Whoa that is interesting news.  sounds like North Hills at Midtown but most of that space is filled however Kane has room for one more office tower.  And another HUGE project was announced nearby on St Albans Lane which could be that.    Very interesting indeed.  

I believe this is just a regional office.

I would only sort of agree. I would say the small one on Catherine might be fair game, but beyond that no.

that doesn't count. Minimum sample size is 100 units.

I would be willing to bet large sums of money that barring any structural issues not a single wood frame deal in south end will be demolished within the next 15 years

I don't have any specific updates but I think we are very close to getting a large fin services announcement. Similar in size to Honeywell, Lowe's, LT etc.

[SkyHouse Charlotte, Publix and 10Tryon Tower in 4th Ward]

21 hours ago, nakers2 said:

Not to stray into rumors and speculation, but a coworker of mine lives in Skyhouse, unsure of which tower. He actually moved in after I told him I was looking for an apartment there, however I decided against it for unrelated reasons. He's expressed to me that he intends to move out upon his lease expiring despite the inconvenience due to a variety of reasons, but primarily the residents it attracts. Per his words, he grew up in a rough area and the people living there remind him of that, take from that what you will. I imagine a lot of the units are being rented via dirty money and I'm curious as to why. My best guess would be that Skyhouse is one of Uptown's cheaper options, and the least expensive high rise in the city, yet it has many of the "luxuries" that other towers include, and some that they don't, including rooftop pools and penthouse level entertaining suites, covered parking with amenities on top, concierge, the whole lot, but for considerably less. For this reason, the clientele are usually those who might be stretching their budget thin by living there, and those are usually the type to like to show off the wealth, or perceived wealth, they have. Often these types of people are involved with the wrong crowd, and as we saw here, things can boil over. 

My guess is that it's performing very poorly and they have to reach on background checks to keep the place (sort of) full

[110 East: 23 story Tower by Stiles/Shorenstein]

Charlotte needs to have some strict zoning to protect those areas from becoming another South End/Uptown type of location.  The blocks with 19th century/early-to-mid 20th century structures should especially be protected.  And beyond that, surrounding areas should be zoned only for residential or retail; i.e., no corporate office structures.  And if possible, limit or prohibit retail chains.  This could go a long way to helping preserve the soul of those areas.

Not to start too much of a flame war, but if this would have happened to South End 4-5 years ago, we would not have gotten Lowe's, DFA, and another large office user that is out there in the ether right now.

Carolina Triangle???  who calls it that?  I was born and raised in Raleigh, never heard anyone call it the Carolina Triangle.  It was just called the Triangle.  Do people in Greensboro call it the Carolina Triad?  

I should have used the blue text I was being sarcastic. Nobody calls it the Carolina Triangle

Metro to metro populations and of course Charlotte is one of the most desirable places to move to and especially those from New York, NY and I know of personally 2 more that want to move from there here.    Interesting we lose the most people to the Raleigh Durham metro area which they call Carolina Triangle (never heard that before)

This and parking requirements. If a developer wants to build a 40 story residential along the Lynx and not have parking,  what's the big deal?  Seems environmentally responsible to me too.

Can't get it financed sadly. Office you could possibly get away with in Uptown. No way you could get MF done.

I don't understand why there's any need for a limit? I agree with some basic zoning, but restrictive zoning codes are largely the reason modern US cities are so spread out, or that you need to go to a certain "retail district" for even something minor like some cold medicine or a snack. Who cares if someone builds a 40 story tower in Southend, for example? If the residents don't want it, we've already seen what pushback can do to development. 

I'm a huge proponent of density and very anti-sprawl. Don't think a 300' cap is ridiculous. Basically every deal that's been done in SE this cycle has been below 300'.

It must be nice not having NIMBY's there trying to stop height. Here in Greenville, the city made a developer scale back two planned 20 story buildings to 12 stories. Yeesh.

Wonder if WeWork is the first domino that starts the looming recession, like pets.com did with the dot com bust.

I highly doubt it tbh. A WeWork implosion impacts a very narrow portion of the US commercial real estate market (Class A/B office in gateway markets), let alone the entire commercial real estate market, which is itself a minority portion of the US economy. Can't see how WeBankrupt going under impacts, for example, residential real estate in Dallas or industrial warehouses in Pennsylvania for example.

I didn’t see London or New York listed as potential cities for Sherwin Williams relocation.  There’s a reason Charlotte, Atlanta,  and Dallas come up so frequently for large domestic company relocations.  What Mr. Boyd is saying is not groundbreaking and has been said before by others.

Now that I’ve moved the goalposts back to their original spot, CLT is a whole heck of a lot closer to DFW and ATL in terms of needed destinations served NONSTOP, and on a more business friendly (I.e. frequent) timeline than RDU is.  Sorry. 
 

 

Correct, Mr. kickazzz
