Also looks like they're still at least a day or two away from completing the 28th floor. The previous floor was completed 12 days ago so they've definitely fallen off pace with the new alignment. **IF** that slower pace continues, hard to see this topping out before mid-September at earliest.

That's true. It took them nearly a month to complete the last floor before the setback because of the accident. They had been averaging a floor every ten days. But the first setback floor has taken longer than the previous 10-day average. Why? It might just be that it takes a bit longer like setting a new foundation when you start a new alignment. Possible they'll move back to their 10-days per floor again. I'm not a construction guy so take this fwiw.

CharlotteWkndBuzz Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Awesome pics, GMAN! Love the 3rd one looking down Stonewall...what a great stretch of projects. That parking deck is huge btw, even more so in-person. But that also gives me hope that there are some good things coming in those remaining parcels. I am curious though why they chose not to put any retail on the side facing the Panthers stadium? Since there will prob be a highrise of some sort in that space...going to be a very long blank wall of the parking deck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, why would they put retail facing the panthers stadium on the parking deck? That entire side will be covered, most likely by a residential building, with retail at the bottom.

I think he probably didn't expect another building between the garage and the stadium (it looks like a narrow space in the picture but really just illustrates how massive the parking garage is).

I made a very bad photoshop of what I envisioned in my head lol. Essentially, I would have liked some sort of retail on that long stretch of the parking deck. I have no idea of the positioning of the residential tower, but if it's backed up against the deck, then I can see why. **Thanks for the explanation RDF, makes sense why there is no retail. I guess I'm just anxious to see the rest of the plans for the layout at LU lol. Edited July 5, 2018 by CharlotteWkndBuzz Question was answered.

I could be wrong... If I remember correctly the space its about 8 feet wider that Catalyst and Element, so plenty of space for a long skinny residential tower. 32 minutes ago, Dale said: Is this thing going to top out before anything else gets started ?

Tower will take up nearly every bit of the land, except for maybe the tree buffer would stay so people would still have a view of something along the bottom.

There’s definitely plans, nobody is privy to them however. Just little leaks of scope here and there.
