110 East: 23 story Tower by Stiles/Shorenstein

Fence has been removed!

No tenants? No problem! They might have the ability to generate positive cash flow from parking alone:

 

(This does piss me off, I gotta walk past that new curb cut pretty frequently (along w most other Blue Line riders in the hood). This is a nonzero increase in my odds of becoming a victim of car violence. IMO NIMBYism is 100% about the noxiousness of cars)

I interrupt my Nashville trip to post this and I'm really surprised this is for sale.  Look at the first right Stiles has.  Very interesting and I have mixed feelings about this.

I wonder if there's room next to the old Bonterra to move this church building next to the Leeper-Wyatt Building (when it gets moved)?

That's no joke I would love it.  That is the part I don't like is the church building being possibly torn down I wish it could be adaptively reused and a tower to the side where their education building is located.

You could build a hotel where the education building is located,  a high rise with no parking (since the office building has so much), and use the church building as a restaurant lobby area for such.  I have seen that before in fact Greensboro Marriott downtown uses an old fire station as a restaurant for the hotel and the room tower is behind it.    Here you could build a room tower to the side of the original church.

I think the lot would be very cramped with three buildings althoug I'm confident there's an appropriate, nearby location where it could be moved instead of demolishing it.

Please leave that corner tree alone.  I suspect as the lot gets closer to sale, the tree will coincidentally come down with a fungal disease.

You could put a hotel tower where that education building is and keep the existing church sanctuary look at the survey.  Go to the flyer then click on the Negative No Build easement.  What I am saying a hotel could be built here and use the church as part of it.  A hotel would need no parking just a drop off point and could use or work out a deal with Stiles and the 110 East Tower.

Plus with my plan the tree would not be touched as it is in the corner on the other side of the sanctuary.  

In other NC cities they would find a way and places like Savannah you could not tear down a 100 year old building like that easily.

I wholly support your idea.  Form a 5c-3 and tell me where to send the donation Zelle.  Greetings from a flight to Munich.

Check out the views from this new office building.  They have them on their website at different levels looking both towards uptown and Southend.  It has fantastic views as you can imagine.  

Features – 110 East | Charlotte NC

Some folks focus on building height as an indicator that we have ‘made it’ as a city. Meanwhile autistic me sees this (private investment being required to structurally accommodate pre-existing public infrastructure) and thinks we have reached the magic density level of a ‘real city’

I love that we can walk up close to the building now!

Definitely was fascinated by how they coordinated those cables!

[KJHburg]

I think it turned out good.  today.

Stiles has the first right of refusal on this property but here is a view of the Grace Reformed Church and its education building next door now for sale.  

[KJHburg]

Stiles is going to do some spec suites on the 12th floor of this new building.  Basically building out an office for immediate move-in.  As spec homes in residential real estate have been around forever in this country this is somewhat of a "new" concept in commercial real estate.    With the explosion of coworking in the last decade building owners found more tenants like just moving into a space instead of designing and constructing every detail of their space.    Other buildings in and around Charlotte have been quite successful with this strategy like Carillon, One South, 101 Independence uptown and even suburban buildings have done it.  

And with great views like this 110 East building has I think it will serve them well.

During the eclipse, the glass looked like a dark blue!

This realllllllllly reminds me of when the world was absolutely obsessed with chrome,glass,metal shapes/blobs in the early 2000s, I  think they called it chromecore, and that first shot looks like a desktop screensaver from a old PC showcasing  a futuristic skyscraper.

 

building became a 10/10 for me.
