The name is probably something like "1+5 Boring Beige Place".  Or something hipster like thr33-5ive STryon (in really cool font of course).

Technically the Gold District ends at Winnifred Street so these are just in SouthEnd

Gold Dust district I mean Gold district random shots.  I noticed utilities being marked on the Spectrum land further down Carson from their new office development today. 

1. Spectrum site of next development. You can't see the guy he is to the left I accidentally cut him out.

2. random CLT FAA tower shot

3.4.  332 W Bland 

5. Stiles office building is bland but views are fantastic I am sure.

6. KASK helmet company renovation is great

7. Gather Wilmore boutique office building is a great addtion

Any news on the new pedestrian bridge crossing 277 into Southend? Did they pick a design?

[KJHburg]

since this is squarely in the Gold District I will put it here about Spectrum's new apartment and retail complex.  Look how the building flares  out like their nearby Vantage Southend offices.

Its funny. @Jayvee did his post with the graphic I created above... and I used the B&W photos and his is performing WAY BETTER. That almost NEVER happens with things with writing on it. I think they did black and white so it wouldn't track as well.

Interesting, my wife and I are actually looking at the Altura townhomes right across from this... One of the things I loved about them was the views from the Deck, but looking at that map, I am actually worried about of the land right next to 277 and right in front of the town homes. 

 

Hmmmmmm, then again, in 5 years, this area is going to be nice and dense and 100% walkable.

The land that hugs 277... its almost ALL Department of Transportation land. It might take a long long while to develop.

So the land to the South of Moorehead and Mint, the 1012-1099 Mint block is NCDOT land? Good to know.

nah 1012, 1099, 1000-1011 are all private land. But that massive blob of nothing around it belongs to 277 for no discernible reason. 

The private parcels are too small to build anything view blocking. If someone manages to assemble that DOT land though...

the developers have been doing good lately on Charlotte developments on the design side mainly in SouthEnd, but I hope this project can stand out. Like with a really light color brick.

And yet, somehow, nobody has found Waldo.

since you are a duke fan I'll let you in on a secret:

I got a backhoe for Christmas. As soon as I figure out how to attach my beer cooler to it so that the cans don't get shaken up I am going to start removing the Belk myself. If everything goes according to my plan, that parcel (along with the remainder of the Belk) will be in play for development within six months. If there are any West Morehead commuters here please look up, I may drop a few chunks from the overpass by accident. 

I would really like my legacy to be local-beer-fueled guerilla urbanism. Ultimately I hope that a statue of me standing on a pile of ruble (perhaps with my right foot up on my cooler, Hop Drop can in hand) in the middle of large beer garden in the  future Belk-277 park would be appropriate.

HAHAHAHAHA That would make a hell of a headstone.

I thought I saw him duck into the Uptown Cabaret to cool his heels after a long day of surveying work in that vicinity the other week.

I’d imagine some sort of JV, but indeed.

My question is what is happening with the “adaptive reuse” block on Morehead?  I seem to recall around 2015 the entire block was purchased by some Canadian entity (if memory serves) and they were going to lease all the buildings as restaurant/bar space until conditions warranted a tear down and rebuild of something larger.  Now it looks like some of the properties are for lease with Whiteside industrial and some are for sale, with virtually nothing having occurred since the 2015 purchase.  
 

I do hope it ends up being adaptive reuse rather than a tear down.  While not necessarily very pretty or historic, these buildings kind of have some of that gritty urban charm that seems to have been lost in the often sterile developments that have popped up around Southend. I’ve thought for a long time these buildings would make a great little restaurant and bar row especially considering the Panthers /MLS are next door and all the residential and commercial development in the area.

That same Canadian company also bought the Rogers Builders Building and the green terra-cotta faced building on the corner of Pine and Trade Streets.  I have always suspected a condo building to go there.
