Uptown Charlotte Project Rundown

Recommended Posts

I have updated the Uptown Project Rundown aerial with the latest. I apologize in advance for including the Center City Partner's proposal for Baseball, Third Ward Park, and Second Ward. :) If the deal crashes and burns, as many on this board hope, then I'll update it again with that news. But for now, this is the plan that is under review by the public entities.

I left the numbers out of this version, but this list of links is very tedious to manipulate, so I'll leave the numbers this time.

What the hell is Ray's Splash Planet?

and Lazes Entertainment

Ray's Splash Planet is an indoor water park built by Mecklenburg County Park and Rec on surplus land next to Irwin Elementary. It is pretty popular and brings kids from all over the city and county. You can see it from 77, and is quite a mod looking building.

Lazes Entertainment District is Noah Lazes' land around Silver Hammer Studio and NC Music Factory. It is all part of his plan to build an entertainment area in that corner. He has proposed in the past, to put the Knights up there. He has also proposed many different solutions to the transportation problem to get there, including a street through the cemetary, and a bridge over the tracks by the ADM mills. Instead, he will only get a new Seaboard Street Extension, that the city will vote on fairly soon.

The only active part of that project, however, is the renovation of the old mill there into the NC Music Factory, and the various clubs and restaurants around it. The rest will just be parking until his project expands.

I'm not really sure where to put this, so I'll jam it in here.. Next weeks CBJ seems to have been custom designed for posters on this site. It's an issue devoted to forecasting Charlotte in 2006 and touches on most of the more popular subjects discussed on this board (including a prediction that Wachovia will make a huge acquisition in the 2006-07 timeframe). There's really no new information, but it's a nice concise package nonetheless.

Wow, I had NO idea this much was going on in Charlotte. It's been growing for some time now, but I feel now it's really cooking. Since Charlotte is now getting some size on it, with the new MSA exceeding 2,000,000, it won't be too much longer it will be even higher on the city scale. It is quite exciting to see a city on the rise.

Great work, hey I was wondering what is going on at 13th and N Tryon, the old Charlotte Seaboard Air Line Station, I know at one point it was a homeless shelter, but I drove by there today and it appears they have added to and/or renovated it. Wondering if you might know what is going on with this property. After researching, I could not find a parcel number for it.

Dubone, once again you have provided us with some amazing stuff. Since I am a visual person I want to thank you for all of the time you put into the maps and images on UP. I really appreciate and enjoy looking at them.

Thank you and you're welcome.

Every time I start to put one of these together it baffles me how many times I remember another project and yet another project. There really are so many going on right now. I even dropped out a number of the completed projects that I had included last time because there were so many. Now I am only showing those completed since the aerial photographs were taken.

Charlotte's growth now, can give us modern people a sense of what it was like for those in the turn of the last century to be living in a "city on the rise". Kinda like Chicago in the late 1800s after the great fire.

Most of us are accustomed to gradual change, and seeing the edges of cities sprawl out, into the farms. Urban rebuilding is just not so much of a shared late 20th century experience in America.

Dubone, thanks for the work and sharing. I was not aware of the "active" spectrum condo project next to the queens law school project in the old courthouse on trade street - accross from cityview towers in Third ward. Does spectrum just own the land, or have they been public about plans for it?

Here is the building I am reffering to, looks kinda cool but I have no idea what it will be used for.

I have updated the rundown maps above with the following projects:

- Novare's 3rd Ward Condo Tower

- Urban Minitries building (I haven't driven by that area in a while, did I put it in the correct place?)

- Corrected the details around the trolley tracks and the UNCC building

This is the best edition of the "Uptown Project Rundown" yet. (I had not seen the update with this new map).

Excellent work.

It appears as if the surface lots will not be with us much longer.

Absolutely. The best. However, the 3rd Ward Park should be where the baseball stadium is. :D

:) Yeah, graydog, I took some artistch licence on that one. Thanks, moonshield. Also, since my freaking power is out, I can't correct it yet, but I drove by and noticed that the urban ministries only take up the western half of that block. I'll fix it later.

I have corrected the Urban Ministries details. I also added that Charlotte Housing Authority plans to build Hope VI residential on the blocks just east of Alpha Mill between Brevard and Caldwell. I knew they planned to build mixed income housing throughout Optimist Park and Belmont. But I didn't notice until yesterday, when looking at the owners of some of the parcels in that area, that they bought that property more than a year ago.

hi cinco, let us not forget the park condos

yes, yes, of course. my bad. if all 11 of these projects get built it will change the shape of charlotte dramatically. turbocraig, i too, have fallen for the berkman. if they use REAL building materials on that project, she will be a subtle masterpiece. kinda of like the interstate tower in charlotte... pure beauty.
