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.
