Im assuming, according to the original plans, the west facing side of the deck - facing the stadium will be hidden by retail and a residential tower? 

to answer your question yes there will be buildings blocking this garage from all sides except Church St which will have some retail and from 277 straight on.  Here is the plat

from the Business Journal recap of last night's zoning meeting including this about Legacy 2

""Lincoln Harris' petition to allow a cantilevered building design on its second office tower at its Legacy Union project in uptown. The petition went through both a public hearing and a vote on Monday, a rarity in zoning meetings, but councilors granted the move after Collin Brown, a land-use attorney with K&L Gates representing Lincoln Harris at the meeting, said the building's anchor tenant, Deloitte, had a specific timeline. Lincoln Harris' petition called for a design that would angle the building upward in a cantilever design starting at the seventh floor, which required the rezoning (a straight building design allowed byright was already approved if the rezoning had been denied). Brown said construction permits for the new design need to be filed by year's end to meet the expected delivery (Deloitte plans to move into 650 South Tryon, the building's address, in the fourth quarter of 2020). Council voted unanimously in support of the petition.""

That's great news.  The the cantilevered design looks great.

Here is a Legacy 2 rendering as a reminder.

Your's is out of date. This is more current.

So the retail is practically nonexistent compared to the old site plan?

None of the retail has been removed. Theres probably about 40k so far.

That will be quite the urban view when LU2, Ally, and DEC2 are done.

The dimensions of this building are quite pleasing from a distance.

The first picture was taken by the NFL’s Social Media team. The rest are mine.  You can definitely see progress on the pyramid.

Looks like LU1 has it's 2nd tenant.

 

KPMG, a rival to Deloitte, and also currently in DEC is supposedly taking 55k on floors 9-10 in LU1, which is up from about 48k sq ft on 2 floors in DEC.

This will look amazing on game nights when the crown is lit in blue light.

I couldn't get the pyramid construction very clear in a pic, but I edited it to heck to see the basics.

It's' amazing how much room these audit firms need. How hard is it to just agree with whatever the company says (think 2008)?

I agree. I was initially hoping that we could have a lit pyramid for this game and then my hopes shifted to a home playoff game, but now it looks like it will have to wait until next year. Even if we miraculously made the playoffs we would be the 6 seed and would not have a chance to play at home. It will be a nice addition for 2019 though and it will be fun to watch LU2, FNB, and Duke Power Tower hopefully beginning to rise in the not too distant future.

[SydneyCarton]

I agree!

I forget what was mentioned before, but do yall remember what the panels are going to be made of for the pyramid (glass, metal)?  The renderings look like it's translucent a little so the crown would be lit within which could be cool.

It’s a architectural fabric, like the Shed at Hudson Yards. Forgot the name.

Thats great about KPMG and it sure sounds like Duke Energy Center owner Wells Fargo is not renewing leases and pushing people out of their building for their own use.  That is indeed good news too.

From many angles and to see the pyramid you need to be blocks away.   Today.

^ That parking deck is so tall, it deserves its own pyramid.

@ricky_davis_fan_21 we need your graphic skills for a huge pyramid for the Legacy mega deck.

Not sure if any of you with a nifty perch can photo confirm, but it looks like foundation work might have already begun on LU2.

It has.  I forgot to snap a pic when passing by the other day, but they cleared out the area where the base will be a few weeks ago.  Yesterday, they had a big machine that looked like it was used to drive pilings into the ground.  If it isn't raining tomorrow I may be passing by.  I will get a pic.
