What is happening at the former Melrose Place site next door? It was a dormant site the last time I drove by. Does this Mobil/Circle K have any connection?

At the main restrooms, there are 24 wc's and 24 lav's each, at just over 1,400 SF each.

There's your answer to Project Rabbit! Sorry I couldn't divulge earlier! Excited to see this project come to life! You should see the size of the restrooms...

I'm not a skater at all, but this is my guess on the proposed location, by Sugar Creek Station.

Nope.

Welcome home, Charlotte FC!

What an incredible atmosphere tonight!

This building is the new location of BB&M Architecture. Designed by BB&M; GC is Doerre. Former Raycom Sports building. https://www.bbm-arch.com/project/1900-west-morehead/

@KJHburg I wish I could make next week's meetup! BestCo, Sherwin Williams, Eli Lilly, and Project Rabbit are all our projects. In the last month and a half alone, over 3M SF of warehouses has passed through the office, not counting any of these EDC projects. E-commerce boom.

You might be referring to Camden South or Mosaic South along S Tryon between Carson and Bland, so I could see Junction 1504 getting split up and redeveloped. It's a long stretch of garden style-apartments and surface parking.

Yes, Selwyn UMC merged with Grace UMC in 2020 to become Woodlawn Community Fellowship, located at Grace's campus at 737 E Woodlawn Road. https://www.bizjournals.com/charlotte/news/2021/10/04/church-merger-leads-to-new-townhome-community.html

Does this mean that the Charlotte Engineering Early College's plans to relocate to this land is dead? Is it staying in the bricked-up trailers beside CRI Deck?

Raleigh has precedent for this: https://www.dudapaine.com/portfolio_page/the-dillon/ Before: After:

There it is!! Proud to be a part of this project. Renderings will be released soon. Sizes fluctuate. Haven't checked them in awhile. But over 800k SF is still over 4x larger than Kroger at 200k. Pharmaceutical manufacturing is different than a fulfillment/distribution center. There's a reason why North Carolina had the nation's top business climate in 2021, according to Site Selection magazine, and the void of Philip Morris is proving to be fruitful for Cabarrus County and the Charlotte metro area. https://siteselection.com/press/releases/211101.html SITE SELECTORS' TOP LOCATION CRITERIA FOR 2021 1. Workforce skills 2. Transportation infrastructure T3. Workforce development T3. Ease of permitting and regulatory procedures 5. Utilities (cost, reliability) 6. Right-to-work state T7. Higher education resources T7. State and local tax scheme T9. Economic development strategy T9. Land/building prices and supply

Someone else.

I have 2 season tickets for their inaugural season. I'll also be traveling to DC for the first game along with a few friends. Mint City Collective is organizing fans to attend away games, including the first one. https://mintcitycollective.com/

Can we talk about how hideous the new paint scheme is at the Elizabeth Station apartments (formerly Venue)? The Elizabeth community wrote the ownership/management a letter criticizing their new paint job that sticks out like a sore thumb in their neighborhood. Under new ownership and management, complaints about these apartments have been numerous, including trash issues and the like. (See last photo.) One resident even placed a sign one day in protest of the new management outside the building that read: "The worst apartments in Charlotte!" They apparently have only one maintenance person on duty for the entire complex. Has anyone else heard anything about this?

We talk about the realities of burying poles, but Duke Energy has no problem at all repairing the same poles over and over again numerous times per year following fatal car accidents. Multiple-times per year, some car snaps a pole in half along South Blvd and power goes out to thousands. It's been documented in the South End Midrise thread. Fortunately, ice storms aren't as common here anymore. Duke Energy has no problem leaving thousands of their poles 1 inch off the back of curb along busy roads with already-narrow lanes - as if that's acceptable urban design? That's a problem in itself. There has to be a better solution in fast-urbanizing areas. As an architect, I can't tell you how many projects we opt to use the final rendering for marketing because the the power lines make the completed photos look terrible. Thank goodness for Photoshop. I say all this as Duke/Asplundh just trenched my backyard this week to absolutely-butcher trees along our rear fence line under a power line. They left tree debris everywhere for several days until we called and complained.

CP&F Oakboro is supposed to be operational by the spring of 2023. I wouldn't imagine the Charlotte foundry will be completely vacated until at least fall/winter 2023. I'm an architect on the Oakboro project. It broke ground June of last year. https://wgmdesign.com/charlotte-pipe-foundry-oakboro/

Welcome to SouthPark 2.0. I'm sure LS3P has had to handcuff themselves while obeying Lincoln Harris' demands. I discussed this with an LS3P Charlotte employee a few years ago when the original design of the main tower was released amidst all the public criticism (scroll back about 250 pages). The unnamed employee gave me the look and basically said they do what they're told.

One of those.

To clarify: Not jobs, but total building area. Manufacturing. I'll leave it at that. Announcement probably Q2 2022.

Fortunately something else. 6X larger than Kroger's facility.

Soon. I'm aware of another one in the works in the Charlotte area. No blue font here.

My firm (WGM Design) is working on a couple aerospace-related projects in the Charlotte area. Collins Aerospace is in the middle of an 18,000 SF renovation to their Monroe facility, and TAG Aero is going into a 40,000 SF building in Rock Hill. https://www.bizjournals.com/charlotte/news/2021/07/14/collins-aerospace-monroe-expansion-investment.html There are several aerospace companies here. They just stay under the radar. *pun intended*
