    Thanks. In NY, they go several stories below ground deep into the bedrock (and there's never parking -- that's just for the building). Since Charlotte doesn't even have bedrock, I assumed that they would need to dig a foundation at least 50' deep and line it with concrete and rebar, etc. Is that not the case?
  2. edmundblackadder1999
    I assume that the foundation, etc will take a year to excavate and then pour. If so, this should start to actually rise in 2018. Is that correct?

    Are you guys talking about the tower at the Observer site?
  4. edmundblackadder1999
    Thanks, KJ. All developers in NY use it and the Israeli bond market. It's a form of financing in which foreigner individuals pay around $500,000 in return for a Green Card.

    Wow. For a full construction loan? If so, construction should start within a few months. Rick, do Charlotte developers use vehicles like EB-5 and Israeli bond offerings, or do they primarily use traditional bank financing methods?
  6. edmundblackadder1999
    In that they've secured financing?

    Beautiful photos

    Nice photo!

    Thanks for the info, Clt. Is the Odell Plaza clad in real stone or synthetic material? It looks great IMO.
  11. edmundblackadder1999
    Odell, the Observer tower, or both?

    Thanks, Rick. PS: I didn't know that you wrote that article. Personally, I think I'm one of the few people who likes this tower. Also, while granite or limestone would have been nice. Polished concrete looks good too. Consider 99 Church Street or 432 Park in NY. Isn't this tower's shorter twin, Odell Plaza, polished concrete as well?

    Does anyone know: (1) what else will be built on this site (e.g., just retail, apartments, and a hotel or more offices too); and (2) when the other buildings are expected to rise? Thanks

    Thanks. That's good news.

    I think it would have been very feasible. I'm not talking about the scale of the buildings. I'm referring to the 1m sf of retail in just the mall alone, let alone in the surrounding HY buildings, and the amazing new sculpture. I like the new tower for the Observer site, but it needs way more retail than 250k scattered among various buildings.

    I was hoping that the Observer site would be like a mini Hudson Yards.

    Razing those log cabins was a good thing. Charlotte looked like Tobaccy Road.

    Great photos.
  19. edmundblackadder1999
    I agree
  20. edmundblackadder1999
    Yes, but to this today (let alone 20 years ago), there are (and were) scores of empty lots surrounding Uptown. When I first visited in 1993, there were parking lots everywhere. I assume that was the case when that old building was razed in the 60s.
  21. edmundblackadder1999
    Charlotte would be so much nicer if it had old buildings like that. In such a small city with lots of empty land, there was no reason to raze great, old buildings.
  22. edmundblackadder1999
    Great photo! This building would have been even better if that one side were completely curved.
  23. edmundblackadder1999
    I agree.
  24. edmundblackadder1999
    Nice photo!

    These buildings are very nice.
