and this is the high rise for the midtown project... Sweet. I like it.

nicely said

As I read through some of the forums... I noticed a lot of ppl suggesting the uncapping of Sugar Creek hoping and thinking it would produce some kind of water front activity. Does anyone have any more thoughts about this. Any examples (pics if possible) of it being down in a city around our side. I personally think it would awsome to see but have no idea how or what it would take to do it to sugar creek. Just wanted some insite.

I thought they said that they would not expand the convention center because of low attendence... and use the money that for that to go to the nchof. Thats how I look it at least... I know the article said something about a new ball room their but I figured that was redoing something already inside the convention center. I think the site is great... i can picture great views coming in on south blvd with this big awsome new modern hof ... I think we are ahead in our planning when compared to the other cities... but maybe they are being more hush hush about it to see what we can come up with... We've pretty much let our plan be open for the world to see

what is that...?

Theres the movie with Jack Black... Shallow Hal... Filmed mostly in charlotte and used the skyline as their back drop... The only problem with this movie is that they did say they were in Charlotte

Nice summary

12 miles... WOW! I would be hard press to bike more than 2 or 3 miles back and forth to work... But I do look forward to the day I can get ride of my car and fully rely on public trans, my feet, and a bike

does anyone have any pictures of buildings this guy did... I've heard of the ones mentioned above I just can't put a name with the face.

This looks like an awsome developement... when should it all be done

But whats the likely hood of a trolly or LRT coming down Central? I have not looked at the proposed map for track lay out. I would love to see that area become more popular again. I really think that most of uptowns surrounding neigborhoods are going to get more and more popular as the burbs expand and ppl want to live closer to the core without actually doing so. Thats one reason why noda is so popular (other than the great atmosphere and image it has created for itself). Some of those older areas have such great potential lets hope some developers see that and capitalize on it.

Thanks man

first... Can someone go into detail about what ever project this is and the one atvar mentioned. Second... I know ppl who are starting to looking to properties in that area for investment so somethings turning to that direction but I don't think they have gone past the creek yet... its a bit questionable still but it will change with time

good point

does any one have any construction photo's to update us?

This whole area has the potential to be a awsome secondary skyline... if you get any more updates please let us know

That is some great information... keep those updates coming... This is going to be a great project for the area... I can't wait till it is completed. Thanks for the great update!

I've enjoyed city fest ever ... it sucks to see it go But since its gone I really hope the guy gets what ever project he wants off the ground and soon. Does any one have any information about what he wants to do and where? I've never heard of this guy other than just minor details here and there.

so Really theres just those three projects then... I really hope this area booms like the rest of dt... it could be an awsome area

Hey, Does anyone know the break down of projects going on in midtown Charlotte? I know about the target/home dep. thing but is there anything else? The green way is going through there right... is there any talk of high rises? When I look at this little area of Charlotte I see such great potential being that its so close to dt. I would love to see this become a hot bed for retail, hotel, and residential. Any word or thoughts on the matter?

I really life this project... It kinda spreads out the towers while keeping the dense feel up uptown. With all the new projects going up the face of uptown charlotte will be completely different... and Better! And yes there are still plenty of places to build here... so I hope they keep the developments coming but residential can not fill all of it... I would love to see some more mid office towers maybe a few more skycrappers... but other projects that bring more life to dt... we could do another 8 acre park and still have plently of room to build what ever we wanted for years to come. Charlotte is rockin!

Don't worry you aren't the only one... when I take someone new through uptown and surrounding areas... I fill their heads with all the new projects that just about to happen. Its kinda funny actually

I would be very surprised if the city proposed to put this project anywhere else other than uptown. I'm sorry but if it goes into suburbia then there just wont be the traffic it would get if it were in uptown. Plus, imagine getting a national tv station and other things all within one large amazing setting. IF and when we get this project... it will be amazing. I hope we win... its going to be hard to be daytona and I am sure atlanta is nipping at our heals to get this project aswell. This project would be such a great addition to our urban center! I hope we get it... it would mean alot with all the history in the region

But the bus station wont be there for too much longer...(few years maybe)... its all part of that mega multi use station going closer to gateway.

That would make a good site for a hotel... its just too bad that the market for a new hotel just isn't there at the moment... However, maybe they can do like a combo residential/hotel project and just have to hotel be a second phase once that market picks up... which I know it will ... esp with all the new developements to bring ppl in. The polk building is a good site for just about anything... I would much rather have the state take bids on it than for them just to hand it over to JW
