From what point was this photo taken? 

Looks like S Brevard. The re-cladding of the old AT&T building is on the right. Convention center further down.

I like how this thing peeks out from so many different angles.

Its amazing how tall this building looks from nearby, but then when seen in the context of the rest of uptown... its tiny. I think Charlotte gets a bad rap for not being dense, but in reality the sheer height of the tallest buildings downplays the shorter ones quite a bit. No cities our size boast as many towers over 200M.

Same with the Skyhouses. Their 24 stories look like nothing.

It is so disappointing that the Carolina theater property was sold to the Foundation of the Carolinas for nothing. The renovation date has been set back from 2017 I believe. This property is in a wonderful location and it is disappointing that every so often, a new rendering is submitted of what will happen. I am sure that they have no idea and plan on selling the property as time goes by and we have to wait even longer. I don't believe that money is an issue with the foundation.

I believe they have until sometime this year to begin construction, just can't remember what month it is.

OR it could just be that good folks across both aisles decided this as something worth attempting but were wise enough to put a hard tether on the deal.

Nice shots.

From all angles Stonewall Station today. This is the biggest stick built complex this close to the center city ever. I want it done and with fully functional sprinklers quick. Love its presence and what this will do to Stonewall St and the greater uptown area.  Dozen photos from all angles but 277. In the 7th and 8th photos you can see where the main entrance to the Whole Foods will be.

GReat shots.

What is the meaning, if any, of the reddish color of the truss and framing for the area nearest the light rail station on this project.

I like how you can no longer see across 277 from Brevard. This makes it feel a lot denser now.

God bless you and thanks for the remarkable and uplifting photos.

Helps prevent fires,  The wood will burn but it takes a hotter flame longer to start a fire.

So the red color is a sign of heat- or fire-prevention treatment. Thank you.

Here's the view from the top of 615.

Stonewall Station making an impact on the skyline, today. (and bonus shot of the Embassy Suites)

This looks close to being topped out. It looks like the huge parking garage is for sure. Today. I got stopped at all the lights on South Blvd coming into uptown!

Cloudy and rainy today, but here are a few shots from the top of the building (level 20).

What's going on across the Freeway from Stonewall, along South Blvd (see third photo above...)
