Maybe Duke will do the same thing. https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/business/article263870812.html

This garage is even better hidden than Honeywell’s. I would not have guessed that there was a garage at the bottom.

Thanks. Isn’t the garage going to be a separate structure behind this on Brooklyn Villaage?

Can anyone with an engineering background guess how tall this will be by Thanksgiving? I’ll be in Charlotte for the auto show at that time.

Charlotte is rising so fast. It may be time to summon Zadok the Priest!

Thanks.

Every time that I’ve been to Charlotte recently, the fountain in Polk Park has been dry. Has the city turned it off due to homeless people bathing in it? Houston and Denver have turned off fountains for that reason. I’ve always loved this little plaza. photo from charlottesgotalot.com

I thought the same thing.

Uptown Charlotte hotel aimed at millennials back on track after COVID delays BY GORDON RAGO UPDATED JULY 27, 2022 4:26 PM Plans for a 13-story, 208-room hotel in uptown are back on track. Moxy Hotels is a Marriott-affiliated brand focused on millennials. The hotel was set to open last year but the project was shelved due to the pandemic. RENDERING COURTESY OF OVERCASH DEMMITT ARCHITECTS Construction on a millennial-focused hotel in uptown — just steps from the Spectrum Center — is expected to break ground this year after a long pause due to the pandemic. The 13-story, 208-room Moxy hotel will go up at 125 S. Brevard St. near E. 4th St., Birju Patel of BPR Properties told The Charlotte Observer. BPR is the developer on the project. Moxy is a Marriott-affiliated brand. Now, the site is a paid public parking surface lot. Once built, hotel guests will zip up to the 13th floor to check in at a lobby bar (with complimentary cocktail) and can check out the view of the skyline — a feature Moxy is known for, Patel said… Read more at: https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/business/development/article263842327.html#storylink=cpy

Also, Clt was named for GIII’s wife, Charlotte of Mecklenburg.

Chapel Hill is looking like a baby Charlotte.

Ha ha! I think that the UNC business and law schools should be in the state’s commercial capital: Charlotte.

That’s great news.

I agree. Charlotte has a lot to offer, and this new campus should help it grow in this area.

Charlotte is so vastly superior to Raleigh. People in the Triangle forum fume when I express that opinion, but it’s true. Raleigh is a fine city, but it doesn’t hold a candle to Charlotte. As far as parking podiums, I think that pretty much every American city other than NY, DC, and Boston has them. They’re common in Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, etc.

I love Charlotte and hope to move back there from Chapel Hill, but it will never remotely approach the Triangle in terms of biotech and life sciences. The presence of Duke, UNC, and NC State in a small area gives the Triangle enormous brain power, which few areas in the whole country have on a per capita basis. This is reflected by the enormous number of people with Ph. Ds around here. The Triangle consistently ranks among the top ten metros for life sciences despite the fact that it’s only about the thirtieth largest metro in America. I think of the Triangle’s economy as a mini Boston/SF, whereas I think of Charlotte’s as a mini New York. That being said, I hope that Charlotte’s biotech industry grows substantially. It’s close enough to Duke, UNC, etc. to attract talent, and it’s a more appealing metro than the Triangle.

Queens Road is the most beautiful street in NC IMO. I took this last week when driving to see my old house on Maryland Ave.

I sincerely hope that the developer wasn’t bluffing about constructing on spec.

Yes, but the land already exists along the interstate. It seems like it would be nearly impossible to acquire 50 or 60 miles of land from private property owners.

It seems that most cities are building shorter towers these days, including even bigger metros like Dallas, Atlanta, etc. The consolation is that most cities aren’t building anything, and yet, Clt is building tons.

The game-winning goal against Chelsea

NC and SC should jointly build a heavy rail project like NY and Chicago have. If traffic/congestion weren’t a problem, vast areas south, east, and west of Charlotte could be developed. With the right infrastructure, Charlotte could equal (if not surpass) Atlanta. The first line should run along 77 from Mooresville to Rock Hill.

I didn’t realize that it’s that much. Getting a 100k sf commitment might not be that easy right now. It would be a shame to hold up the hotel and apartment portion.
