So when are they installing the balconies? 

I've been meaning to post that for like 6 months.

There are no balconies on this side of the building except the top couple of floors and on the for right side of the building facing uptown.

How many more floors?

I think they're finishing up the last floor. If not, there should be only 1 more left.

I hope we get about 10 more of these in his area. This tower looks great, and more part meant density in the area would be amazing

It's the perfect project for the area. Good looking and it's got a high rise and a ton of retail. Maybe Levine can use this as a model of how to develop the rest of his first ward holdings.

Right!! And I hate that north tryin vision plan that has most of the buildings to be midrise building! Ugh! We need major office, hotel, attractions and so on.

My boyfriend and I decided on a “staycation” in the city for our anniversary, at the Hyatt Place. Great north-side views from our room. The Ellis really stands out from this angle.

The Ellis can now be seen from this traffic cam at WT Harris.

These pics are really terrific, but you get a better sense of how large it is as you drive by / walk by it. It has this thick, bad boy feel to it. Once the skin gets developed better and it is up and rolling and lit up you will really appreciate this addition to uptown. Not optimistic about timely and intelligent development around it though. There is so much opportunity for vibrant life in this ward.

Timely, maybe not, but I think intelligent is more assured now, because of the orientation of new developments towards the Rail Trail rather than, or in addition to, vehicular streets--which Ellis/Market 42 has introduced to the First Ward. I would be shocked if those empty blocks along the Blue Line--when they finally do get developed--don't continue the trend. College Street's potential as a vibrant city street may suffer a bit as a result, but the ward overall will be hugely improved.

My drive by photos today.  

hate to bring it up again but what is going on with the Levine parking deck which is an eyesore and will it EVER OPEN?   It is structural defective or what?  why won't it open?  calling Joe Bruno, the Charlotte Ledger someone investigate this.  I know the Biz Journal has done some reporting on it.  Could be converted to something else if not parking I don't know.  Is there some legal battles behind the scenes we dont know about it.
