Its working on it, I try to go up as much as possible. The EpiCenter should give me a new and better excuse, Movie theaters bowling allies etc. Im excited for it. With trumps hopeful arrival we will get a lot of high end stuff to draw partially away from suburban hell southpark mall which contains all of charlottes high end retail and there is A LOT of high end retail in southpark mall. Fanciest Mall ive ever been to bar none

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.

im with you... get people in the streets all the time... have luxury shopping

Here is an update on the huge Wachovia site. None of these photos are mine.

Some nice project happening in Charlotte, that city never ceases to amaze me!


That is a huge freaking hole :omg:

I was always fascinated by this rendering. Then tonight it struck me why : they took a photo of a street in Berlin or elsewhere in Germany and Photoshopped the Wachovia tower into it. Since they have detailed the lower wing of the building in a sort of slick European fashion with graphic displays and transparent glass it makes perfect sense for them to do that... it all comes full-circle.

Update
 

Thanks for the updates.

I've been wondering this for a long time it seems. It's a shame too because Charlotte has one of the best skylines around.

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:

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.

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.
