Regardless of what one thinks of LH’s work aesthetically, their business model is amazing.  They are the Related of Charlotte.  Given the roll that LH is on, I hope that they buy the Duke Fortress and build a mixed-use project there.

Sydney, what do you for Lincoln Harris?  

New member here, this post inspired me to join!

They’re installing trees along the Tryon St streetscape now, along with lettering on the building.  Right now, it says “TOWER”.  I’m waiting with bated breath to see what the rest of the letters will spell.  lol

Plain Jane Tower?  Fugly Tower? 

Hmm, actually, is plain jane sexist? Better not go there.

Faulty!

[Blakcatfan]

The Church Street side is completed, and it says Bank of America Tower.

[CLTranspo]

Definitely adds some density

This is great news.  I hope that the facade is curved since the site seems to be.

Something like Foster’s Bow in Calgary would be nice.

 

I’m hoping to vacation in Calgary within a year!

LU3 looks to be 23 floors and a bit over 300'.  It will definitely be parking podium with retail on first floor and office above. No idea what it will look like but at that height it doesn't seem to have a crown feature.

Not sure if this has been addressed. Or if I can look at the renderings. But is the logo going on ever side of the building? And also what are those things poking out of the building?

Looks like up lights for the exterior lighting.

Feel like this angle isn’t shown much. Ally rising.

I just can't believe they are going to add 360,000 sq feet more onto that deck toward mint street. What a disaster, going to look worse than Novel Stonewall Station, a tiny tower with an even fatter ass. Good luck to the folks at Honeywell, Bank of America, and Deloitte as all 3600 cars  exit this deck together through like 2 entrances.

LU3 being 300’ (or slightly higher) will have visibility from the stadium?  Anyone know?

[navigator319]

This whole site is an disgrace from the name to the site plan to the structures. I for one would have rather had the sheet metal facility and the observer buildings until Charlotte was a more mature city where something like this scar would not have been possible.

Do you think you'd enjoy parking on the 12th floor of that parking deck and getting out of it?

I'd imagine it'd be visible from upper deck, lower deck, and the FAR endzone, and MAYYYYBE from the Panther Logo in the middle of the field. It'll be pretty close though.

Call me dramatic but this could have been something amazing, it was one of the prime development sites and its been executed terribly. Was Lincoln Harris always going to develop this or was it open to bids? I wonder what other companies would have done.

It was quietly on the market, repped by NAI I believe, and Goldman/Lincoln Harris were the ones with the deepest pockets. Its not like public land where you do RFPs and etc. This was a dying company trying to move a huge liability off their books quickly.

The parking deck is horrible. Not sure how it got approved or how an architectural firm feels comfortable doing that to such a prime price of land- with their name on it .

Im just making light of something pretty bad. This thread goes through it’s fair share of emotional rollercoasters with LU. Can’t change it now. Im more so excited about what’s going on in Southend than the whole LU development.  It’s just funny to see everyone be reminded weekly how much they hate this development.
