there is a King of the Queen City I acknowledge that but I can be the Lord of the Ring Cities!  

It is easy I carry my camera most of the time and it is  point and shoot so I can take lots of photos quickly LOL.

Anyway I will be uptown tomorrow and get a shot of this actual building for this is very important high rise for uptown to gain some momentum in the First Ward because of obvious slow developing land owners and government entities taking their time too. 

You are certainly Charlotte royalty (and the undisputed King of Krispy Kreme for sure), not to mention the Queen’s official photographer!

Drive bys for the Ellis apartment tower ,  retail ground level is really tall that is nice.  I actually saw a contractor truck at the Levine Unfinished Garage or what I will call LUG Nut from now on.  No photos unfortunately.   1st photo shows the vast Levine grasslands.

Walk by photos today.  And yes the garage is a one of those snapped together precast concrete things like Ally at Tryon Place. But I think it will be completely hidden from view.

What's up with the random parking lot in the bottom left hand corner? 

[videtur quam contuor]

Red all over is usually Manitowoc brand, though rental companies sometimes paint another color, though rarely.

Saw three guys using a small dozer along 10th street moving some dirt this morning. Hard to tell what they were doing.

Ha. Check it out for yourself.  Looks like they're actively pouring more columns for the high rise too.

Yes - the High Rise portion of this project will have its own Tower Crane.  The existing Blue Tower Crane is to complete the Low Rise (6 Story) Apartments with Retail Frontage Along the Lightrail Alignment.  Not sure when Hotel construction will start but it’ll probably be sometime next year.

Looks like your making the rounds today KJ. Stay well hydrated and make sure you have plenty of Sugary KK goodies to keep you rolling. Pics are looking great and all the progress from the QC  are definitely showing from your beat on the street. Thanks for keeping us in the loop for those of us looking on through your lenses.

Second crane going up.

[navigator319]

Nice. Surprised this one going up before the other one on the opposite end of the deck in the back. The base was put in months ago. Should have a total of three soon guessing.

What a beautiful morning.  Couple of guys are up on the crane working.
