPos=1#cxrecs_s

It's happening... Looks like Cam Newton is coming home! Not official yet, but doubt he flew into town this morning to walk away from Panthers now. https://www.charlotteobserver.com/sports/nfl/carolina-panthers/article255722441.html

Anyone know what's going in here? I miss QCQ Was our go-to spot before Hornets games and concerts at the arena.

So using the Deloitte office tower as a baseline, this new one would be about 40% bigger. So simple math says it will be in the 25 story range and ~400 ft tall. Not bad for that location.
