Skyhouse North had only 1 elevator working for the past week... Not a good look for a pretty new building.

SkyHouse seems to be under utilized. 

They are rental units but not (currently) being rented (to capacity). 

I’d buy a few units but surely am not renting them.  

Yeah it's been a bit rough. I can say that up until a couple months ago Skyhouse was on track to become "stable" (in the industry sense) by September. But going up for sale seems to have put pressure on how lease terms are enforced (re: AirBnB).

Regardless of my own feelings on AirBnB'ing, there is not one rental community in this region (or any like it) that don't prohibit AirBnB in their lease terms. So there's nothing abnormal about it. Also it tends to cause resentment on the resident level since AirBnB guests have no stake in the community. Plus, not knowing who your neighbor is can be frustrating for some.

Also, the word I heard is that Skyhouse's elevators are supposedly an "energy efficient" model. They apparently are not designed for the doors to be re-opened while closing when you wave your hand in front of it (you know, the standard thing elevators do?), which is why they beep loudly at you if you do it more than once... supposedly this has caused all of the elevator issues in both buildings from messing up the "very sensitive" sensors. Has anyone ever heard of such an elevator issue?

More friends in high places allowed me to get these shots today.   Did not realize One Tryon Plaza had a terra cotta  tile roof.  Aerial view of the Trust condos on South Tryon where MJ and Cam Newton live.

^Wow, that tiled roof is awesome, never knew that was there either.  I thought the Trust building had a rooftop access to a  hangout spot up there?  It looks completely bare up there now and considering the buildings tenants, I would think that rooftop would be pretty nice.  Chima is one of my favorite restaurants too btw lol. 

[KJHburg]

I was surprised by the roof of One Tryon Place myself  as for the Trust condos that is a sundeck type patio .   They need a trellis or something up there for shade and some privacy but maybe the owners are not interested.   You could do a hot tub or something up there and cover it somewhat.  

One more from the top. Today

This is not a photo of the day but it's an interesting street level experience.

The Don came to town today. I was lucky enough to accompany my mom to the rally (/s). It was definitely an interesting and truly unique experience.

What is the one day rental for that building? Same question for Spectrum Center?

One of my friends took this pic from the tenth floor of CMC Main. Nice angle.

Charlotte is always killing it in the skyline department. There’s no bad angle.

Bojangles coliseum (really independence arena) hasn’t looked that awesome since WCW Monday Nitro in 1996!  Please note that this post is not a political commentary and is no way meant to debase your pictorial contribution.  Just brings back memories of 1996 and waiting for Sting to descend from the rafters with his baseball bat and trench coat.

This event was a lot closer to professional wrestling or some other sporting event/concert than a political rally. The air was electric and everyone was extremely upbeat and excited. Chants, cheers, singing, and sign waving.
