Thinking Tepper is going to take up residence in Charlotte is just as amusing as thinking we're gonna get a 1000+ footer aaaaaaany day now.

Someone should point him to the Agenda articles about us getting a Potbelly to try and woo him.

Tepper seems to be in Charlotte a lot. I really think what he is doing here with the NFL and maybe MLS is his life long dream. He made the money and now he’s getting to do something he loves. I would love for him to become a permanent resident of the city, but one way or another he is making a mark here.

He did have a unit at the Vue but not sure if that is still the case. 

I heard he bought one of the penthouse units at 230 S Tryon Street.

Sounds like he's interested in taking more tax money out of N.C.  https://www.charlotteobserver.com/latest-news/article236655113.html

 

The Cowboys have a golf course and  and driving range in Grapevine, TX, and looks like he's modeling things on The Star in Frisco, but in Rock Hill everything will be much closer.

Is it just me or does the camera angles showing the skyline at todays game on CBS seem to avoid showing Legacy and general view of the larger skyline?  I have seen a shot of Freemore and a western direction and a shot towards the Vue that way but not as many from corner of the stadium by the tracks that would show much more of the skyline.  Is it just CBS or is Fox doing that too?

What does the tv coverage of today's game have to with the "Panthers Facilities News"?

Maybe nothing but if there is limited shots of uptown skyline seems to be less of a benefit for it to be right uptown I guess.  For tv coverage and exposure.  Obviously for fans it is a big deal where the stadium is at.

I’m waiting for the RNC coverage.  It’s really going to showcase the QC.

There needs to be a permanent camera installed in the southwest corner that TV networks can hook into.  The shot looking down at the stadium from DEC is popular but it doesn’t showcase the skyline at all.

Who was the genius who forgot to include that in the $75 million stadium upgrade package  for Richardson?

Something like this would do wonders for Uptown whether it's for BOAS or the Spectrum Center.

Well the negotiations are coming around again. Perhaps that could be included along with some free in-stadium ad signage for the city that would be visible in the shot.

Sounds a lot like the Epicenter, but It has about 100k square feet less retail than the Epicenter does, it does have 1000 more parking spaces though and more office.

It's amazing how much the Epicentre sucks after being open for only like a decade.  Wouldn't surprise me one bit to see it torn down before it turns 20.

I think you'd be right if he was the GM, but the job of an owner can probably be done mostly remotely. Miami to Charlotte is only, what, like a 2-hour flight so he can pop in and out quickly if he needs to.

I love North Carolina.  I've lived here for 12 years, and I'll live here for at least 10 more, if not for the rest of my life.  However, I'm realistic.  If someone is insanely rich, they don't want to be here, as there are more glamorous places.  In this regard, I don't see him leaving a Miami mansion for Charlotte.  He also bought a mansion in the Hamptons in NY for $45m, which he razed to build a bigger one, so he basically paid $45m for the property.

My hope for Tepper is that he sets up a branch of his hedge fund in Charlotte and relocates admin, marketing, HR, Legal, accounting, etc.  to the QC.  If he does, hopefully, it will encourage other big funds to do the same.

I think the fact that you used to constantly reference NYC is the tell for why you can't imagine this.

Oh, I don’t know. He might buy the Biltmore House.

I never meant to imply he should sell all his residence and move full time to CLT.   FL zero income tax: lets say he had a good year and makes 10% income on stock sales and dividends....that's a cool $55+mil in taxes.  But that doesn't mean he won't build a 10 million dollar house to entertain on on Lake Wylie/Norman or uptown/southpark as a place to spend his < 49% time here.   

Guys like him don't want to be renting as its a 100% waste of money.  They want a ROI.   Spend money to make money.

“There are three markets that we’re looking at, that our expansion committee has been engaging: Charlotte, Las Vegas and Phoenix. It’s fair to say that Charlotte has done a lot of work to move their bid really to the front of the line,” Garber said.

Great news for the QC!

I’d say it’s a done deal, they’re just waiting for the official announcement.

Did anyone see yesterday's Observer article about the Panthers development in Rock Hill?  It said they were looking at building several 20+ story buildings and a 30+ story one as well (think itw was 35 stories, 486 ft).  It would be the tallest building in SC.

And then it said the tallest building planned was 9 stories. The article was really unclear or I read it way too fast.

[JRNYP2C]

I was trying to read between the lines on this article too.  It originally made it sound like there was one, if not two high rises in the works.  Then, it went on to say something about height restrictions in Rock Hill, Tega Cay and such in that area from a local level.  Contradicting statements.  Maybe I'll need to read it over once more.

I read it in the physical paper (I know...so 2005). I'll see if I can find it online...

I heard this story this morning on my news brief (thanks Google Home). They mentioned the story could be found in the Rock Hill Herald as well. I had better luck there (although that took some digging). The story looks basically the same, although I didn't read it word for word to compare.

the article states it the tall 400 plus foot high tower  could be a possible gaming ventures i.e. a casino.  How could that happen when SC won't even let the Catawbas build a casino in their state and they want to build in Kings Mtn NC?    Even the Cowboys don't have anything like that at the Star in Frisco and that is a major affluent suburb.  They do have some office buildings and a hotel there but nothing that tall.
