A couple of them have plans for it in place, thankfully. The only hold up is Grubb/Charlotte Chamber. Edited April 5, 2016 by ricky_davis_fan_21 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cltcane 306 Report post Posted April 6, 2016 While I still wish there was a little less lobby and a little more retail on the ground floor, I am reminded how much I appreciate the step-down on Tryon to make the retail space on the corner tie in with Latta Arcade.

HopHead 1160 Report post Posted April 7, 2016 By looking at the webcam, one would imagine that the tower crane for the office portion of this will get raised this weekend? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jayvee 3004 Report post Posted April 7, 2016 Yup. Saturday. Might get delayed though as it looks to be VERY windy on Saturday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spartan 1170 Report post Posted April 7, 2016 I honestly have no idea what happened to the old thread. It's not hidden or moved anywhere I can find it (including the moderators' section). I've asked Neo to look into it. Thanks for creating this new thread in the meantime. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rancenc 585 Report post Posted April 8, 2016 Thought I would share the opening of the closet Kimpton Hotel just 90 minutes away in the state's 4th largest city of Winston-Salem. If you are familiar with the downtown area of the city, the hotel will be part of a mixed used complex in the former iconic RJ Reynolds building which opened in the late 1920's and was actually the proto-type for the Empire State Building in New York City which opened several years later. https://www.kimptonhotels.com/boutique-hotels-in-winston-salem?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Brand%20-%20Winston%20Salem%20-%20Exact&utm_term=kimpton%20hotel%20winston%20salem%20nc_98980486-VQ6-103088106989-VQ15-1t1-VQ16-c Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spartan 1170 Report post Posted April 8, 2016 Sorry everyone but it looks like the old thread is gone for good. It got deleted accidentally and apparently there is no recovery system for that. We've made some changes internally that will hopefully prevent it from happening in the future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alb1no panther 472 Report post Posted April 19, 2016 (edited) Had a later morning coffee meeting at RUSH in Brevard Court. Took some pictures and video on my way there. What's the point of all this crane porn without any sound? ^ in case anyone was wondering what the alley was going to look like Link to 20s video bc I can't figure out how to embed --> http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=34fxtao%3E&s=9#.Vxacm4S7dlx Edited April 19, 2016 by alb1no panther Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alb1no panther 472 Report post Posted April 28, 2016 Took a perspective shot through the trees. Use your imagination for the finished product. Will be a pretty scene during the warm months. Question: I just noticed this area off to the left. "Rooftop" dining? One more question: I just noticed from @CarolinaCrown's photos that the lobby to the hotel is going to be MASSIVE. Like 3 stories it looks like. Has a final decision been made as to hotel branding at this spot? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alb1no panther 472 Report post Posted April 28, 2016 hmmm, it most definitely seems like they could make SOME use of that space. (And not for smokers, who are the most inconsiderate people that walk this earth.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If so, that's AWESOME that they separated it from the roadway as opposed to a narrow lane with a white line. Nitpicking here: But the design would be much more complete IMO if there were double facing light poles hitting the pedestrian path and the bike path.

I was under the impression that a final decision hadn't been made yet. Or maybe that's the Crescent Stonewall project? In any event, things change over time. Just asking is all.
