CHARLOTTE | Development Summary

good to see a charlotte thread here.....there's much to keep track of. thanks!
|
Damn, those towers are gorgeous!!
|
Nice to finally see a Charlotte thread. I didn't know BofA Superblock or the Overture already began construction.
|
Most of those look pretty good. It will help enhance Charlotte's cosmopolitan image greatly.
|
what about Trump's tower? does anyone have pics of it?
|
Update: 5/28/07
Added a couple renderings I was missing: -Trinity Parners (500W. Trade) development 20-30 Stories X2 (Two Possibilities) -Ghazi's SouthPark tower 16-18 Stories -Also site work has begun at Royal Court, once they begin making substantial progress here I'll move it up into the U/C Area. -Official Groundbreaking for The Vue has been set for July 12th 2007. Minimal Site prep and demolition of existing structures has commenced. Will move it up to U/C when Excavation begins. -Trump rumor has been confirmed (Charlotte Observer, City Officials) and they have been in town feeling out the market. Possibility of more information in the next few months. |
By the way the condo tower for Wachovia is underconstruction. Both towers are being built at the same time.
|
Thanks for putting this together. I'm sure it was a lot of work!
Hopefully we'll have some Trump renderings to post soon... |
Hmm, really wish they wouldn't have combined these two threads considering none of the photos work in the other post. Can anything be done about this? It was slipping away into the archives but then one of the mods brought them together unfortunantely.
Ohh well, As per the wachovia condo's I'm waiting untill excavation of the entry ramp is done before I'm adding it to the u/c list since no work has been done specifically for that portion thus far. Should be another month or so. |
^
There were two threads on the topic so I combined them a few days ago. But yeah, you're right, the other one was a pretty useless thread so I just un-merged them and trashed the other one. |
Construction updates from urbanplanet.org forum

Thanks for transferring all the updates over here. There is a lot going on down there but no one covering it. One of my best buddies just moved to Charlotte but he's not at all interested in buildings and construction so he'll be of no help. Hopefully there will be some more active Charlotte forumers, otherwise keep up the updates.
|
Thanks, SMS, for starting this thread. Charlotte already has an outstanding skyline for a city its size, and looks to only get better. There are cities many times bigger that would kill to have Charlotte's skyline. I especially like One Charlotte Tower. :tup:
And a request: could you please make the Spirit Square rendering smaller? Something that blurry and big is not nice on the eyes. :koko: |
Tons of awesome towers going up in Charlotte! Can't wait to see it's skyline progress.
|
I'm also keeping my eye on the Charlotte thread, despite all the great projects, the Wachovia project I am most excited for and will be the most fun to watch rise!
That's cool in the Wachovia project construction update you can see the tunnel that was mentioned on Emporis. |
Hang on, what did I miss ? Will Wachovia feature a pedestrian tunnel under Tryon ?
|
Alright guys, made a quick update:
-Added/changed info on 15 story Sierra hotel on the small arena parcel -Changed BOFA Superblock rendering to a newer (Nicer/smaller) one Other things to note. -I've seen the newer rendering for the ritz on the contactors website and its nice, almost as nice as the original proposal but still much better then the previous glass box representation. Another thing to note is the BofA is seeking LEED Platinum certification for their superblock project. Very few bldg's reach this certification. I hate that we don't have a height for the office tower yet but I'd guess its in the 470-510 range. The first major pooring of concrete for the hotel foundation took place the other night. -The wachovia first street project is moving quickly (As seen in the above pictures, thanks btw.) The tower portion has reached ground level at one corner. Expect it to start rising above ground in another month or so. Clearing is still taking place for the condo portion but I'll move it up to U/C as soon as they get underway (Trust me). -Novare's 3rd ward project will be accelerating soon with the arrival of mobile cranes and caison equipment onsite this last week. Catalyst caison and foundation work should be well underway in the coming months with the 15 floor Office tower starting the begining of 08 and the 39 story Twelve following soon after. -300 S. Tryon site has been seeing some action with soil sampling and the arrival of construction trailors and mobile crane equipment. They have some clearing work to do onsite but this is def. a step in the right direction. This is one of my favorite projects as it will fill in one of the last surface lots along tryon street and help fill out Charlotte's smile a little. -Nascar HOF site has been cleared and excavation has begun for the underground parking garage. Should be a while before they start actual structural construction however work is well under way. -The park condo's have toped out.... wow.... Many people where happily proved wrong on this one. Even though the tower isn't that tall (270ft) its definitely making its presence known. -Trademark should be 100% complete soon, so I'm anxiously awaiting when I can remove it from the list. Avenue still has a while to go (Interior finishing wise) but should be finished by the end of the year. (That blue glass is glorious, great tower) Thats all the new news I have.... or could remember at least. |
heres a few pics of avenue (?) from my recent trip across the US
taken july 30th i guess you can see trademark in this one too http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/9745/pict2553gl0.jpg http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/1686/pict2554mb7.jpg http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/9716/pict2559fu8.jpg i dont know if this has been said before (probably has) but the wachovia office tower looks really f-in good. While driving around Charlotte we saw 2 very deep holes around the downtown area. Judging by the pictures in this thread I'm going to guess that they were Wachovia and BofA. |
That's an impressive list. There seems to be a LOT happening there. It seems that Charlotte is hitting another level and hitting a stride.
Has retail been developing as well? Is the area a destination for locals (other than sport and work)? |
Some construction activity in uptown Charlotte.

I wish southpark was demolished and all of those stores were put in downtown. But we know that wont happen anytime soon. O well at least there are some good places to shop in south end, like niche and american apparel. They're not high end but i like them.
|
The vue is starting construction.

A few more things:
I don't think there were any renderings posted of the new Bank of America tower and Ritz-Carlton hotel that are under construction: http://www.pbase.com/bz3rk/image/93985955.jpg http://www.pbase.com/bz3rk/image/93985947.jpg http://www.pbase.com/bz3rk/image/93985948.jpg http://www.pbase.com/bz3rk/image/93985959.jpg Here is a rendering of the new AAA Baseball stadium uptown: http://www.pbase.com/bz3rk/image/93985964.jpg This shows the locations of the new Wachovia tower, and the plan for the 3rd Ward Park and baseball stadium, along with the multimodal station which will be the terminus of the north commuter (heavy rail) line and I believe will also serve the proposed streetcar lines. http://www.pbase.com/bz3rk/image/93985963.jpg And while I'm mentioning transit, here is a map of the transit plan. The dark blue line in currently in service. The next two lines to go into service will be the extention of the blue line northeast (2013) and the north commuter line (purple) in 2012. It is still unclear how far north it will go, as there is some debate by Mooresville/other about funding stations. http://www.pbase.com/bz3rk/image/93683522.jpg Large version is here: http://www.charmeck.org/NR/rdonlyres...p2242X3000.gif And finally, a few construction webcams: Catalyst: http://oxblue.com/pro/open/?webPath=novare/catalyst 210 Trade/Epicenter/Aloft Hotel (can also see Ritz-Carlton and BofA site: http://oxblue.com/client/flahertycollins/twotentrade/ Royal Court (which gives a good view of part of uptown. You can see Nascar, Wachovia, and Catalyst) http://oxblue.com/pro/open/?webPath=...epp/royalcourt |
Are there any renderings or construction pictures of that new 764 footer?

Great updates. I was down at lake Wylie the week before st. patrick's day. I can't believe I forgot my camera.
|

Yeah, there have been rumors about the rendering initially in a full page add in the PGA Wachovia Championship brochure, with the website www.trumpcharlotte.com going live sometime early this morning. Another interesting thing is when I first looked at the website this morning, I remember seeing in the 2nd rendering, a distinctive silhouette of the Westin to the right of the towers. Now the image has been changed. Could this be because of a relocation of were the project will be built?
|
Wow, thats actually kind of sweet. Looks easily a 1000'er without that spire. It looks a little bit like the "filler" buildings that were in Libeskind's WTC plan, but they look more well thought out and I am digging the expressed structural diagrid.. they would probably look somewhat refreshing in Charlotte.
|
WOW! I really hope it becomes a reality! Its stunning! I love it
|
|
The Trump buildings look like they were designed by Sir Richard Rogers, does anyone know if this is so?
|
No, they were done by Little & Associates.
|
Several parcels of land uptown, which are being freed up by rerouting I-277 ramps, have been sold by the city. Development plans include a hotel and mixed use projects. Here is a video promoting the parcels of land, and include not only great renderings of the Charlotte skyline of the near future, but an idea of what might be done with these parcels of land. Well worth watching:
