In the second picture, upper left where the text "Auto Service Repair Centers" is, is that being built on now also? The imagery appears to show some type of excavation work.

This parcel is planned to be an apartment high-rise with 450 units.

Does anyone want to play the neighborhood game with the Morehead corridor? Is it Midtown? Dilworth? Something new? This area with the Pearl development feels more connected to Midtown than South End for me, and won’t feel like Dilworth very soon imo.

And to throw an extra wrench in there half this site is in the same zipcode as Uptown and shares the same zoning characteristics.

Land swap that adds to the land holdings of Atrium in the Pearl area.

""The Atrium Health Foundation and Charlotte real estate firm Faison completed a land swap in Dilworth this week to better position both for the future.

In what Faison CEO Kris Fetter called a "dollar-for-dollar" swap, the investment firm acquired 208 East Blvd. from Atrium Health Foundation and the foundation acquired Faison's property at 1011 E. Morehead St. The transaction was completed Feb. 14, according to Mecklenburg County real estate records.

The Charlotte Ledger first reported the news this morning.    

Fetter told Charlotte Business Journal that Faison plans to renovate the 10,000-square-foot building at 208 East Blvd. as its long-term headquarters. The 0.71-acre parcel just behind the former Fuel Pizza is currently headquarters to Atrium Health Foundation. Ketter said the land swap made sense for both parties.

"From our perspective, because of The Pearl and their long-range plans, our building at 1011 E. Morehead was an important property for Atrium to acquire," he said. "We were looking for a permanent home for our company and were able to come to an agreement to have a single-tenant use there (at 208 East Blvd)."""

That building on East was built as the Dilworth Post Office. I transacted postal business there a few times. It was later a gallery supported (owned?) by Hugh McColl. I attended an opening there ~20 years ago. Medical center ownership came after that.

Public hearing was held tonight for the last parcel of the Pappas property on Kenilworth and Pearl Park Drive.

""They have secured a flag 
from Hilton under the Hilton Tapestry brand for 150 rooms. The proposed increase in allowed building 
height did not use the bonus provisions of the new UDO to increase the proposed height. Mr. Gassner 
indicated that the proposed building height of 260 feet would translate to buildings that would have about 
20 stories depending on which side of the building you were facing. There was a question about the mix of 
residential units Mr. MacVean indicated they are looking at a majority of one and two-bedroom apartments, 
with a small number of three-bedroom apartments. The target rent is market rate.""

project has 450 apartments, 150 hotel rooms and some office space but some of the office or hotel rooms can be swapped out for more residential units.  But it seems they have a hotel operator lined a new Hilton property for Charlotte.

Wow that’s awesome! It seems it will fill in that area nicely and have good access to Pearl Street Park!

Does anybody have any idea what the fate of this substation will be? I’ve wondered about it for a while, definitely more recently since now it has development on three sides.

I would doubt it is going anywhere anytime soon.  they are extremely expensive to relocate and where would you move it to?
