Dilworth Projects (Kenilworth, Morehead, East)

[go_vertical]

Speaking of 277 and paving, does anyone have any idea what the hell is going on with the Brookshire?  They shaved off the asphalt several months ago and just left it an unpaved mess.  I think someone at project management forgot to schedule the rest of the job.

Honestly, whatever it takes to get people to slow. the f*. down.

I wish they would cut those bushy trees coming off the ramp on John Belk all the way down to the new Wake Forest campus. I hate seeing new construction next to such an unkept area. It’s always a pile of overgrowth and cut down trees from the construction site that looks so tacky. And yes I know they don’t own the land but gosh I would hate to live in those apartments and have to look at that mess blocking my view.

The Morehead corridor has 2 cranes now as two towers have topped off but there are 2 down at the Pearl.

Thought that I was alone on this. Admittedly though, my dislike for the trees and preference for this happening is a bit self-serving as its more so for better views along the Belk/277 drive. There are quite a bit of areas that are more overgrown than others not just here but also along 77 as you near uptown. Maybe one day if or when the pipe foundry sells, some of the trees will go with the development of the property. Highly unlikely though but one can wish.

OMG ! That’s actually the main issue I have with the trees. Around many peers of uptown mainly this area and the western portion near the foundry like you mentioned. I love trees but they just aren’t pleasing to the eye along the roads nearing uptown. And it’s always blocking a picturesque view! Ugh

To me, it is yet another example of complete incompetence of Charlotte area infrastructure.  A month or so ago, a motorcyclist got launched over the middle barrier on that stretch of 277 due to a pothole right in front of an already massive bump onto one of the bridges.  Miraculously he survived, but roads like that pose a much greater risk to everyone due to tire blowouts, suspension failure, etc from jarring impacts from the road.  Plus tires aggressively dart around in the grooves left by shaving off the top layer of asphalt.

Off topic (slightly) -- I have always loved Dilworth Crescent. If I had the money, it's the top place I would choose to live in the city. And the view has always been a favorite.

when they first were sold they were in the $300s and now they are selling around $1 Million each.   Built in the early 1990s and I have always liked them too.

Looks like they are starting level 7 for Campbell!

Interesting some Dilworth residents are against saving a historical building as it will be moved to a surface parking and they are concerned about  lack of parking for this restaurant?  

why not just off site valet parking for the restaurant

Yea, I walked past here this afternoon. There is a nearly unused lot (at night) behind Dilly Place (Sunflower) and the backside of the fire station parcel  is also under utilized (and could be easily modified to yield more than 22 spaces without harming access for trucks or firefighters). The lot behind 300 East has also not been full at night for many years. Plenty of street parking too (I say as a neighborhood resident).

There are about to be 10,000 new spaces (only a small exaggeration) a block away at East/West, would be ridiculous to demo this building for the want of 22 more spaces in the most walkable (and transit friendly) part of Charlotte.

Seems like any business with a dearth of parking here should be allowed to say "if there is a problem with parking, we promise we will lease 22 spaces from the inevitable parking garage going onto the hotel/taxi lot property at the opposite corner of Worthington and Cleveland.

Especially when that lot becomes 25+ floors of residential on top of 10 floors of parking and retail.

from the Biz Journal this morning on this historic building reloction:

""CBJ's Jennifer Thomas reported back in May that Jamie Brown and Jeff Tonidandel, through their Tonidandel-Brown Restaurant Group, are seeking to relocate the Leeper-Wyatt Store building to a nearby site in South End. The structure is the oldest surviving brick retail building in Dilworth’s first business district along South Boulevard, according to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Historic Landmarks Commission. Built in 1903, it served as a grocery store until about 1958 and has since seen other uses. It's currently vacant.

The couple's rezoning request would eliminate a parking requirement for Leluia Hall, their surf-and-turf restaurant that's under construction in a historic church at 1829 Cleveland Ave. If approved, they would transport the Leeper-Wyatt building from its current location at 1923 South Blvd., near Tremont Avenue, to the restaurant's parking lot.  

But some neighbors aren't on board with that plan, according to reporting by CBJ news partner WSOC-TV. Several residents signed up to speak in opposition to the project, noting that parking in the area is already difficult at times.

Meanwhile, Southern Land Co. is moving forward with plans to redevelop the current site of the Leeper-Wyatt building, adding urgency to the situation. The Charlotte Observer reports the council asked for a second public hearing and that, ahead of a vote on the rezoning, the Historic District Commission will review the plans.""
