Dundon only said that he would prefer any team be located in Raleigh. He very strongly hinted that he would still back a team in Charlotte if thats what gave North Carolina the best chance of landing one.

I think it is supposed to be red lettering placed directly on the structure.
edit: I could be completely wrong I honestly have no idea.

Just want to say that I'll eat every single entree at Seoul Food, my least favorite Charlotte restaurant, in one sitting if this is a 48-floor building and if the two phases take 2-2.5 years. If there was even a chance of this building being that tall, they would have never reduced it on their website, in the media, and in every public-facing leasing document available. Marketing a building isn't done by showing it at its shortest possible point, its shown at the tallest.
The residential has been announced as 45 floors (including the lack of 13)
Believe me, I am not getting my hopes up on the office. As I said before, I think the only way this would make any sense is if they found a massive anchor tenant, whether that be someone new or US Bank drastically increasing the amount of space they were looking for (even then it would still be shocking). As for the residential I was saying that I have never seen it listed at 44 stories specifically. Also was the floor count brought back to 45? I thought that they had reduced it to 42.
I was mostly speculating out of boredom but hopefully we'll be getting a CLT Development food challenge video in a couple years. One can always dream.

this office tower is in flux in terms of its size but remember the first 10 floors are parking or the ground floor so office really starts at 11th floor.
Nonetheless, if it really ends up at 48 floors it would more than likely become the third or fourth tallest in the city. Also, 38 floors of office would still be insane in this economy. That would be the most since Duke Energy Center putting it above Duke Plaza and BOAT.
Also have you or @CLTdevelopment heard anything about the residential changing? I don't believe that it has ever been shown at 44 floors. I assumed that the reduction to 42 was largely due to Riverside not wanting the residential tower to be noticeably taller than the office tower but obviously that wouldn't be an issue if the office building has grown.

Metropolitan Partnership just backed out of the 7th and Tryon redevelopment meaning all of this land besides the library will be in limbo for the foreseeable future.

If that is correct then I would assume they have found a very large anchor tenant. That would be a massive increase in floor space for the office building.

They are almost done with demo.

Based on the Loop Net listing not a single square foot has been leased. Whole tower is still available. Nothing is listed on the retail side.
Oof. Still has some time before it opens so I wouldn't be surprised if some are waiting for them to get desperate enough to lower the rental rates.

Anyone have any idea what Jason Thomas is hinting at on Instagram. Is the announcement of renovations imminent?

Cary is currently bidding out the rights to develop a large chunk of land in their downtown to developers. Developers are including portfolios of their work in their proposals to try and prove why they should be chosen. Cary is leaving all of these proposals open to the public. Within their proposal Lincoln Harris had a slide dedicated to Legacy Union and thats where this rendering was found.

Did have a chance to talk to someone on the project, and this is not the final design, I think the scale remains the same, but supposed the design will be "more exciting than this." So we shall see. As much of a critic as I've been of this site, it's design, and it's somewhat negative contribution to the public realm, I have to give Lincoln Harris credit, they are a hell of developer.
I'm guessing not, but any hints as to when we will learn about this "more exciting" design or when they will break ground?
Before anyone says it I know I am essentially asking the same thing twice.

Will there eventually be a phase 2 for 110 East? They look to have about .70 acres left.

The residential tower in this picture looks to be 39 floors so that would line up with what @49er reported earlier and the height seems to line up as well. Where did you find that?

I'm saying it's fairly easy to get the height bonus, all you really need to do is put money in the housing trust fund. And I'm surprised that they put the unlimited in there, I must have missed that, if that's the case, the 400' tower is within .25 miles of East/West Station, so it would be fine.
Ok thanks for the clarification.

As I understand it — and I was on the committee that shaped the UDO and am currently appointed to be a voice/voter on all rezoning matters in Charlotte — 300' is the maximum, which can actually be fairly easily achieved, maybe too easy tbh. That 400' building however, will have a tough road to climb, it certainly possible to get approved, but with its location within Dilworth proper, and the current and future state of Charlotte City Council gradually growing more NIMBY, there will be powerful opposition against it.
So does that mean that meeting the bonus requirements does not guarantee a height bonus? Also am I looking at the most current version of the UDO? Sorry about all the questions I'm just trying to understand how it works.
This is pulled from what I believe is the most up to date version of the UDO and is what I have been referencing:

300' technically but I've seen a 400'+ building drawn along South Blvd that might just test that.
Thats good to hear. Also I should have elaborated more, I know that TOD-UC is typically 300' with bonus but is technically unlimited if the building is located within 1/4 mile of a mass transit station. Although the city lists the max height as unlimited, there are only so many ways to achieve bonus height which means that there is still a theoretical limit. I just wasn't sure if you are anyone else had a general idea of how far a developer could push that. Do you think said 400'+ building is probably about as high as one could go?
-
Was reading up on the UDO earlier and was just curious. What do you think is realistically the maximum height with bonus TOD-UC buildings can achieve?

Anyone have any idea when the architectural lighting will finally be switched on?

The permit for Sandwich Max has been changed from "revisions needed" to "in progress" does that mean that the final design has been approved by the city and if so can we expect renderings sometime soon?
Never mind, I'm guessing it actually means that Sterling Bay have made revisions and are now awaiting approval of the revised set of plans? Anyone with more experience on Accela know the answer?

Interstate as in 485 in South Charlotte where the demographics are ideal for them, the land is bountiful and the StRoads are 6 lanes wide.
Yep, just look at Raleigh's.

Cities attracting the most young professionals
in Charlotte
Posted · Edited by ABCW
Most of those cities are still significantly larger than Charlotte. It is pretty much a list of the 15 largest metros in the US with the exceptions of Austin, Denver, and San Diego who besides Austin are still bigger than Charlotte.
