Here are a couple of pictures of LU1 from South Tryon today, and I tried (probably pretty poorly and unprofessionally) to insert LU2 into the picture taken on the bridge over I-277.  Just playing around trying to see what that drive across the bridge is going to look like in the future.

One more thing I learned about Legacy 2 tower that is very interesting.  If LH doesn't get the rezoning needed for this tower to encroach into the public airspace way above the sidewalk they will go with a slightly different design in order to meet their timetable that does not require a rezoning.  Something big is brewing here and it could possibly be a new company to town I think now from a conversation I had today.   I am following up on that.  Anyway watch this tower as something big is afoot here.

I wish the future looked more like this from your angle.

I have a guess for this Legacy 2 anchor just a guess.  Could it be AXA?  AXA said last year they were adding 550 jobs in Charlotte and they do have space up in Innovation Park but not sure how much they can grow there.  Also could be a tenant for Spectrum South End project possibly?  Alliance Bernstein the AXA owned subsidiary is going into a downtown Nashville building built by guess who Spectrum Properties of Charlotte.  This is all just speculation on my part but could answer why Spectrum says they are going spec and LH is on a tight schedule with Legacy 2.  Could parent AXA be  having thoughts of a center city location like their subsidiary in Nashville?

It would make sense because according to This observer article, the governor released a statement that the expansion over the next few years here in CLT would make CLT the largest location in the US. They're currently based in NYC.

Their expansion is pretty evident from their 69 current job openings listed on LinkedIn alone. 

However, didn't the just recently moved their operations from ballyntine to university city? It'd be off for them to move again so soon wouldn't it?

Legacy's monstrous parking garage, taken yesterday.  Does anyone smarter than me know if there are any plans for retail in the stretch of this thing that fronts Church?  It looks like they have walled off a huge section internally.

Of course there is, the city doesn't let thing like this get built without retail *any longer*. Theres 7-8k facing church within the parking deck, 7-8k facing the promenade, and another 8k facing church within legacy.

Too bad the city has to dictate such a design and builders wouldn't recognize the potential already.  I guess BOA did it on West Trade down at that campus across from the bus station. I used to own one of those little slots. The rent more than offset the price.

Its a 2 acre garage. I doubt they wouldn't have lined it with retail. Gotta make money on that amount of land beyond monthly/daily parking.
