    They have been working on mostly infrastructure work in the past year but this year some residential should go vertical.  It is a big project and the infrastructure undoubtedly has been slowed by the pandemic and shortages. 

    Where can I get more info on this project and some of the residential updates? My wife and I were interested in possibly moving out there but I haven't heard anything in a long time related to homes being built/reservations opening.

    Wasn't there talk a year or so ago about updating DP similar to what they're doing with the main library across the street? What happened to that? I thought an architect had been selected and everything.

    The funny thing is that, when you're on the ground listening to how people shop for apartments, and how employees in the industry view properties, it would seem as though no one cares about the things we discuss here on UP.

    All I hear when people discuss all of these various new Uptown/adjacent properties is: the finishes, how easy or difficult parking is, the views, the amenities. And then only sometimes do people bring up: pricing, adjacent businesses/neighborhood offerings (most seem to think of Uptown as a monolith).

    Anytime I bring up a streetscape, or a color scheme, or lack of retail, I always get blank stares :huh:

    I think its one of those things people don't know they really want. Once they get a taste of quality streetscapes and ground level experience, they'll understand.

  14. Misc. Uptown Projects/News

    I'm going to shamelessly bump my previous post because I think its WAY cooler than speed bumps.

    First - Discovery Place and the City picked the architect team for the museum redesign. Check out the article below.

    Second - Check out the Diller Scofidio + Renfro portfolio. Pretty sweet stuff:

    What are the odds we get something truly transformative/unique for this project? Will the city "Charlotte" this project down?

    Man, some of ya'll are real debbie downers.tdy_tren_downer_131001.jpg

    Personally I'm pretty excited for this and frankly any news of movement is great in my mind. And besides, how often do we get what was shown to us in the first renderings we see? It's been said many times before, but not every building could and should be a signature tower - besides we have several already. 

    Also, I like where SydneyCarton was going above with the obscured rendering photo. The tower (what we can see of it anyways) seems to fit the descriptions of those that have seen it. Also, ah59369 liked SydneyCarton's post and he said he's seen the rendering. 

    My spidey-senses are tingling.
