Many, many different layers to the plan at Gateway.

I'm not impressed with the parking deck screening. Otherwise, the building looks nice and I'm glad it does include some retail. I'm all for more retail on South and especially along the Rail Trail

Demolition of the building is delayed by a year due to the historic status. This may be bumped up sooner if the developer decides to save more of the facade/building.

Gosh, that intersection is very pedestrian unfriendly

As far as I know, it's still known as Dilworth

I heard on NPR this morning that the four sculptures in Ballantyne at Johnston Rd and Ballantyne Commons Parkway will need to be relocated due to the future widening of Johnston Rd. I think it is to be determined what to do with them. Edit: maybe I imagined hearing this? I'm not finding anything online to confirm this.

The future skyline rendering definitely needs updating, especially for South End

I think I saw that the lights on the crown of Ally Center we're finally on a couple of nights ago.

Hopefully they can get a new anchor with the medical school being close by soon

I could be mistaken, bit I think Duke Energy was going to be the original tenant for what is now ACC. When they pulled out that completely changed the project.

When does this second tower start construction again?

Although Detroit is the official HQ for Ally, I think Charlotte is the unofficial HQ, as a lot of the execs live in Charlotte. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Sounds like you need help

Or they can just ride the wrecking ball like Miley Cyrus

Hopefully the people mover won't be too bad. I'm not a huge fan of the one in ATL
