Hard to believe this was previously a tiny, uptown surface lot. Had some good tailgates there. And the WorldCup watch party was awesome. This new use gets the edge tho...

It's hard to believe that the front on Tryon Street was a nice old building that housed Pound and Moore Company where my dad worked for decades. But, he would be proud.

CHARLOTTE | 620 South Tryon | 588 ft | 30 fl | Pro
Phase I of the Lincoln Harris and Goldman Sachs development at the former Observer site.

A 30-story tower topped with a glass-and-steel pyramid will anchor the redevelopment of the former Charlotte Observer site uptown, according to pre-construction documents filed this week with the city of Charlotte.

The documents offer the first glimpse at what the initial phase of the planned new mega-development will look like. The plans, drawn up by architecture firm LS3P, were filed by Lincoln Harris and partner Goldman Sachs. Lincoln Harris president Johno Harris said Thursday that he couldn’t comment on the plans, about which the development firm has been tight-lipped.

Previous filings with the city show that Lincoln Harris and Goldman Sachs are planning an office tower of about 1 million square feet for the site at Stonewall and Tryon streets. No tenants have been announced yet. Future phases of the development will likely include a mix of uses on other parts of the 10-acre site, such as shops, restaurants, apartments and hotel rooms.

The plans and rendering filed this week show a 588-foot tall, 30-story office building, topped with a glass-and-steel pyramid. For comparison, the Duke Energy Center across the street totals 48 floors and 786 feet in height.

The site plan also includes a parking deck and pedestrian promenade next to the building. Large portions of the parcels along Mint, Stonewall, Tryon and Church streets are marked “future development site.”

Lincoln Harris and Goldman Sachs bought the former Observer and Reeves Sheet Metal sites for about $37.5 million, in a series of transactions that closed last year. They’ve since demolished the buildings on the sites, next to Bank of America Stadium, and have been clearing and grading the land.

620 South Tryon reminds me of the Los Angeles City Hall completed in 1928.  LA City Hall is 453 feet / 138 metres tall with 32 floors.   The proposed Lincoln Harris building in Charlotte would be 588 feet / 179 metres tall with 30 floors.  And, of course, the LA City Hall bears its famous nickname: "The Daily Planet aka Superman Building".

When I first saw the rendering, one thing that came to mind was same glass color as 300 S. Tryon? Both designed by the same firm.

This is definitely one of my favorite Charlotte towers, so many uses in one building, restaurants, retail, office, hotel, bar, parking etc. And such an efficient use of land too, not much if any wasted space (heard some critique on the lobby size, but that corner will look beautiful once the scaffolding comes down.) Perhaps one of my favorite parts of the building is the careful consideration of the Latta Arcade next door. So close (hardly any room for a grown man to squeeze through) yet meticulously planned to make sure the historical building does not settle or become damaged in any way (thicker basement walls on that side) On the street level they look almost as one.

I think this has been asked and answered a few times.  It is done now.
