Those are some big retail spaces

Here's the full pdf of the utility plan that this comes from. Can be found under the attachments of this project. Higher quality and not cropped.

600 South Tryon Street - Comments.pdf

No renderings for this project released yet, right?

I wish they didn't carry the giant column along Tryon like on the Deloitte building, but love that the lobby looks to be tucked away and the retail size is solid. 

On the column front, I think it is just a bit imposing and cuts the windows of the building off from the street / isn't welcoming. Just an opinion though!

Is this still in the sixteen-ish floor range?

I don't think this building is listed as a proposed project on WIKI yet.

It is about to be a under construction project

Is this going to be built upon a parking garage?  If so, does the 23 floors include the garage space, or is that all office floors?

I believe that this includes a parking deck, and yes, the total floor count includes the parking deck

[Hushpuppy321]

That plan looks like the building will take up all of the remaining parcel there at N.Tryon & Stonewall with a party-wall to the main BOA Tower ending at Church St.  Designed to fit that lot well I guess.  If they have just received Grading Permits already then I wouldn’t be surprised to see construction here by this summer or earlier.

8 story parking deck will take up rest of the block, but office tower only takes the third closest to Tryon.  An apartment tower or hotel will eventually go at the Stonewall/Church corner on top of the parking deck.

Wow that’s a great use of space but I suspect that both Residential and Hotel here may be quite some time away from developing.  Southend is definitely taking some of Uptown’s mojo currently.  With Residential starting along Morehead & Metropolitan soon (as well as SE) I don’t see LU residential in the next year or two.

What does that even mean? You don't think they will build a hotel/residential tower just because of what is going on in SouthEnd.... its more so about demand. And truthfully that area would be perfect for a residential tower or hotel seeing as though all of that office space is being built. Something needs to break it up. And of course Charlotte's growth is still on the rise and fast. I hope this is the last office space in the LU development. I remember when it was first proposed they said 2 million square feet of office, and with this one, I'm sure that this entire development will equal out to over 2 million all together with the three current office towers and this newest one. I personally think a hotel needs to go on the curved lot right across from the stadium. All that office and an 80,00 seat stadium with no major hotel near until you get to the JW Marriott.  I feel like at least a 500 to 800 room hotel could go there. And don't forget the possible addition of office space to be built when Duke redevelops that block right next to that as well. It would make sense.

Just saying that High Rise Residential is very expensive to build and to rent from.  The High Rise Market is about to be saturated soon with all of the Projects breaking ground in SouthEnd and along Morehead and the NWR Site at Metropolitan.  
 

I could imagine that 8 Story Parking Podium (as per atlrvr) being built along with the Office Tower ready to support a Residential Tower but it maybe not being built until later on sort of like the Museum Tower being built years later.  For the foreseeable future any high rise residential built Uptown will have some stiff competition from SouthEnd High Rise Apartments because you have the vibrancy of the neighborhood and uptown views.

The entire project was bad from the beginning. Giant parking garage, sloppy architecture, and poorly integrated into its surroundings. It's the Dallas North Tollway in 1984.

THANK YOU!

HoneyWell may get a second tower next to their first. Tower 4 is under development right now, and tower 5 and 6 are the remaining 2. However, I always thought there would be room for a 7th based on the map. so we will see,

There's a new tower under development at LU?  Tower 4 you say?  Is that the project at SW corner of Tryon & Stonewall, and ground has broken on that?

They have their grading permits approved.

Looks like its full steam ahead, they put fencing up all around the plot and barricaded off corkscrew’s play area. looks like he is going back to crapping in the tryon st. tree planters since they have that nice grass roped off!!!!

So thats two wards down, two wards to go

Sorry for off topic but I’ve said years ago this is the biggest, most underutilized, secret green space in uptown that majority of ppl don’t even know exists. Would be a nice sized dog park. Honestly  surprised it hasn’t  been developed being right off the light rail stop.
