Crane coming down

^I get my shots via screen grabs via

I guess Figure Eight Island doesn’t have its own zip code because it would surely be above this. In SC and GA it’s coastal islands too.

That’s the best close proximity drone flying I’ve ever seen. Yes it’s sped up at times but some of these long shots have no edits at all. Incredible video. Thanks for posting.

Shall we start taking bets on when we get the official news (either through Accela or media release)? I say Tuesday March 5th because I can’t imagine waiting any longer than that.

Who’s going to the midnight groundbreaking ceremony? Only two more hours..

A multiple choice test for you: 1. telescope 2. anti-aircraft battery 3. crane used for window washing 4. @atlrvr beat me to the punch

WSOC with a skyline shot from the future?

Not surprised they hate it. Duke Energy employees are known hipsters.

Good morning via my favorite live stream WSOC

Well, not if the bottom 1/3 is also a deck.

New crane on scene

Good morning via the Legacy Union construction cam

They are epic and I love them. Some absolute monsters around Greensboro too.

Skyline getting it’s green on tonight via WSOC

According to Wikipedia, Hearst is slightly larger than DEC at 1.6 million sq ft compared to DEC’s 1.558 million sq ft. BOACC is third at 1.4 million sq ft. It must have something to do with that or the trading floor.

^Won’t be long. March 1st. Same day they have the groundbreaking ceremony. (I don’t know to do blue font)

Duke Energy’s new tower is the last big opportunity for a new tallest in Charlotte and it’s clear they’re not willing to take a shot. SunBBT isn’t in the member measuring business and will never build anything rivaling BOACC. The only way BOACC gets surpassed is if BofA builds a new tallest here and that’s just not going to happen. This bank is a whole new organism than what it was. Still based in Charlotte yes, but much less focused on Charlotte. BOACC will remain Charlotte’s tallest for the foreseeable future. We’ll be fine.

So I guess what everyone is saying is that Charlotte’s tallest will remain BOACC forever.

300 S Tryon feels close to the center of the tall boys.

I think Charlotte and BofA got the last laugh over Richmond and Atlanta and C&S and Soverign no matter who ended up with the taller building. Note: I still find it incredible the Corporate Center was ranked #30 tallest in the world when it was completed. Talk about a flex.

Man, when is it going to be March so we can start digging? (I expect digging on March 1st)

I bet the 1994 Final Four and 2012 DNC were much bigger events in terms of overall exposure.
