Trademark

I was looking through the webcams and noticed that the one at University was pointed towards downtown. Trademark has really made an impact from that angle as the skyline is now much wider:

I've noticed a number of angles where Trademark shows up that I really like. Coming up Mint from Wilmore it is directly in front, from 77, from 277 -- all around I really like what this is doing to the skyline.

Roof of the 27th floor being assembled now...

That is is a great shot of the city. The Avenue is also going to fill in the "gap". I am really digging this. Add the VUE and a few others and vola' picture perfect. Now we just need to keep adding low and mid rises in the wedges and get rid of some of those pesky parking lots.

Thanks for the great shot Neo.

Here's an update from the 19th:

I love the glass on this thing.

Thanks for posting these!

The indentations on the long side part would have been cool to see as depicted in the renderings, but it still looks good.

I've never noticed (until now) that the tower portion is oriented at a slight angle relative to the base; that's different.

I bet that french guy (forgot his name) that came over here a few summers ago with his family and was going to stay in the Travelodge Hotel would be impressed with the Trademark that replaced that old run down hotel.

Xss...yea its hard for me to remember the ccinn now

and i dont want to

i love this building. the view from brookshire/277 and 77 is stunning. all the glass reflecting really brightens up that end of trade. also, even though trademark used EFIS - @ least it's dark in color... that creamy brown, mauve, toupe, biege is played out. bravo, furman!

[Xss]

Yes, it is me : even if no longuer participate on the forum (probably because, since I do not live in Charlotte, I really don't now know what to say in a serious discussion, and the only things I can say is something like "that seems great, I like it!" when I see a new project, which is not something extremly usefull to add in a discussion...) I am still coming around here and on other skycraper forums at least once peer week to see what is going around, so I am quite aware of all the projects going in Charlotte, and quite happy to see Trademark rising on the CentercityInn (or whatever was that hotel's name) site.

I can't wait to return to Charlotte to visit my family and have a new look to the downtown, maybe when they'll start building the new Wachovia tower.

Anyway : great work Charlotte!

wow, trademark just keeps looking better and better.

[cha]

so is this thing topped out now?

[turbocraig]

^Floor-wise yes, but there's going to be a small section on the front corner that will stick up another 1 - 2 floors. Maybe an elevator shaft or something. Then that little piece will have the spire on top. It should be nearly as tall as the Carillon.

[uptownliving]

Yep, its basically topped out now, you can make out the "fin" part of the roof on the left side from street level now.

And it looks good from a few floors up too.

And it looks good next to Carillon

And the view is nice too from Trademark. On a clear day you can easily see South Mountains State Park...about 40 miles away from Charlotte.

^That's the fin?? That dinky little thing? I sure hope they're not done with that, because that's a far cry from the long dramatic blade found on the rendering and 3D model. To me, that was the most interesting part of the entire design.

[dubone]

I think the fin will look bigger when all the forms hanging off the floor below are gone. The scale seems right to me from another look at the renderings. But I could be wrong, and Furman has cut some costs by reducing the fin a bit. I hope not, as I liked that a lot, too.

[revitalize]

Wow. Great photo. Great building....I love the contrast of how green everything in the distance beyond the building looks here!

[28202]

It is also very cool from this angle how the horizon is reflected in a manner that appears to continue across the facade of the structure.

Great shot!

[Charlotteman]

Any word on the size of the fin?

[uptownliving]

It looks bigger now that some of the stuff from the lower floor has been taken off. I'll try and get a pic this weekend.

[uptownliving]

Took this pic today. The fin at the top is not as big as depicted in the rendering, but it is definately noticeable and looks good. Look carefully and see if you can find the guy repelling down the side of the building.

[monsoon]

I drove down I-77 this morning. It's a quite noticeable part of the skyline now.
