I also love the concrete, the granite is terrible though. That super busy granite to me is just incredibly tacky. It's for sure the Hummer and Louis Vuitton of countertops. I guess it's all just a matter of personal taste.
I really like what Ray Kappe does with concrete, livinghomes.net has some good examples.

Saw blvdcentro has sign up for that old white apt building on Tremont. I believe it said Tre House starting at $140k and had a rendering.

In permitting lingo, "pulled" means they applied for the permit.
I haven't seen the Row listed on the BLVD Centro site. Had no idea they were selling them

I went by 12 @ Atlantic station this weekend. Looked fantastic, Going to stay there instead of the W on my next Atlanta trip.

Anyone know what Novare usually requires for deposits? What did they do at Avenue?

I worked right around the corner from SK when they first opened, awesome place! They have a great crowd, and live music pretty often. I know that they serve beer as well, much different atmosphere from starbucks. On top of that They also own Eden, the club that used to be sky lounge. I've dj'd there quite a few times, and they appear to be doing very well.

The building with the most work done at this point is actually the Quad. The Ledge is goint to sit on the corner of seventh and mcdowell.

David Furman said that 3 of the 4 buildings at Quarterside will all go up at the same time. Originally they planned to phase the develpment, but sales were so strong (about 90% sold) they decided to go ahead and build them. The 3 being built now are the Ledge, Quad, and the Row. All 3 will have ground floor retail. About 12,000 sq ft of Retail.
Any idea of a completion timeline on the three buildings?

It was nifty. Looked like a mini-Trademark with green glass. Surprising considering the small size of the lot, but I think that's because it can go right to the lot line. Parking garage, boutique hotel up to 17th floor and then 120 units of condos above that. I forget how many floors for that, somewhere around 18 or 20 for a total of like 35 floors. The condos will be really small.
I guess we need to put this under first ward highrise projects. (grin)
Any word on quarterside?

First Ward Rec Center on 7th St
Interested to know what was said at the meeting.

Imagine how gorgeous it's going to be when everything is done!

I hope people become aware of this, seems like they don't mind ruining their reputation. This could however be great news for blvd centro. It could give them incentive to pre sell the row now also. If I were at the Renwick, I'd be certainly looking at all the projects at quarterside now.

Joshuacc,
Thanks for your information. According to my source, BC was supposed to begin construction on the Quad during the Summer. It is amazing that the Quad and the Ledge would sell at those prices and the speed with a Firehouse Station at the corner. Will this be your primary residence?
Yes, it will be primary. It's no difference between living there, court 6, courtside etc. It's a one way street, the fire truck has to pass many more projects when it leaves. If Charlotte plans to grow, we have to understand what city life is really like. I've lived in dense areas my whole life apart from here, and it's just the norm for noise. Hell I heard the fire truck at least two days a week at gateway with all the idiots constantly pulling fire alarms. From my understanding that is not an extremely busy station to begin with. I also believe you get a discount on your home insurance being so close to a fire station. I know for a one bedroom and an office, $180K uptown is a very reasonable price. I think the top floor units even maxed out around 280 psf. The building has a pool, some great retail space, and really good pricing. I considered looking at 210 and 12 when it comes around, but figured this would be a better deal as a starter condo. I wasn't really ready to overextend myself with a $350 and up psf condo at my age.

Nice pics! Thanks.
Where is the Quad in Quarterside? Supponsingly the Quad was to be built first by Boulevard Centro. All units sold out within a few days. The Ledge's sale is a different story. Any sign of development of the Quad at all? I know someone waiting for the Quad to be built and that person is anxious to hear if a brick or two has appeared. In fact that person speaks so highly of David Furman and his accolades that we are all intrigued with the Quad development!
The Renwick seems like it's coming along.
The Ledge wasn't far from sold out fairly quick. When I reserved my unit there wasn't too much left. From what I was told the quad will be built first.

almost right the street from where palomino's used to be (odell bldg). also right beside the tryon house.
I lived in the tryon house when i first moved to charlotte. what a place it could have been if anybody cared about it. I give it a couple more years until it's sold, gutted and sold as condos. I could even see them adding floors to it.

Isn't it strange that the Type A units (407sq ft and the smallest offered, and which I'm assuming are also the cheapest), are the ones that come with the free flatscreen and washer/dryer? I wonder if their orientation in the building gives them an inferior view so BC thinks they need to sweeten the pot in order to move them?
You will also notice the unit comes with a murphy bed. Sweetening the deal here is not the point. It appears pretty obvious Blvd Centro is using the limited space to it's fullest potential. I know how much Charlotte loves it's 6000 sq ft. houses, but some people are more concerned with convenience, saving gas money, being near work etc.

They actually opened the deli today at Camden market! I've been in once a day since they opened. So happy to have them on the block. I literally never have to leave camden now. I live, work, shop and pretty much do everything on Camden.
