1 Brevard - 28 Story Tower at 4th & Brevard in 2nd Ward

[Spartan]

I think it's more perception than anything. I walk past the CTC all the time and I never feel unsafe. There are almost always police around. I'm more often annoyed at the amount of smokers on the sidewalk. It would be great if we had a de-centralized bus system so that we didn't need such a large central station like that. 

 

Also - we're getting waay off topic here.

So this pocket park at this sweet tower should be awesome!!

[Niner National]

Lest you see black people? I swear the attitude on this board sometimes. Better stick to the over street mall where it's safe.

I'd say about half the time I've walked past the station I've had people ask me for money. Sometimes it's not just asking, its following me down the street to plead their case for money.

 

I'd never want to live somewhere that I'd have to deal with that every day.

So I am really glad we are getting condos here! 28 stories is awesome and should add some even more density to the skyline.

This is what I'm imagining for this space but 4 floors taller. This was done  by Kimley Horn who is also working on this project.

That would be a nice complement to Skye.

This looks exactly like the Hyatt Place and the Arena's architecture (particularly the lower third).

I was just thinking between this, Tryon Place, Crescent Stonewall, Camden Stonewall, Embassy Suites, these projects in the 2nd ward are going to make uptown look huge and dense. 3rd ward & 2nd ward are really going to. Stretch the skyline East & West.

Between all the new proposed projects, I'll be shocked to see uptown look like a real major downtown.

We've always had our crown jewels and height. But now, all the infill is really adding bulk and uptown is becoming 3D instead of a linear strip surrounding by a sea of parking lots

I was actually thinking about this the other day as well, haha.  Man we are dorks!  But about how we will now have multiple nodes of activity in Uptown and how huge of a shift that is going to be.  The "center" of the city will no longer just revolve around College/Trade and the pocket at 5th, but instead there will be multiple centers.  The park in 3rd ward, the epicenter, N Tryon near 1st Ward Park and S Tryon/Stonewall corridor.  We aren't far from an Uptown you could actually start to get lost in!

Never thought those patches of land on Stonewall will be developed so soon. It will really make Uptown feel a lot bigger.

[CLTProductions]

Woah, they're looking at a second building on the site too. http://m.bizjournals.com/charlotte/blog/real_estate/2015/05/developer-uptown-condo-tower-would-be-first-of-two.html?r=full

[elrodvt]

If they develop all this it'll destroy a perfectly good parking lot. Where will people visiting Charlotte park! 

[15895]

The condo tower will be unique to Charlotte in that it's a beautiful building?

We have some of the most beautiful buildings... Unless he plans in throwing up One Charlotte, the aesthetics won't impress me to much. It's a filler building, I'm more concerned with ground floor

Wow this video is before Skyhouse, the park, the ballpark, all the middies projects in 3rd Ward... holy crap I can't wait to see this video by the end of the decade

I think it's more like the building will be unique architecturally (e.g. it won't be Skyhouse 3 or Charlotte beige).

That was a bit of a misquote:

"“This building will be a very unique building in the context of Charlotte,” he says. “It’s a beautiful building.”"

Maybe Arlington 2?

Sorry for the poor quality.

[navigator319]

^ Very promising.  Liking a lot the materials this is depicting

[go_vertical]

Kinda hard to get a good feel if it based off that sketch, but it doesn't look too bad.

[atlrvr]

If that's terra cotta at the bottom, and fin at the top, I'm a fan.

[15895]

That is beautiful. Any guesses on when it starts or when they start selling?

[dubone]

BreXrd.

 

 

 

It will be amazing if the real life building has all those hashes and wobbly sketch lines.  

[Miesian Corners]

Looks like it will have a green wall.  I dig.  Of course, it's Charlotte, so it will get value-engineered to death and the green wall will end up being a few hanging baskets from Lowes.

We are such a horribly jaded bunch.
