It somehow comes in at the second most valuable office tower uptown per CBJ. No Idea how/why its worth more than DEC

According to Wikipedia, Hearst is slightly larger than DEC at 1.6 million sq ft compared to DEC’s 1.558 million sq ft. BOACC is third at 1.4 million sq ft. It must have something to do with that or the trading floor.

Like a phoenix rising from the mud pits and swamps of Charlotte.  Legacy today.  This garage maybe the 3rd largest in Charlotte but NO way it is the 3rd largest in the world are you kidding me?  The airport garage is 7000 space and the garage at Gateway Village is larger too.

pretty cool to watch.

Thanks for posting that.  So little Harrisburg in Cabarrus County put the pyramid on top.  https://galvan-ize.com/    Or the top hat as someone called it.  Whatever you call it I call it beautiful!

Wow this is awesome! Live in Harrisburg! Look at us, our industrial side making a impact on the Queen City!!

as you will see that BOACC’s setbacks are lit.

Awesome!

Anyone else think it'd look great for Hearst to have lights on the 'hooks' at the bottom setback? pointing upward, of course.

Everything looks better on a bright early Spring day... optimism is in the air.

This might be the most gorgeous photo of this project yet! So glad the sun is finally out again lol

The garage is ugly and massive, but parking is really expensive in that part of uptown....so I guess that is somewhat of a benefit.  At least it is taller than other garages in town.

New crane on scene

Looks like it is being used to take down the parking deck cranes.

I find it hilarious you can’t even see the pyramid from the street.

Vantage points...you could say that about any tower really at the right angle:

But I like LU's glass in that pic.

[Matthew.Brendan]

That is from across the street, not standing at the base.  Here’s zoomed from a full block away. The proportions are.... special.

I mean... The pyramid would have to be like 500 feet tall. You can't even see the tip of the spire from under empire state

I suspect Legacy Union 4 will make this impossible to see from the street here what so ever :-)

You would be correct.

At this parking garage is lined with retail space on Church and on the promenade between Church and Mint.  Tryon Place did not see fit to line their garage with retail.

Hopefully they will convert Tryon's later like the one near RB Park.

I just don't know why they don't do it from the get go.  I forgot about it until recently.

"didn't see fit?"

Ally Center is providing 35,000 sq feet of retail between JW Marriott and Ally Center Charlotte, and a tiny lobby. Where as Legacy Union thus far is providing a two story, lawyer foyer for the ages, another large lobby facing an interior green that should haven been more retail, a 10,000 sq feet bank branch, a gym the size of a wegmans and maybe 20,000 sq feet of restaurants, but lets be honest, probably more bank branches

+1 for lawyer foyer
