Legacy Union (former Charlotte Observer redevelopment)
SoDoSoPa replied to Missmylab4's topic in Charlotte
It really is all tourists on Broadway though, most locals are in places like 12th South, etc.. That being said, I would love to have an entertainment district just half that size here in Charlotte. At least have somewhere to take people when they come to visit. -
They are HQ'd in Cleveland, not Cinci. I really don't think they'll be leaving unless another city offers a huge incentive package.
-
Not just at Growlers but also Haberdish, Crepe Cellar, and Reigning Doughnuts. All great places to eat also!

With the rezoning request, I'm thinking LED style "signage" will be the final product. Hopefully similar to this; https://youtu.be/rF3ZNiRt-rc?t=28

Vanguard would make sense, they already have a fairly large presence here out at Eagle Lake IIRC.
-
I guess it's better than "CtPa Town"

https://www.bizjournals.com/charlotte/news/2019/06/17/crescent-communities-nuveen-acquire-uptown-tower.html "The acquisition is unique in that it also includes entitlements above the Ivey's parking garage, on the back end of the site fronting Church Street, to build a new tower." -
There’s still plenty of space at the two buildings on Microsoft Way for an extra 400 people or so. Merck was leasing space for a while on campus, but moved out this year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Please Please tell me this is a @Tyrone Wiggum Photoshop joke.... Please....

"Charlotte has rapidly becoming known as a tech hub, with giants like PayPal and Lowes calling the city home." Should someone tell them about PayPal?
-
They haven't started construction yet on the hotel or the church from what I can tell, but here's site plan.

That article is almost three years old.

I really don't think Wilkes County has the infrastructure to support a Fortune 500 company HQ. Beyond that, they have a terrible time attracting any talent to a county that small. They were already have trouble recruiting engineers to Mooresville (hence the tech center in the SouthEnd), could you imagine trying to convince a young college graduate to move to Wilkesboro?

“You have to take care of your home base,” Ellison said. “And for me, I just felt it was important, not only to try to drive sales here, but to make sure we’re involved in some of the initiatives that help to make Charlotte a more stronger and more vibrant community.” LOVE hearing that from the CEO, excited about Lowe's future here.

Any reason to link to the "Charlotte Ledger" instead of the WFAE article he is just re-hashing? That Ledger site looks to be on par with "Charlotte Stories"... https://www.wfae.org/post/brooklyn-ballantyne-story-behind-charlottes-affordable-housing-crisis#stream/0

More good news on the MLS front; Could also point to an expanded Ally presence here with the new tower and more brand exposure.
-
I think it's mostly a matter of cost. A promoter can rent Bojangles or half or even less than the cost of Spectrum, so if there isn't a huge draw it just makes sense to go with the cheaper option.

Outsourcing to GenPact, just another reason not to shop at Walmart.
-
For the city to have a diversified economy, you need several types of sub markets for office space. Not all companies can afford or want the premium office space that's offered uptown, doesn't mean we don't want them to relocate or expand here in Charlotte. The best way to keep Charlotte from becoming another Houston or Atlanta is updated zoning and better transit options I think.

Love the media mesh at this location, the area has so much potential for large events with the Mint, Bechtler, and Avenue of the Arts right across the street. It would be great to close down Tryon one year for the NFL draft like they did in Nashville this year, that was great press for the city.

Shelby Co. is huge, it extends all the way out to Collierville, while Davidson doesn't include areas such as Franklin etc..
-
Agree on South Park > Ballantyne , but Stonecrest is one of the few reasons I still drive down there. It's much nicer than Philips Place in terms of seating and screens. I'm really hoping the new RH building will drive them to update the theater also, because it is very aged at this point.

Unfortunately more officers normally doesn't impact domestic type homicides, which made up 19 or the 25 murders so far in 2019. No doubt CMPD is understaffed, but just hiring won't help in this area I'm afraid.

From what I've heard, they are moving it down South into the Community Blood Center Building after they remodel the building. It should give them about double the space they have now.

Just remember it could always be worse
