SouthEnd Projects

Greenhawk has started receiving its Demolition permits for buildings it owns on Dunavant St. This is the first step in their planned mixed use development near the intersection of South and Remount.

The stretch of South from Scaleybark to Tremont will be unrecognizable in a couple years. The projects along that corridor are staggering. Of course, some might fail (why is it taking so long to do the Bonded Distribution and the old asphalt plant projects?), but all told, we have the Scaleybark urban village, 3030 South (final phases), Chic-fil-a at the Cupboard site, Bonded Distribution site, the asphalt plant site behind that, the BlueSky project, the Greenhawk project, the project they are doing the asbestos abatement on next to Autobell, the Lowes and Southborough projects, and then the projects on the Atherton site, Fergusson site, and Tremont sites.

Bonded Distribution is one site so ugly I wish it would just get demo'd - period.

Anybody know what Merrifield (Crosland) is up to at the property they own at the corner of S Tryon and Dogget St? They just got a demolition permit to tear down the old Hughes Supply building on the property.

Here is a posting on it from a couple months ago, with a rendering. It will be all office condos, with the ground floor marketed to retail and office users.

Thanks... very cool looking building...fits in with the rest of the industrial buildings around it.

......this would allow them to connect Iverson Way all the way through to Dunavant....I really really hope that's what Greenhawk has in mind, and that the city and CATS would approve it.

That is GREAT news. Any connectivity geek just looks at that section and shakes their heads. There is such a decent grid alignment on both sides of the tracks, it is so crazy to have no connections outside of the thoroughfares. With Iverson getting a traffic signal, it makes even more sense to cross it with a street. Then, with Greenhawk pretty much asking CATS to build a privately-funded station to help the Dunavant-Iverson area become TOD, it makes even more sense. With Scaleybark becoming the psychological southern edge of the new urban area that no one knows what to call south of South End (maybe 'South South End' ), it is great to see connectivity improving in the otherwise decent grid. Poindexter was approved (supposedly) for crossing the tracks as part of the Citiline rezoning at the old asphalt plant. Then if Iverson can get extended across the tracks for Greenhawk, we'd really have a nice grid with many options for getting around the new neighborhoods.

The area South of South End I've heard jokingly referred to as SoSo by a developer working in the area.

The building on the block surrounded by Remount, Dunavant, and the light rail tracks is practically gone. What's going there?

[queensguy06]

The 80,000 sq. ft. office building replacing this eyesore has been registered to be LEED certified upon completion.

Here is the rendering for 1927 S. Tryon (the 80,000 sq. ft. LEED office building) for those who missed it.

[queensguy06]

Well, that was unexpected. Thanks altrvr, I think it looks rather nice.

[schmopperX]

I wouldn't bet on the shell building being LEED certified.

The interior upfits may well be LEED interiors; however the shell has been designed and permitted

the drawings would have to take a revision.

I know they want to make it LEED but that may not happen.

New cafe/lounge in Southend: The brick two-story home on Tryon Street between Park Ave and Kingston (beside the Park Avenue Plaza project) is going to be transformed, updated, and made into a coffee shop/wine bar with a huge brick patio and outdoor courtyard. Supposed to have firepits, and set up for live music. The plans I saw will remove the existing windows, replace them with modern single pane windows, add double glass doors to the front, gut the entire inside to leave a wide open lower level, front porch will be used for outdoor seating as well as the patio between the house and the street. Parking for the project, for now, will be behind the building and in the vacant lot beside it.

Coffee and desserts, wine (both expensive and inexpensive, I was told "this isn't supposed to price anyone out and the dress code is very casual), light apps and food (no large kitchen -- not supposed to be a restaurant).

Time frame sometime late summer.

is this going to be Charlotte's "dessertery" everyone's been clamoring for?

Have they started doing anything on that Park Avenue Plaza building, seems like that ones been out there for a while? Is it still getting built?

Also, does anyone know if theres anything planned for that vacant lot across the street - across from Phat Burrito?

[MZT]

That vacant lot by Phat Burrito seems to be South End's equivalent to the Epicurean site in Dilworth. It's just so juicy... so ripe... and nothing ever happens.

Ooooh.....I like the sound of that mid-rise. It's a shame that the Trolley won't be stopping at Park Ave. anymore. The little intersection will have so much energy. I just want something to happen with the old A&P building. That would be a perfect farmers market.
