One Glenwood

[JeffC]

so I guess Two Glenwood Tower footprint will take out the funky restored Art Deco gas station at corner of Hillsborough and Boylan?  10 years from now, Char-Grill and Snoopy's will be the only damn funky thing left on that whole side of town. (National Art Interiors building is notable and potentially funky, but completely wasted as boring office space and high end retail...

That's truly a shame.  That gas station is awesome.  Character being paved over.

It's like a weird repeat of when neighborhoods/houses got paved over for parking lots for state government.

Here's a few more images of next phases.

Except it's a different set of tunnel vision fan boys cheering this crap on.

Most alarming to me is the phase 3, 9 story parking deck just submitted, that takes out the brick, Italianate Joel Whitaker house on Hillsborough.

Quick update, probably the only pics from me until next week at least.

[KJHburg]

^^^ That is the first sign of the new hotel rising along the garage I have seen.

I've never seen internal framing go up before the super structure was complete. I don't think it's a pedestal either...there is steel super structure rising above that framing against the tinker toy deck if you look closely. Weird...

[CHGuy]

It's load bearing metal stud framing. Similar to wood studs. The steel structure below is the podium. I assume the steel will be fireproofed.

[KJHburg]

^^^ we had a hotel go up just like this with metal framing and it is 10 stories.  (the Home2Suites at Stonewall Station)   This is what is looks like from its construction cam now you can see a little bit of the steel framing at the top.

Interesting. I've never seen it in a load bearing application...only internal. There are still those steel vertical members in the rear so I'm guessing some more rigid skeleton is holding all the framing together. From the limited times I've held metal framing, it doesn't seem like it handles torque very well, but I could be wrong. 

[CHGuy]

The steel that I see sticking up looks like it is there support the elevator shaft.

[KJHburg]

^^^ The hotel in Charlotte was all steel framing atop its concrete 1 story base.  I saw it rise.   So this hotel at the One Glenwood looks like it is being built the same way.

Developer buys additional land for the parking garage for Two Glenwood a small automotive shop at Hillsborough and S Boylan

Not a big fan of the announcement for yet another parking garage here, but I guess that's how things roll right now .  Some pics from tonight, looks like the glass is finally done.

Here is a photo from their OxBlue cam today.  The hotel is really rising now.

Looks like the camera is stuck on Nov 10?  The hotel been in that state since mid- to late October.

[KJHburg]

^^ You are right that photo is from Nov. 10 sorry I did not notice that. 

[nicholas]

Trying my best to get new pics every week or so.  Here are a few from the past couple days.

[KJHburg]

Today One Glenwood from all angles and the hotel is rising by the parking garage.  Bonus shot of Snoopys.  I think this tower is now 80-90% leased and new towers needed to be started asap like the Highwoods 20 story and the Kane's next towers by Peace and the 2nd phase of One Glenwood.

It seems like that parking deck is twice as big as needed for One Glenwood+Tower 2+the hotel. Anyone know how many spaces it's supposed to have? It seems like it's the tallest deck in downtown if not pretty close to the largest by number of spaces

[KJHburg]

^^ I mean that is a Charlotte style parking deck HUGE. I do think it for both office towers including the one planned and the hotel.    Says 733 parking spaces.

Here is the marketing  flyer

Haha over here complaining about parking decks. Least they don’t have a 14 floor nearly block sided 3000 space parking deck being erected, like at Legacy Onion

Just so you guys feel a LITTLE BIT better about the One Glenwood Parking Deck. At least it isn't taller than  adjacent office buildings.

[orulz]

One Glenwood deck is fine. They are already building the Origin hotel to screen it to the north, and have a future phase eventually planned to the south.

It is the Two Glenwood deck planned at the corner of Boylan and Hillsborough with retail on the ground floor but no screen building that is bothersome.

It is a bit frustrating to me that they went to great extents to do the first deck right, in an arguably less important spot, and then didn't follow up and do the same with their second.

But yeah, your picture certainly provides some perspective.

And also some perspective that downtown Charlotte is just... well, on a different scale compared with Raleigh.
