Furman Condo/Hotel Tower

So it will actually have the name "Concourse" on a side panel sideways? Pretty cool.

I liked that sign, too. It will really be a placemarker in time.

::gulp:: no rendering of the backside

[krazeeboi]

^LOL, you're right, I didn't notice that. But if the Courtside to Trademark evolution is indicative of anything, I don't think there will be much to worry about.

It would indeed be nicer if it was 10 stories taller. It's a beautiful building though, and I'm fairly positive the back will be pleasing, like that of the Trademark.

This building reminds me of a fat, yet attractive, troll. Could be better, but not bad.

[Charlotteman]

^^^A troll???? Nah.....

[Seabreeze]

The only problem that I have with the issue of the 'backs of his buildings' being designed poorly or less flattering than the front is the fact that there is a 'back' to begin with. None of the other projects by other companies seem to even have this problem... none that I can think of anyways. I have a certain hesitation to announcements made by this company, and what seperates Courtside and Trademark was that there has always been renderings of the back side of Trademark...I guess I just don't like surprises... especially ugly skyline scarring ones.

^You do have a point. Arlington may be a pink box, but we don't have to worry about a nasty backside facing Uptown or SouthEnd.

[SmellyCat]

Man...tough crowd.

I think there is a backside rendering, and it is identical to the front:

[dubone]

Actually that is the front. The arena would be in the left from that perspective. However, I do agree that the yet-unseen 'backside' would match this, only be a mirror image, based on the floorplans.

When did they say construction would likely start?

[atlrvr]

This summer I think.....have these sold well?

I didnt think furman would do another highrise after TM, so I was surprised he was even in the running for the site. But I heard these were doing farely well, despite the odd location. I want to see the construction on this thing.

So does anyone know when construction of Concourse will begin?

Does anyone on this forum actually live in a David Furman condo and if so, are you happy with the quality. I am considering purchasing one of his current projects in Winston-Salem and was wondering about the quality of his projects. Does he use soundproofing to minimize sound transmission through walls and floors. Looks like he takes alot of steps to cut costs by using cheap materials. With all of the other projects underway in Winston-Salem most are concrete and steel construction which minimizes sounds transmission and are not priced much higher than Blvd Centro projects. Any info that anyone has to share on his projects would be helpful in making a decision.

We are in the process of finishing out a unit in Trademark. The base materials are OK for a mid-high rise project with concrete slabs and reinforced concrete collumns. Where there was an adjoining wall we opted to have wall insulation added at an additional cost. I can't speak to a lower rise project. Generally speaking I think you get what you pay for -we could have spent more for the same space in another more upscale project - instead we opted to pay to upgrade the space in his project.

From what I have been hearing, this project is on the shelf indefinitely . I don't know any of the particulars about the situation, but it seems that the market is not strong enough for another Furman tower yet.
