The building on Cullman closest to the Atando switch is being demoed. Rather than a DH Griffin quick-scrape it appears to be happening by hand and it looks like many materials (brick and roof lumber) are being recycled?

(roofing has been removed and bigger holes are appearing in the walls -- seems kinda dangerous?)

 

Mecklenburg County Oficcially owns the corner parcel that appears to be under demo in your photo as of 9/12/22:

2nd and 3rd buildings over in your photo (with white roof and gray roof) are still in private ownership according to tax records:

Here is where the county and city currently stand in securing rights for both the Cross Charlotte Trail (city project) and Cullman Avenue Park (aka Queens Park; would be a county project:

Blue: land already owned by County through federal FEMA flood abatement grants or City as XCLT ROW

Yellow: floodplain in private ownershi likely still elligible for FEMA grant.  This program offers market value to floodplain property to help mitigate future flooding.  But it cannot force sale using imminent domain, to my knowledgge.

Red: major commercial projects at least partially in floodplain that are already under construction.

The NoDa Neighborhood and regional park enthusiasts have proposed Queens Park, which would include all of the spaces above, plus private property that would have to be agreed upon for purchase. This project is currently unfunded.  But in the same space (but a much narrower scope) the Cross Charlotte trail (XCLT) will rn through and is already  funded (by the City) and in planning phase for this section.   Here is one conceptual rendering for Queens Park with a bunch of fiture North Tryon St development by Flywheel Grou to the north: 

But back to your original question:  my bet is that Meck County is demo-ing the left building in your photo, plus another mid-block (see below in red).  This would be the 4th round of buiulding demos completed over the last decade as they have slowly accumulated land.

Here is the extent of the floodplain in the NoDa 28206 area.  Bright aqua line is the floodplain boundary. The shaded light green is the FEMA SWIM buffer. 

For reference, red dot is Amelie's, orange is NoDa 36th St Station, and purple is NoDa Brewing.  The dark green solid and dashed line is the approximate XCLT path (dotted is still under design, TBD).

I doubt this is discernible from the photo but the tower is connected by long steel cables to four excavators. One guy is cutting partially through one of the legs of the tower with a torch. I doubt they want to leave a wobbly tower on site so I would bet this is coming down tonight.

Went down a NoDa rabbit hole at a meeting I was mostly paying attention to.

Google just updated their satelite imagery for Charlotte.   It is a month or two old right our of the gate, but You can really see how may projects are under way and the parcels that have been scraped.

The name "Abernethy" comes from Abernethy Contracting, previous owners of this site. I went to K-12 with both VP's. They were the site contractor for Kaleido NoDa. They've relocated to 6000 Old Pineville Rd.

(Hopefully the developer and design team spell the name correctly.)

Wow, you're right. There have been like three satellite image + 3D rendering updates for Charlotte within the past year. There are some other cities that are still years behind. I have no idea why they keep updating Charlotte but I won't complain. Looks great.

Avery Hall's apartment project at 36th and N Tryon and the apartments at N Tryon and Matheson.  Plus land cleared for the apartments along N Tryon at Atando.

I've posted this on social but not here. This i my favorite project in Charlotte, can't wait for these 9 retail spaces to get filled, the 209 units are just the cherry on top.

This looks like a David Furman project.

Here are some photos/plans of the project...

 

The low amount of parking is incredibly refreshing, I really hope the other buildings get moving along with this phase. Grading permit filed just a few weeks ago:

Looks to be seriously encroaching Little Sugar Creek; not a fan of that.  Appears to be well into the SWIM water quality buffer?

I hope that rear sidewalk meander is space for future Cross Charlotte trail realignment.  Unfortunately for around 2 blocks in this area the XCLT follows in N Davidson St ROW and turns onto 25th St.  I hope in the future, as this area develops, they carve out space to place it on the bank of Little Sugar Creek from Cordelia Park to 25th St.

Look more closely at the plans before complaining. The FEMA flood plain in green on your map is there with a dotted line, none of the structures are in the flood plain , that’s the point of having it in the first place.

[kermit]

Probably not related to above but there was some significant  storm water work happening today on Sugar Creek on just the other side of the Atando tracks in the Cullman Park area when I rode past this morning.

You should work on your reading comprehension before calling me out.

I am referring to the water quality SWIM buffer in my post, shown here:

 

 

Not the FEMA floodplain shown here:

There is almost no floodplain in this area; it is not an issue. At no point in my post did I say "FEMA" or "floodplain".  so not sure what your point is.

Here is a rough juxtaposition of their project a top the water quality overlay:

I am not a fan of building in the water quality buffer.  not just for obvious reasons, but consistently protecting this builds green space in a way that is clear, consistent and expected by developers.  If you don't agree that is fine.
