Hanover Co ( developer of The Ashton on Tremont) is planning a project at 701 E Morehead.  It will be the 1/2 the block, replacing the 3 small office buildings but McEwan Funeral Home remaining.

Now this looks to be a transformative project! From the Biz Journal: The YMCA has raised more than $10 million toward the project, which would take 18 to 24 months to complete. The organization plans to file a rezoning application with the city shortly in order to move forward with the development, which would include a new on-site parking deck and renovations that would add roughly 28,000 square feet to the Dowd, which currently totals about 140,000 square feet.

That ain't South End! Lawd, will y'all please learn yourselves some geography! :-)

It technically was included in the Historic South End boundary along with Pritchard Memorial and Strawn.   As with geography all over, some spots have claim to being part of multiple places based on history.   It is apparently both in Dilworth and South End, and South End itself is historically Dilworth.

Anyway.  I'll leave it in both threads so that I don't pick a side on that controversy. :)

Yeah and google maps has the Dowd TECHNICALLY right on the border of Dilworth, silly borders.

Two small things:

 

The house on East that used to house the Magic Maze costume shop (across from Thai Taste) has been demolished. It had been condemned for a year or so...not sure what the story is there. I rented a couple of halloween costumes from them in the past.

 

There is a small townhome project coming to the north side of Lombardy Circle fronting the creek/greenway, next to the CMC parking lot. I got a flyer about it on my door with a rendering that looked pretty good, nothing too unique but high-quality looking, but I no longer have it. Looked like about 8 units. Can anyone dig that up?

Apparently the repair cost for the house exceeded the value of the home.  That usually makes salvage economically impossible... even for do-gooders like landmarks.

This project:

 

http://ww.charmeck.org/Planning/HDC/Cases/2014/2014-101.pdf

 

mentioned several pages in arrear had Allison Fencing on site erecting construction fencing with green sheeting today so site work likely soon.

 

This site had a 100 plus year old apartment building with tudor-ish appearance and burned in a super hot and utterly consuming fire a few years back. The smell of smoke and large bits of burned soot and black carbon flakes rained on the neighbors for several hours. Complete oxidation.

Whoops, yeah forgot to post this earlier. I love it!! It's hilarious how they have generic banners for the retail except STARBUCKS

Actually ZOES KITCHEN is in there too. I wonder if ZOES and Starbucks are confirmed already.

This hotel discussed some months past:

 

http://www.bizjournals.com/charlotte/blog/going_green/2014/03/dilworth-hotel-project-gets-green-light-opposition.html

 

at Worthington and Cleveland appears to be moving forward. There are survey stakes with "Property corner" marked around the site and a 4 x 4 post at the Worthington-Cleveland corner for a sign or marker of some sort. Somebody also poured a new sidewalk section at the same corner. No other activity.

Sad that they screwed up on getting fresh market here, but the building looks pretty dynamite, despite being Charlotte Biege. 

 

I feel like next time I head over to Lowe's and I'm looking for a neutral color to paint a room, I'll just ask for "1 gallon of Charlotte Beige interior latex, please"

And when the Lowe's employee gives you a perplexed look, you can follow it up with..."It's the color of half the damn buildings in this town".
