It costs a lot of money to get to the building permit stage...they have to draw up detailed diagrams that are very expensive for review at the Mecklenburg Permits office. So by the time a project reaches the building permit stage the "i's" have been already dotted and the "t's" crossed.

Of course after the permit is approved then almost everything that gets a permit approved gets constructed.

I'll second that. Rarely do developers spend the time and energy to draft sealable construction documents just to ultimately shelve a project. Unless the bottom falls out, projects in this stage more than likely are built.

Some of you guys love blaming EVERYTHING on the evil transportation center. We understand what you really mean though.  Just moved back to town after being gone most of the last 14 years.  Walked

This is a little dramatic. Unaffordable luxury apartments isn’t exclusive to Charlotte and Charlotte won’t be in any worse condition than any other mid tier city in the country if said financial colla

Epicentre has just added seven more restaurants to its complex, according to the observer. They are all from Raving Brands, and include:

PJ's Coffee

Boneheads

Flying Biscuit

Shane's Rib Shack

Moe's

Doc Green's

Planet Smoothie

according to the observer, these restaurants are scheduled to open in 2007. They also mentioned that Fox Sports Grill and BlackFinn Restaurant have already been added to the list of establishments to the complex. IT mentions that Ghazi hopes to have 20 entertainment, restaurant, and retail establishments in the complex.

I haven't really heard of any of these except of the Flying Biscuit which I heard out of ATL. Sounds like it will be a nice complex tho.

Moe's is pretty popular around the South from what I've seen and a lot of times, where there's a moe's, there's a Shane's and Doc Green's.

I've been in the PJs at Atlantic Station in ATL - this is a coffee shop by day and a loungey-club by night. Interesting concept, but should work at this spot.

I have a slimmer of hope that BofA will face the Founders Hall shops outward, put some retail into the Ritz, and then College b/w 5th and 3rd including the EpiCentre will be our retail blocks. Could get interesting....

Sounds like your typical foodcourt fare, but I guess thats what those cubicle rats love. Still no sign of any real nightlife.

Kitty, didn't you also say that Fox Sports Grille was out of the picture? That article would seem to refute your earlier claim.

Well, the poster paraphrased the article. It actually reads "Previously announced restaurants include BlackFinn Restaurant & Saloon and The Fox Sports Grill".

Lots of things were "previously announced", including the bowling alley and an AMC theatre, neither of which are happening.

Still not convinced Fox Sports Grill is onboard.

Definitely so, and i am sure many would like to see something else, but interestingly these places are always busy so someone likes them. I don't like chains at all, but at least this is an increase in what we have in center city and if successful should help demonstrate demand for more development downtown -- perhaps that will bring less chain oriented places and more homegrown.

This is also pretty mall-like anyway so these business types shouldn't be that much of a surprise. Anyone know what is going in below Ave or The Vue? Just curious since nothing that i have seen has discussed it. I know the space below Courtside is still up in the air.

I thought the space under Courtside had been leased to a pizza place???

Someone in the last day or two, in the first ward lowrise thread, discussed a recent meeting where D. Furman spoke. In the points of the meeting posted they said that he said he was still looking for the "right" tenant. I wasn't there so can't say for sure, but haven't heard otherwise either.

The Pizza Place is supposed to be going in the bottom of City View Lofts at the corner of 10th and Davidson.

Furman has not signed a tenet for the Courtside retail. He said a number of tenets can't make the space work due to the lack of parking at the site.

I hope it is something good, I don't want to live above a porn bookstore or anything like that.
