[Queensbridge Collective - 1 tower, maybe 2]

Noticed that they pulled up dump trucks today and took away most of the dirt on the north end of the lot along with the tarps. Silly me wants to know if that actually means anything at this early stage.

Most of uptown is either back, or about to be back, to at least 4 days in the office. 

As far as Crescent goes, they would have to redesign and build something completely different to go to all residential and hotel. I think they believe that they can get an office tenant. They have received significant interest, and numerous friends/contacts in the office leasing industry have told me that "If we had new space in our inventory we could fill it tomorrow, we just don't have that space." And before you say "well what about 110 East," I don't think they've positioned that building well from a marketing standpoint, and the main contact isn't even in Charlotte. I'll be touring that building May 1st tho, so I'll report back :-).

interested to hear your experience there.

Thanks JRCLT. Just was I was looking for. The old link just went to Clark construction projects out of nowhere. Your fresh link worked perfectly!

Does anyone have a fresh live cam link to this project?

KJ, I would not call that hut " historic".  They might see big dollar signs in their eyes and get your wallet for said historical value

Yo, I've got wood flooring in my home too!

I put drywall in my home, so Wrangler must put drywall in his home.  I buy wood floors, so Wrangler buy wood floors.  I buy an axminster carper; Wrangler cannot afford. GREAT SUCCESS!!!

Yes, I admit it it. You are a better man than I, Now being so kind, can you help me out with with college tuition for the 3 kids i have currently in college and the other 2 that are about to go? In that case , I can then afford more expensive carpet in my home

If i am counting right, this looks like the final floor being completed.

aw I love social media managers. So cute.

Drywall is all the rage, but, forgive me for not knowing what is axminster carpet?

These pics are really terrific, but you get a better sense of how large it is as you drive by / walk by it. It has this thick, bad boy feel to it. Once the skin gets developed better and it is up and rolling and lit up you will really appreciate this addition to uptown. Not optimistic about timely and intelligent development around it though. There is so much opportunity for vibrant life in this ward.

Those of you with talented photoshop skills, would anyone be willing to put the new DE building in this picture? It is a great angle.

When looking at the skyline from a distance, the crown doesn't even cover the storage on the roof for the mechanical equipment. Whoever designed the top of the building just did a really horrible job all around.

It is horrible. It completely diminishes the way I see the entire structure, which is disappointing.

I see 7 cranes in this bottom picture. Amazing.

[Belk Place: Carolina Theater and Hotel Intercontinental]

Yes, even in a pandemic, our skyline is growing.  Cool thing to see and watch. Charlotte is not yielding to anything.

[Legacy Union (former Charlotte Observer redevelopment)]

Almost time to bring this crane down.

I think a really unique triangle or curved shaped hotel should go here! It’d be great for that area.

Ding, Ding, Ding. I thought about this a lot over the last number of months. You nailed it . The design possibilities are endless. The taller and brighter, the better. Problem is the world has just changed for the time being. Real Estate taking a big hit when the world changes. Because of that , I would rather wait for the proper plan than settle for something less.

I'm MOST excited about this project.  1) finally an Intercontinental 2) finally this site sees something actually come to fruition. 

I'm a long timer and this site has been "about to do something" for about 25yrs.

Just glad we got past the 4/1 negative jokes. After all this time, i just was not ready to deal with that.

I wonder if the LU2 Cantilever Top will be backlit somehow or if the Ally Sweatband top will be lit?  Hopefully both will add positively to Charlotte skyline light show

Pretty sure that is plastic yard fencing they got from Home Depot. It looks horrible. They put all that money in a building and finish it off like that.

you know what, my dad built the building, why don't I ask him. I'm indeed in NYC, its pretty crazy here. 

I would love to hear his answer. Let me know. Just hunker down and be safe. It is going to get worse before it gets better. I have been watching the situation where you are and it scares me.

[FNB Tower 401 S Graham St (29 floors - 365 feet)]

KJ, would love to have a lunch with the engineers who designed this and ask over a meal, " Hey, what was that process you had going on there? Because, well, not the best urban/

pedestrian design I have seen lately".

[Charlotte Photo of the Day]

You are right, but what about all the electrical and heavy HVAC that is usually the last thing loaded? Hey it was the late 80's, I guess they had their way but my curiosity is intrigued. Stupid things like this run through my mind sometimes. Stay safe in NY if that is where you are right now.

Someone kind educate me here, where is the tower crane for this project? It seems a little early to have taken it down.

Is that real or photoshopped?  It's amazing either way.

And that is why  the term skyscraper is so appropriate. Such great shots.

the Ellis is flying up the main tower looks like 19 to 20 more to go which is very exciting! 

And it really seems to have picked up the pace recently. This is the perfect fit for this edge of town. I have high expectations for it.

[Legacy Union (former Charlotte Observer redevelopment)]

Really nice pics today. I am so pleased with the Deloitte tower. So many angles and curves. I wish it had about 5 or 6 more floors but I am excited about how this project is turning out.
