This was actually taken yesterday since it's clearer than today's shot. There's now only one more window pane to install on the top floor on the left corner of the The Line office building. On another note, the 110 East to be built across the trains tracks from the Lowe's Building will eventually block the view of the Duke Energy Plaza from my current spot. No matter, I will be long gone before that happens.

What a hazy day.

Updated view from my balcony. Duke Energy Plaza moving along and Portman's glass over halfway done.

It's a beautiful day on my balcony. Duke Energy Plaza rising. ** Note, I did not realize this. If you open the image on another tab, you can see much better details of the skyline. Man, this $850 Nikon DSLR was well worth it!

Sorry, I'm horrible at replying since I don't log in an post a whole lot (Just lurk around every now and again). I can't tell you specifically what I do, but essentially I do IT work that allows me to see the floor plans. Anyway, I knew the Charlotte Metro Tower name was being updated to Duke Energy Plaza after being informed at meeting about month ago or something like that. So many changes I can't keep up with them at times.

Big news coming from Duke Energy some time this week that I can't share with you (yeah I'm a Duke Employee). Stay tuned. If you get the info from elsewhere, kudos to you.

I can confirm there is no 13th floor labeled since I have a PDF drawing related to the work I'll be doing. It skips from 12 to 14 and 41 is the last floor.

Thanks man! I'll be here long enough to see the Charlotte Metro Tower (to be renamed Duke Energy Plaza) top out.

We have glass

Kind of a hazy morning from my 5th floor, so this ain't perfect today. Only a few windows left to install at Lowe's. Portman still rising. Charlotte Metro Tower is starting to get higher and it looks like will surpass Ally soon. Speaking of said tower, once it gets completed, it will be re-named. Good. I never liked the "Charlotte Metro Tower" name anyway.

Bought this Nikon DSLR 5600 just so I can take this photo for you guys. Sure beats using Galaxy S10. Gone other than that little tip is my view of the BOAT. Lowe's topped out. Portman rising. Charlotte Metro Tower is rising as well.

I can see Portman sneaking up past those apartment buildings from my 5th floor "penthouse"

Pretty much hit the nail on the head. You can a smattering of hikers and trail runners. Not only that, during the winter months, it's pretty dead if it's cold, save for the hardcore bikers and trail runners. And I don't have to worry too much about others when I train all day during those cold months.

You're right, I barely see the tip since they added another level.

The Truist name in lights at night is really tacky from 77 and 277. I don't offend easily, but I was taken aback on how the lights screamed at you while barrelling down 77. Somehow, this Art Deco building went from elegant to a "hot mess" by adding something that really didn't need to be added.
