The AC Hotel is a sharp looking building.  It is hard to get a picture of the front because they left most tress, but it has a nice street presence considering it is on a side road.  Also, there were some professionals with clipboards walking around pointing at Rexford I which Childress Klein bought earlier this year.  Hopefully they get moving on construction soon.

What’s going on with the ski slope church ? Drove by yesterday and can’t tell that anything’s happening.

I thought the church was demolished last year.  This is being built in its place. https://www.apexsouthpark.com/

I thought that was the project across Fairview?  Apex is at Sharon and Morrison iirc.

that aerial is Apex SouthPark it has 2 buildings and it is at Sharon and Morrison on the site of Sharon Methodist Church which  did have the ski slope roof design.

Both buildings at Apex looks close to topping out.  I am not sure where the hotel is going.

They haven't started construction yet on the hotel or the church from what I can tell, but here's site plan.

Here is the Hyatt Centric rendering from their website.

""Arriving early 2021! A 175-room Hyatt Centric, a newer, upper-upscale flag of Hyatt Hotels Corp., is planned with a rooftop restaurant and bar, as well as an adjacent six-story parking deck.""

"Upper-upscale"  Is that a thing? 

Also where is this going to be?

this is from the Charlotte Ledger newsletter sent earlier today.   Very interesting about Mr Levine and now he is blaming someone else on a project that seems stalled at Providence and Fairview.  Great reporting by the Ledger and very interesting.      Opposite side of Providence Road the Strawberry Hill redevelopment moves forward and Superica will be opening its 2nd outpost there. 

""Developers wrangle in court as prime corner sits idle

The corner of a major south Charlotte intersection is remaining undeveloped years after plans for it were announced, as the two developers who were working on it square off in court.  In a court case filed over the summer, a development company run by Charlotte developer Daniel Levine sued a company run by Raley Miller Properties. In 2015, the two had announced they were working together on a mixed-used development on the 11-acre site that would include a grocery store, retail and 225 residential units in buildings up to six stories tall. The plans, though, apparently kept changing.  The land, across Providence from the Strawberry Hill shopping center, was rezoned in October 2015 and again in January 2017. At a community meeting — back when the developers were on friendlier terms — they forecast that the development would be open by summer 2018.  According to Levine’s lawsuit, Raley Miller had agreed to place the land in a jointly held LLC with Levine after the rezoning but hasn’t. ""

I had heard Publix was the tenant but Raley Miller does work a lot with Harris Teeter.

Thanks for this. I live very close to here and have been wondering what in the world has gone on here. It was demo’d in a hurry and then sat....for years. Meanwhile Strawberry Hill has been totally redeveloped (though Superica is taking forever) and the huge Providence Row apartments are done. 

Shoulda figured that Levine was involved 

I would question the success of a grocery store there though. Both HT and Publix have stores less than a 10 minute drive away (2 in the case of HT) and the much improved new Fresh Market is across the street

Agree, the Marriott next door looks dated by comparison, it needs work.

I have driven by this quite a bit recently I have said the same thing...that is one of the nicest hotels (from the outside) we have seen in a while.  They did such a good job incorporating this with the giant willow oaks as well.  Looks beautiful.

Have there been any updates on the Superica build-out? I’ve been hearing rumors that it has fallen through...really hoping this isn’t true!

I heard it was Jan 2020 opening.  and when it does you can be assured I will be there.

Superica is the larger space on the leasing plan behind Red Rocks labeled D in Bldg B  in the Strawberry Hill shopping center.

It looks like several major intersections around South Park are getting pedestrian improvements next Spring, with more graphic crosswalks and sidewalk plazas. Kind of hard to tell what else is included (hopefully improved signaling), but even a small step is a step in the right direction.
