I'm not too bothered about Rock Hill plans falling through. While it would've been a top-notch facility, if it means a closer uptown location or keeping it in North Carolina, I'm cool with the delay. On another note, I'm excited Tepper's keeping preseason training in Charlotte instead of Wofford—makes my drive (or train ride) from Raleigh easier. I get I might be in the minority on this though...

Did they get rid of the Panthers' bubble practice facility? Can someone fill me in on what they're putting there instead?

Per this rendering, there will be a skinny plaza between the hotel and other development.

It's not going to block the view between these places, because this development is only taking up one of the two blocks. The other block will be developed later on.

Tower cranes are up at the Weld development (two 20-story resi towers), which is located adjacent to Dorothea Dix Park.

Update on the 27-story condominium tower in Durham from yesterday.

Do we know yet what is going to replace this demolished building?

They have had fencing up for what seems like a century at this point. Here is a photo of this area, which was taken yesterday:

It's been exciting so far, but I can't wait to watch this one grow even more from across the street at my favorite restaurant in Durham - M Pocha!

That is Capital Square's 320 West South Street development, which will be a 20-story apartment building as seen in the snip below.

I agree with you. It'd just be nice to get dropped off right in the center of the city. When that happens, and I believe it will soon, the train experience will be amazing and I bet a lot more people will take the train instead of drive.

I took the train from Raleigh to Charlotte for the Panthers vs Browns game on September 11th. From my experience, and I'm an avid walker, I will take an Uber from the Charlotte train station to the stadium next time. IMO it's not that it's too far of a walk. It's just an awkward one since the sidewalks in that area aren't very great!

Go Heels!!!
