Wow, if that figure is true, he, um, cleaned up quite a bit

[atlrvr]

Only posting this here to remind posters this has it's own separate thread (previous rendering had been posted in general South End thread)

[alb1no panther]

Yes big update! They put up a silt fence. One of those South Parky silt fences. Ugh.

Not sure, but dig all those cars with European plates. With a Trump win, Duda Paine has us joining the EU.

Note well the seven utility poles, 20+ wires, twelve street and road signs and also traffic signals in this real view:

Oh man, I'd pay serious money to get those to go away.

Aren't most big block projects getting the appropriate upfit of the surrounding infrastructure?  I feel like there's a city code on this.  Too lazy to look up.  But to the point, your wishes should be granted.

Perspective and scale?

I like this building a lot more than the previous renditions, but I still don't like a modern/contemporary style of architecture for south end. This looks like it should be in South Park.

I tend to agree.  But I also couldn't see an Uptown megastructure there or anything smaller.  I guess it's as good a compromise as any.  And at such a prominent spot in SouthEnd, the scale of the building stays true to the overall tone of the neighborhood.

My biggest annoyance with the architecture is that the "flatiron" corner is minimized. The vertical striping makes the "pointiness" of the building less noticeable, which in turn makes the most unique part of the site basically invisible. Even if DFA puts their logo on the building (which would look great from a distance), it won't face the intersection "head on."

[alb1no panther]

I understand where you're from now.  My initial thought was the flatiron concept--even posted that a couples pages back--but when these plans were revealed, I was swayed.  Guess I never really gave it much thought.

Demo permits have been issued for all buildings on site....man oh man. here we go.

Equipment on site yesterday evening had drilled holes near Park in the former food truck lot which I presume is soil testing.

The existing house will be demolished in about two weeks with the common market building after that.

The power lines on Tryon and Camden will go away. The power transmission line on W Park is being debated right now. Duke doesn't want to move it but the owners want it gone.
