Wouldn't it be a pond? Where would the water come from and go to? It seems like there is a better chance of an asteroid hitting the earth than spending money on turning 277 into a body of water. But I'm sure people would like it in any event.
Okay I’m glad I’m not the only person confused by the “Belk Freeway River” topic.
also, how would you get into uptown… drive through southend? That sounds awful. I guess the point is, there should be less people driving.

All visitors to Charlotte should be required to enter Uptown this way.
Genuine question. Don’t people want this to be a river or something?

Has anybody seen this? Lots of interesting details on the below website. It says ‘conceptual’, but still. Any other insight into the status or even possibility of this happening? This website is a hidden gem if you ask me!

News from the Triangle....
Well after Amazon rejected the Triangle as HQ2 (as well as Charlotte region) they seem to be doing some hiring locally in the Triangle and I dont mean for their warehouses. Sounds like Amazon will open a tech office in Raleigh Durham hmmm after Google, Apple and multiple other tech companies have large and small offices here.
https://www.bizjournals.com/triangle/news/2022/01/11/amazon-boosts-hiring-for-local-tech-jobs.html
""As Triangle employers battle to fill open tech positions, a mega company is stepping up its hiring game in the region. E-commerce giant Amazon (Nasdaq: AMZN) has put out dozens of postings for “on-site” developer jobs in the region. About 50 open positions have been listed in the past two weeks alone for Raleigh and Durham, a review of job postings shows. They include cloud infrastructure architects and database consultants in Durham and customer solutions managers in Raleigh. Amazon has several locations in the region – including a massive distribution warehouse operation in Garner. But much of its on-site presence – at least so far – has been logistics-related. One of Amazon’s new job postings says the company is “in [the] process of locating office space in the area of North Carolina, Research Triangle Park.”""
Shame… an Amazon tower would look awesome in uptown

Yah, Wells got the Duke building back in 08 during the Wachovia merge. They were leasing space in 1 Wells Fargo. They also own 2 and 3 Wells and Brevard St.
No wonder my badge didn’t work. Any idea who is now the tenant of the jukebox?

Taking 10 floors in this 50 story office tower in downtown Dallas and converting to apartments.

Honestly, I think it’s a no brainer, and would be a massive win for the city. I work for Wells Fargo in uptown. The amount of empty space is mind boggling. No idea why they bought the Duke building. The juke box is vertically empty.

There is a general reluctance of buildings large number of condos here in Charlotte since the 2 spectacular make that 3 huge failures of condos towers here about 12 years ago. One was 210 Trade 50 story condo tower at the Epicenter where everyone who had a deposit lost it. And it was 75% or so presold with deposits. The Vue was built as condos sold some then the real estate depression of 2009-2010 (and yes it was a depression for the real estate industry deep recession for everyone else) they could not sell all their units went into foreclosure or loan problems and was bought up by Northwood Ravin and turn into rentals. Some of the few people who bought in there was offered the opportunity to sell back to the new owner and most did but not all. 3rd big condo tower flop was where Skye condo is now. Lots of people lost money here too. So only a small boutique low unit number of condo buildings have been built in the last 10 years mainly in Eastover Myers Park and one complex up at Lake Norman in Cornelius. Rendering of 210 Trade condo tower never built now the site of the AC by Marriott and Residence Inn at the Epicenter
Thanks. I’ve heard something to this effect before, I guess I just don’t understand. It feels as though smaller condo units would be popular amongst young folks looking own property in uptown rather than rent. If there’s such a huge demand to rent in south end / uptown / noda, why wouldn’t there be demand to buy smaller units? Idk

Here’s a another question… how on earth has the below Parking lot not been developed yet? Looks like prime real estate if you ask me. I would personally love to see a “car free” condo/apartments high rise on this plot.
Mon that topic, why aren’t there any new condos in Charlotte?

Charlotte Gateway Station and Railroad Improvements
in Charlotte
Posted
I’m afraid I just keep up with the gateway station / silver line.
is this actually happening? I know that phase of of the station is wrapping up, so I’d assume yes. However, from other discussions, it sounds as though the silver line is a completely tossup.
but if the silver line might not happen… how does the gateway station exist? Am I missing something?
