If you can find an address on google, I can look it up and let you know.

position? the ask has already been made a long while ago.

This is the basic siteplan. Remember Apartments will never have that much bigger of a floor plate than office. ever.

never was, they just had that up as a placeholder. Its 23 floors

The difference is literally lighting and backdrop. A blue building against a hazy blue sky is going to look washed out, a blue building on a bright day against a warm landscape is going to look more vibrant. Pretty simple. I was at the groundbreaking and the building will look fine. Honestly people are just making stuff up now. Agreed that the deck is too big but literally not going to stop having big decks until we have an actual transit plan.

actually those were the in person assertions were said at the meetings in person and online.

I agree that its great they fought for trees. But the trees were barely mentioned in most of the meetings, I was there. People, including ones with million dollar new build houses, were there acting like they were getting displaced by these apartments. Admittedly I wrote KJ's post and just didn't want to get tied to it, because I get so much heat on social media sometimes. But I'm feeling emboldened by the jerks that are DMing me, so here are some of the arguments that were given: 1. People drive too fast on this road, it'll just be more people driving too fast on this road. (this building will require adding traffic calming and stop signs/lights) 2. Nobody stops in NoDa, why would anyone want to live here, why would anyone want to shop here. 3. We want no more retail, build this 3 stories and take out the retail. 4. Only build single family housing, this will make it too expensive to live in NoDa. (Meanwhile single family housing on these properties would be around $1M, and will drastically increase prices in the neighborhood) 5. the TNT that will be used on site will cause my foundation to crumble (no TNT on site) 6. Dogs will poop everywhere. (so developer offers to build dog park), ew, dogs will poop in the dog park. Meanwhile dogs poop all over what's there now. 7. This will cause too much Traffic (from the person who said number 2 and number 1) 8. We will live perpetually in shade. 9. But the trees provide so much shade. 10 . We don't want young people in this neighborhood. 11. Let the church handle this, it should be their choice. (This literally is the church's choice, and their best opportunity to make money and save their congregation) 12. This building has too much parking. 13. This building doesn't have enough parking and people will park on the street. 14. This building needs to fit into the character of the neighborhood, if its tall, it must look like a tall mill house. NIMBYS.

As @KJHburghas alluded to, I manage a spreadsheet with 60 towers on it (17 floors and above) in various stages of planning (this does include Ballantyne future plans and 1 building in SouthPark)., Nashville has a spreadsheet with 72 towers on it last I checked. Our high rise residential is about to have a massive boom, and our office boom seems poised to continue, albeit with a focus on 200-500K product, with Riverside being the outlier (800K-1M Sq Feet) I have an article I'm publishing hopefully soon in Charlotte Ledger about the changing South End Skyline, which will by itself surpass Downtown Raleigh in the next 5 years. Pretty soon our skyline will stretch from Atherton to 11th Street

Edit: I have learned I was incorrect.

The Observer just posts what the developer gives them they don't create their own renderings It has not had its official gold shovels in ground, governor and mayor in town, leaders of all the partners type of ground breaking yet.

I mean the clients are a big purple bank, an IHG or Hilton Property, Mill Creek, Blumenthal and Charlotte Mecklenburg Public Library

7th & Tryon is Snøhetta, SOM and SK&I for the entire complex. I'm very excited about it. I guess its Odell too... lol yep, and others in the works.

They are using SK&I as project architect and the master architect (SOM) has high expectations for this site, I think you might think what they come up with.

You are correct, and not yet but very very soon

Theres a two way street with some on street parking between the building and Artisan Station. There will be improved sidewalks and landscaping all around. The Walgreens drivethru goes thru the building and into this 2 way street. which will eventually connect out to East Blvd as well, cutting the block by a third.

You aren't going to find renderings with Silverline, as the preferred alignment is downstairs, under the project.

There is no scenario where Tepper builds two stadiums. I don't know why people keep thinking that.

Worth noting this has been in the works for 25 years. I lived a 10 min walk from this and dreamed about it for all the 12 years I lived in Brooklyn.

While I agree, its going to directly lead to some very cool changes for Dilworth Artisan Station

FYI, It was originally Sycamore plus a food hall they were going to operate. Sycamore has always been part of the project.

I think it was more response to the public and trying to meet expectations of the community.

Currently there is no requirement for screening... The standards only take up 2/3 of a 8.5x11 page Here is what the UDO will require.

Left to Right: 1. Residential 2. Office 3. Residential + Hospitality 4. Office The Station itself basically takes up the footprint of the area beneath the fancy pergola and the bottom 3 floors of the office tower, as well as the back half of the first two buildings on the left (bus station is here). Theres about 15 retail spaces total. Really should be amazing whenever it happens.

Its definitely not dead, I ran into David Furman at a function in December, he said its still happening, just working through some issues.

If you can afford to buy, make the investment. Winning.
