Are any more highrise buildings going up in Downtown, to enlarge the skyline except for the new arena?

[UrbanCharlotte]

Also, whats going on at CLT, any new airlines coming in, I heard theyre building another runway and enlarging a terminal. Any talk?

- Novare Condo project is 35 stories
- 5 Wachovia is 34 stories
- Cornerstone 300 S Tryon is 28 stories
- Trademark is rumored to be 28 stories
- The Park is 22 stories
- 615 E Morehead is rumored to be 20 stories
- Courtside is 17 stories
- Midtown Square Condos is expected to be around 15 stories
- Trammel Crow's Offices on the Arena block could be as high as 15 stories
- Mecklenburg County Courthouse is 11 stories
- The Westin's sister Condo/Office building is expected to be at least 11 stories
- City View Towers is 8 stories
- NBA Bobcats Arena is ~8 stories

Most of these projects are medium to low in height, but will all make a major impact on Charlotte's skyline to help fill in the empty lots and alleviate the feeling that Charlotte's skyline is only a single street with the rest of downtown being dead lots.

Wow, there could be 9 knew highrises/skysrapers built within the next few years. That is pretty impressive if you ask me!

When i started to compile the list, i was absolutely amazed at how many projects there are, especially those > 10 stories.  You should see them consolidated on a map... (hopefully i can post it soon enough).

I know some of these are less likely to occur, like Cornerstone and the Westin's Sister tower, but it will be amazing to see all these projects come to fruition with 5-10 other projects that haven't been announced yet.

If you hang around here long enough you'll be up to date on most projects going on in the center city.  No development is kept secret for long around here.
