from uptown the Southpark skyline.  How tall is that proposed apartment tower by Dominion?

Just noticed the SouthPark lights  a car that floats through the traffic in the auto centric district of Charlotte we call SouthPark

SouthPark truly  get apartment buildings right! They are designed well with beautifully combined  exterior materials. Somebody please give the developers of SouthEnd apartments the memo because it’s like cheap and cookie cutter on that side of town while SouthPark residential buildings all have a very sophisticated look to them.

Its hope it's not just too early yet.  But at least the ones with prominent locations do look good.

Ok yeah I can agree on that. It’s iust the ones in SouthEnd that are all clumped up together just look very tacky and cheap at times. I would love if there was more variety in Brick colors like this one and not 8 different colors and materials just thrown together.

Brick is a lot more expensive than paneling for finishes. The apartments in SouthEnd were some of the first new developments going along the lightrail and it took time before the more expensive developments came through. Can't believe how much money they are pulling in with stick apartments bringing $2k a unit for 2 br

Yeah I know material costs vary but it’s not that hard to make these basic built apartments look somewhat better. Like even the colors of the panels and wood could be better. Like take Cocoa cola site apartments. They just recently finished and it’s one of the cheapest looking ones of them all. It just looks elementary. And you’re right. The amount of money that they make off of each unit is more than enough to at least consider making the apartments attractive. But hey, that’s capitalism for ya .

drive by Apex today a sunny day and the Colony redevelopment a crane is spotted.

drive bys of Apex Southpark the apartment, retail, church and hotel mixed use project.  A distance photo of the church which looks good and was the starting point on this whole project.  My thoughts is that when First Presbyterian uptown wants to develop their block on West Trade I would call Childress Klein first as they now have good experience with a project like this.

 a cloudy day in August is a good thing to cool the high temperatures.

Southpark area has more projects going on those most Carolina cities.   Today. 

anyone know what is planned by the Barclay at Southpark down that street between the 2 Fairview towers.  Would make a great apartments over retail buildings in my book. 

Good job on the Apex at Southpark Childress Klein!  Now use your experience for a project for 1st Presby uptown. 

[KJHburg]

oh and lets forget the Colony redevelopment the parking garage for their apartment complex is rising.  Vertical development now.

South Park is so beautiful.  It's like the Beverly Hills of the South.   Admittedly, Buckhead is way richer and has fancier stores, but it also has a country/urban-grime aspect to it which SP does not.    South Park is magnificent.

Apex at Southpark is one great project.  I hope CK could use this expertise with other church owned properties like the 300 block of West Trade owned by First Presbyterian. 

Hyatt Centric, the church, the apartments, the retail on the ground level.

Today. 

[KJHburg]

More of Southpark projects including Barclay at Southpark and the Hazel of Southpark apartments with ground floor retail.  really liked how the Hazel turned out. Today. 

first set is Hazel 2nd set in Barclay and Canopy by Hilton hotel. 

[KJHburg]

and  yes even more Southpark projects.  The Colony redevelopment and I see apartments rising along Colony Rd side.  and some miscellaneous photos from the SP area.   Very last photo shows apartments rising around the stair towers. 

and the new whitewashed look of Phillips Place which is much better looking then the tired look of the beige stucco. Now looks like south Florida.  and of course new RH mega store.

Is this type of redevelopment a 'thing' that is happening throughout the country with church's and their property? The church must have made a lot of money with this project.

Yes some churches have a large properties especially in urban areas and projects like this are increasing in the country.  This situation here basically is the church gets a new building for its use and rest of the property is now on tax rolls.  Not sure about money made I think it is more the new building.
