Legacy Union (former Charlotte Observer redevelopment)

Here’s a photo from today. Towards the right side of the plot, you’ll see where they knocked apart some existing concrete structure - almost looked like an old vault to me. Enjoy the photo. -

A few photos - first, a before and after of the rain just after the groundbreaking (mud pool!). And now one from today, where the giant auger has penetrated. -
Duke Energy Plaza Headquarters | 40 Story formerly Charlotte Metro Tower

Here’s an angle not seen too much, showing the tower looking down Tryon. They’re making good progress on the height here! -

I couldn’t get a pic because I was driving, but it appears that they’ve started on screening the parking garage on the College St side, closest to Hill St.! They are vertical silver accents. -

This is fully accurate. -

The Stonewall side isn’t able to have doors because of the elevation change. They want the foot traffic into the plaza, so the doors will be there on that side. We’ll see what comes in there, but I expect a small snack/bakery/ice cream shop. Something like that, I’m sure intended again to draw some foot traffic into the plaza. I noticed that, as well, and hopefully the rendering isn’t exactly accurate. They may want to have depicted the staircase there, for whatever reason. Heck, they seem to have several Christmas trees depicted on various floors inside the Ally Charlotte Center building, so the rendering can’t be entirely taken at 100% accuracy. -

Here’s a photo from the Ally Charlotte Center Twitter account. The area with this transplanted tree and retail space, along with that Charlotte lettered sign with the crown, looks really awesome. Hopefully that comes to fruition. It would be a really popular photo spot for visitors, for sure. -

Here’s a shot of the arse end of the Grand Bohemian. Pretty good looking building. I’m thankful that it isn’t “snowing“ anymore!- 965 replies

Today’s window progress. Just taken moments ago. I may be too picky, but that reflection from the Levine Center for the Arts looks freaky. -

Charlotte’s burgeoning “Canyon of Heroes” developing. It’ll be great to see the Hornets’ parade for winning the NBA title in a few years. -

Here’s a photo of the start of the hat from an angle where the sun is shining through it. You can see shadows of the framing. No idea whether this is the finished product materials or just a base material! -

Sorry, it’s the crane being dismantled, not the elevator. That’s still intact. I’m with you on the concrete already looking ... unfinished. Maybe it is? Not sure. I do see what you mean. -
