^ That design might have been nice 15 years ago, is just played out now. Southend will just resemble a commie block in not too long if we keep slapping up paper mache low/mid rise with "edgy shapes" at the corner. Hoping for some individuality for once in Southend apartment design. Atherton Mill has been one of the few to do it right IMO.

Am i hallucinating? Charlotte and not just beige or all glass? Love it.

Where good architecture meets another bland modern wall of glass.

Sooo I could either go somewhere like the Vue where just the entry level units get you all Bosch appliances, 20 ft ceilings and condo level construction for hundreds less. Or splurge for 3/4 less square footage and "Hardwood-inspired" flooring lol. What are they smoking?

Agreed, I'd rather have a square mile of DC height buildings than worry about the height of a tower unless it has a stunning design or something. Street presence any day.

Maybe once the stadium relocates that'll be the green light.

I'm sorry but it looks like a styrofoam cattle trailer turned on its front end, I don't get the hype. But for you easily offended bunch I'll balance it with a positive and say very I'm grateful they're making an effort for ground level street interaction.

What the fricky frack am I looking at right now? A temporary seasonal "now hiring" sign at Party City looks better.

Yes they should be filled with concrete. They look like CFST columns. My guess is because these column types can typically support a larger open floor area than a typical reinforced concrete column or just steel. They're used mainly in in high-rises, transit construction or seismic prone areas.

If those facades don't survive I'm over the city. May not be everyone's cup of tea, but its nice historic character in so much beige and bleh, I mean blue...

Is Moxy even still happening?

EIFS and above ground parking are what we do best! As long as the street level interaction is quality in terms of material and function (retail not amenities) it makes it more tolerable.

I agree with going the Royal route. Charlotte Town... that's just another way to exacerbate the odd confusion people have between Charlotte and Charleston.
