Ally Charlotte Center (f/k/a Tryon Place) - 26 floors - 427'

I noticed it now is being marketed as a 715,000 sqft office tower... That's up from what it was before, correct?

I don't see the historic plaque that says "Once here stood a Goodyear"

It was previously mentioned they had a LEED cert for 785k sq ft, but that may include retail too

I don't see the BMW showroom.

I think that 715 is only for office, which would mean 70k retail :-D :-D :-D

 

I'm so excited that I've started on my first Skyline rendering in years.

 

Work in progress, but look at how much more density this all adds!!!

What a tremendous difference that will make...and that doesn't even include the possible project at Caldwell.

Nice rendering RDF21....I think Tryon Place would be 10-15% taller than you have rendered.

That would be awesome if Both crescent projects have great pedestrian activity.too bad Westin & convention center are dead zones.

The city should put up electronic billboards or something odd, interactive & digital along the convention center wall.

Can anyone give a "yes, no, maybe" if this will satisfy our crave for retail (as in, anything other than food/7-11/CVS/Starbucks

It would be great if I277 was covered and join SoutEnd to up town.

Columbus Ohio did a cover over a freeway but looks like it only building on each side of the bridge.

Yeah its very nice though and some of the best restaurants in the city are along these buildings over the highway. It looks really awesome.

Because they're saving that space for Tesla, right??

[49er]

There are service tech jobs for Charlotte on the Tesla website so maybe we are at least getting a showroom. Raleigh already has one.

Now THAT would be a way to drum up some street activity!

This is so sad, but every morning I check Accela to see if this plot of land has lit up blue yet... can't wait to see a final site plan, because i have SO MANY QUESTIONS.

To the non-architecture geek... what does turning blue mean? That the site plan is finalized?

That the plans have been submitted to the City for approval.

That the plans have been submitted to the City for approval.

Now I am sure I've had this question answered but for a project like this...how long would that approval process take? Sunny day scenario and Crescent has everything in order.

Honestly It varies quite a bit. 300 South Tryon doesn't even appear to be 100% approved yet, and they have a tenant lined up and most everything buttoned up, at least as far as Accella is concerned.

 

I'm sure the process will be expedited, so maybe 60 days...?

Ah so going on that same line, they dont need to have 100% city approved plans to move forward with construction?

I'm 100% certain you do... I think there is probably just a backlog of things to be uploaded. you know... government people can be bull**** sometimes.

Tryon place won't have their zoning finalized until at least December 15th, and I don't think they can submit plans prior to having their zoning approved. I wouldn't expect to see anything submitted until the first of next year.

I forgot about their UMUD rezoning to include more and bigger signage, and a park along Hill. I guess I thought what Trump did would be enough, or did Trump not do anything to rezone...

Nothing new here, but it's good to see Mr Frazier is keeping tabs on us.
