CLT2014 Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 ^That building looks WAY better, well done. Wish they had a small patio on the corner or something to invite you in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know what this is going to be? I read that the small building across the street (left from this view) is going to be transformed into some sort of bodega. Also - just down the street at the corner of Mint & Carson, I have seen a new sign go up for a huge apartment type of building that would take up that entire corner. I don't remember seeing anything on this thread about that development. Any news on that one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asthasr Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Wow, if it were real, that building appears to have at least eight different cladding types... the minute it touched Value Engineering, it'd all be a big beige block. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While they all are a little unique it does seems like some over saturation. That honor still goes to Central Avenue. Japanese/Thai/Korean are all different styles of cuisines from completely different countries. Two or three of each can't hurt. 5,000 pizza restaurants is over saturation, but that is still very welcome in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asthasr Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 Japanese, Thai, Korean, Sichuan, Cantonese, Su, Hainan, Hunan, Vietnamese, Cambodian, Malay, Filipino, Indonesian, Indian... there are dozens of different cuisines of Asia, all extremely different, and most underrepresented in Charlotte. I welcome any new restaurants, as long as they're not "Asian fusion" abominations that serve burgers with soy sauce on them. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese, and Indian pretty well represented, and that's really it (Korean is arguable but we don't have many authentic full Korean menus). I can't believe how little authentic Chinese there is in the area of any variety; Cary, which most of us lament as a bland sprawling suburb, has multiple restaurants for most of the cuisines you mentioned.

Nick2 Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 Fun fact: Cary is almost as densely populated as Charlotte. And the reason for it's better asian restaurants is that they have 13% of their population as asian whereas Charlotte is 5%. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJHburg Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 Why is this relatively new apartment complex I think 1225 South Church having massive repair work on the facade already? Maybe we should slow down and build it right the first time. I assume it is water intrusion problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonillogical Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 ^ I used to live in that building in its first year, and even then I could tell it was VERY cheaply built compared to every other apartment building I've been in. The price was right at the time, but now they charge some of the higher rents in Southend somehow. Mosaic just went through similar repair process that seemed to take forever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we should slow down and build it right the first time. I assume it is water intrusion problem. I live in this building and I'd love to know what the deal is. This particular building (Phase II of 1225 South Church) was finished in 2012. They started this massive renovation project in October 2016 and it's still going on--so their original exterior lasted only 4 years. For over 8 months we haven't had full access to our parking lot/driveway. Any given apartment lost balcony access for about 3 months, and had construction noise for the same. I had no natural light in my apartment for 10 days since the exposed wood (and windows) were covered by a tarp. If I had known this was going to happen, I never would have moved in, but somehow it never occurred to me that a 4-year-old building would need such intensive work done. Must've been really crummy construction in the first place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJHburg Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 I know they don't give you an discount for destroying your view and natural light. Do it right the first time. At this rate, in 10-15 years we will have to be tearing down these apartment complexes it will be the cheaper fix! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post SgtCampsalot Posted July 24, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 A Spanish (Spaniard?) couple I know once told me that South End is going down the "predictable" route to becoming an "Wealthy Ghetto." They say they have many of them in Western Europe. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
