They are now working on the South Tryon side of the roof

Fully agree with your YVR (Vancouver) case study point. Such a nice, modern airport.

22 floors

KJHburg, we may have passed each other today!

For reference (from today):

I don't recall seeing this video on the website in the past. Must be new. http://300southtryon.com/home/design/video/

Breaking ground Thursday for the new control tower. Construction will finish in 2018, and it will be operational in 2019. http://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/business/biz-columns-blogs/development/article80794297.html

You are thinking of 300 South Tryon. Babson will have the top eight floors there.

Agreed. I was in Vancouver last August, and couldn't get over how none of their towers came close in height to Charlotte's BofACC and DEC. Yet, because Vancouver is so dense and has so many buildings over 100m, the city feels and looks huge. Not that it's an either/or situation, but I'm really looking forward to the densifying of Charlotte more so than the possibility of a tower taller than BofACC. I'd love to see Charlotte head more in the direction of Vancouver instead of Atlanta in terms of urban core (though there are many other factors in play).

Today's update of the Museum Tower (and Ascent):

Sure did. It's my first real photo edit, so I appreciate that!

Shot I took a week ago

Saw this tonight on the back side of the UNCC Center City building. Must be something new and it was being tested. IMG_4341.MOV.mov The video didn't attach the way I had hoped, so here's a photo:
