It is great to see cities like Charlotte, Salt Lake City, DC, Philadelphia and others have investments in their respective downtowns during a recession.

Another great project for Charlotte.

Yeah, it has been very slow going. The site prep was going on in early summer of 2006. The Ritz-Carlton hotel was built first, while the 30 floor office tower was still below ground. Now the concrete core is about 5 or 6 floors high, so there will be actual progress to report about. The tower is expected to be completed by spring of 2010.

initiald thank you so much for making a thread for this. Charlotte is a thrill and I had no idea this project even existed.

EXCITINGGG!!!!!! :banana:

Another nice building for charlotte.

Once again, I'm very very jealous of Charlotte :yes:

Beautiful building, BTW :happypunk:

Is this going to be the color of the glass for 1 Bank of America? Will Charlotte get its first truly GREEN buidling? Stay tuned!

Nice. I sort of like the smokey gray glass. Any idea how tall it is?

What tall building is that off to the right?

Thanks for bringing Charlotte back to SSP, initiald. :tup:

nice building! congrats...

EpiCenter, which is on hold? I am not sure if it has been cancelled or on hold. The retail and a hotel component, occupied by A-Loft, are complete. The tower portion is /was to be a 53-story residential highrise that will /would have been built on top of the completed retail portion of this development.

The tower is 210 Trade. It was supposed to be a 50 floor condo tower atop the 5 floor Epicenter shopping/nightlife development. Epicenter was built and the foundations for 210 Trade are in place but it never went vertical. Original delay was due to lawsuits between the developers of Epicenter & 210 Trade, but now that the economy is down that will kill it for at least a few years.

At least the 50 floor Vue is being built. It would be almost overkill for downtown Charlotte to get two 50+ floor condo towers at the same time, though.

Very elegant curtain wall going on this building.

initiald - Thank you for correcting and clarifying. :yes:

Kevin - I apologize for provided you incorrect information and data.

^No prob. The development in Charlotte is very nice. I've enjoyed watching it over the years.

Nice project. Looks good...

:yes:

I took these Fri. May 22nd. For comparison, the 1 Bank of America should be a little more than twice as tall as the Ritz-Carlton (the glass box to the left of the construction in the first photo)

Nice. The Ritz looks better than I thought too. Also, I've never seen the Epicenter so that is a bonus. Supposedly, 1 BofA should shoot up now. This area of Uptown is almost out of room!

From 6/6:

New facade for the retail space in Founders Hall, and the new honkey tube.

The Ritz-Carlton portion of the project. The hotel is scheduled to open in October, and will feature an upscale steakhouse on the street.
