One of five spots they’re drilling in the 501 S Caldwell lot today, any updates on what MVC might be putting here?

OTOH, at least it leaves the art visible! When/ if the hotel is built the art will only be visible from a small angle. Also- worth noting that this is following the lead of the Hilton Garden Inn / Hampton Inn/ Madison, which had the Madison portion as a skeleton with a clock on it for many years. Maybe this area likes concrete skeletons?

First Ward Urban Village / North Tryon Vision Plan
enicideme replied to uptownliving's topic in Charlotte
Amen. I love First Ward Park. I pick one child up at FUMC daycare, and a second child up at Lab School. We often stop at FWP before the train ride home. Please. . .Shut off 8th between College and Brevard. I’ve spoken to the city about this, and their position is that they have signs up, that’s enough! Closing this street would be a huge win for families using First Ward Park. -
Exactly. This time is very different imho. My two cents: Massive numbers of pricey apartments, very few places to actually buy. Go on Zillow and look for 3+ bedrooms for sale uptown (28202). From personal experience, if you’re looking for a 3/4 bedroom condo in uptown or very close-in, you have single digits to choose from, and those are often far, far above $1mm. I’ve been here since 2002, but if I was looking to move here now, with a family, and live uptown? Very difficult. Before the crash, there were more choices. Still expensive, but they were there - Vue, Element, and a few others. Now, there are a few small complexes that are very expensive. If I wanted to move here and take a job in Charlotte, live downtown, and bring my family, it would be tough.

Counting from the bottom left... up to 14th floor. The original crane was taken down yesterday. Hard to picture the crane there now being tall enough for 8 more floors.

First Ward Urban Village / North Tryon Vision Plan
enicideme replied to uptownliving's topic in Charlotte
That street in the middle of the playground areas is terrible. We go to that parks with our kids frequently and I cannot understand why there is a road there. It could at least be blocked off except for special times. Is there any chance of that changing? I'm not even sure who to speak with about this, does anyone have any suggestions? -
Legacy Union (former Charlotte Observer redevelopment)
enicideme replied to Missmylab4's topic in Charlotte
This is a big, big, big deal for parents. Part of the reason we moved here is we wanted uptown but a good school district. Luckily my oldest won a lottery and is in an awesome charter school. But schools will def make a difference to those who started uptown, and want to continue here with their families. -

I've lived uptown for 16 years, and near Stonewall for the last year. Exciting to see the number of under-construction projects I can now see from my balcony. 500 N Morehead, YMCA expansion, Camden Grandview condos, Crescent Stonewall, Northwood Ravin, Actors Theatre. Very exciting! Pics taken this morning.
