Misc. Uptown Projects/News

I get why some wouldn't but I would actually wouldn't mind having alcohol permitted in the park.  I was just in Dallas and Klyde Warren Park was lined up with food trucks and had a walk-up restaurant that offered beer/wine to be taken out onto the park.  Would love to see that at Bearden or better yet, would love to see a Klyde Warren type park over 277 to SouthEnd

Sea Level plans approved on Accela. Looks like that entry patio is being made from some quality stuff, looks nice.

Remind me what Sea Level is again

The seafood restaurant and raw bar from the team behind Growlers Pourhouse and Crepe Cellar in NoDa.

Restaurant on Fifth replacing the old City Tavern. They are putting in a opening right on Fifth so it'll have 5th ave street presence

The thing uptown really needs: one of the new urban-model Waffle Houses. Judging by the amount of activity at Midnight Diner after the bars close I would say there is certainly demand.(although maybe I am just hungry)

I know of a few of these truly urban places, four in downtown Atlanta and I have seen them in Athens and Chapel Hill. None has any parking and they can fit into old-school "bowling alley" shaped storefronts easily. Venting all that grease might be a challenge...

which part of uptown would gain the most from the 24 hr activity it would bring?

I don't care if it's a chain, I would absolutely love an Uptown Waffle House.

Here are a couple more 4-crane shots.

The first rule of grodney dictates I also post this sign I saw today for Amalie's at their new location, with a plug for Spectrum Building Company.

[CLTProductions]

Awesome pics! As of July 22, Amelie's has their building permits. Bring it on.

The CBJ is reporting this like it's their permanent location. . .

I thought it was just their temporary space? 

I'm not sure how clear it can get it is just a temporary space?

 

it specifically says that they're workin with Cousins to build a new building in SouthEnd to be complete by 2018.

^^ Would make for a nice anchor in the S. Tryon office tower in South End.

Except they are developing their own, that has been made very clear.

Let's hope their sights are set a little higher than Avid Exchange.

Its going to be 2.25x larger than Avid XChange (115k) so it better look nicer. Did I ever mention that Avid Xchange has plans for a larger (160k) adjacent building to break down a year or so down the road from the first? So count your lucky stars, you are getting two beastly White Hall Corporate Center-esque buildings in uptown.

That's right, forgot about that. With so many projects in the pipeline again it's a little tricky keeping all the details from blurring together.

I noticed the BofA branding has been removed from the street level of the BofA Plaza Building. You may recall there was a huge BofA logo on the side facing Chima. I remember reading there was to be some retail/restaurant development at the street level, but I can't remember if that was referring to the current construction or some potential future development (possibly this?).

Also, still a bit new to this forum so if I posted in the wrong thread I apologize!

I actually noticed that too. I heard through a source that the Plaza redevelopment was dead in the water, but perhaps I got some misleading information. I hope I did in this case.

Not sure what they are doing but they started to cover the roof of the NASCAR Hall of Fame in green carpet today.

This is what I can see from where I'm at.  They started working on this "amenity" deck last week with the wood paneled flooring and tables, I wonder how far out it'll go and if it'll be available to everyone in the building?? Also saw last week they added a Duke Energy Sign as a new tenant building on the corner of Caldwell and Stonewall, maybe they're going to be on this floor.

Not Just Coffee is opening a third location at Packard Place in October that will serve light breakfast and lunch.  The owner says it will be a "really sexy spot" that will "push the boundaries of Charlotte's coffee scene" whatever that means.  No mention of hours in the article, but their 7th Street Market location is open seven days a week.  They also have a location at Atherton Mill that is open Monday - Saturday.

This will do really well here, I wonder where in Packard Place they will go, I feel like both Church St spots are occupied no?
