That is not the Arlington. That is the Kimpton Tryon Park hotel with the sun reflecting off of it.

There is always that one person that sarcasm just completely misses.

To be fair, sarcasm doesn't convey very well in text.

That's why sarcastic posts are supposed to be in blue font.

That's a great idea!

the self proclaimed Uptown stunner the Ascent with vine issues.  Look for the woman sunbathing in the tower photo.   The vines? Pathetic compared to Veggie Vine Lady over at the Stonewall Station.  Last 2 photos at Stonewall.

It does look nice from the right angle.

Like when the garage is hidden by trees.

even up in downtown Asheville they can grow some vines in a very urban environment.  Today.  Why can't Ascent and big $$ Greystar the owner?

Saw vines in Chicago today. Reminds me of this

What tower is that under construction?   Will it take the record for height from the old BB&T tower?

That is the old BB&T tower being converted to condos and hotel.  Here is the thread on it at the Asheville UP I have taken many photos of it.

Surprised that isn't futher along. I was in Asheville for my birthday in feb

^OK, this is simply AWESOME!!  

This could technically be in the "Learning from other Places" thread.    Imagine if the old Polk Bldg was transformed like this.

[KJHburg]

Well in Charlotte we did have a condo conversion from office building that being 230 South Tryon.  That was a fairly simple 1970s era office building completely gutted for condos.  This project in Asheville is in the same spirit but I do think this looks better.

You know this uptown stunner is not half bad when you block the bottom half as these photos show.  Today.

I do like the flair, curves and coloration of this building indeed!  Too bad Greystar is planning/building more of them either Uptown or in other Close in neighborhoods

Wow, those planters have REALLY filled out.

[Spartan]

How long will it take for those vines to grow out? Could they not plant some kudzu or something to make it happen faster?

Ascent circa 2038:

But in all seriousness, it's an incredibly hardy invasive species and would quickly spread to romare bearden causing a huge problem.
