Parking.

If for no other reason, UDO cannot come soon enough to remove the parking minimums! Mind boggling for a project steps away from a light rail station....

Rail Yard from the Rail Trail earlier today.

The second tower is starting to pop up over the surrounding buildings - should go up quickly like the first.

The Railyard today.  Working in earnest on 2nd building.  Anyone heard about tenants?  You have EY out there  and of course Allstate is adding 2000 jobs and there is really no room up at Innovation Park in university area for that many people.

This place is going to look, erm, not Bland when it's finished!

Well played....

Today from S Tryon and Rail Trail, the Railyard.  This will lease up quickly I know. Location, design, parking, LYNX access.

So glad they are going to bury all the utilities between Railyard and DFA.

Really love the visual accent of the stairways. There’s great beauty in simple efficient design. Highlighting what would otherwise be hidden.

Those power lines have GOT to go! Asap. Ugh, I can't take looking at them anymore.

Why do you gotta play with my emotions like that?

From their webcam today.

Just a street level update.

Gosh, to think. In a year or so, this street will have hundreds and hundreds of new blue button up and khaki donned workers walking down the street. It’ll truly be special.

The Railyard has a full page ad in the Business Journal advertising 200,000 sq ft available which means they have leased approx. 160,000 sq ft.  Is that Allstate and EY?  This is fantastic and if this leases up quickly they will start their next building in Southend which I have heard rumors of.

I was against office in SouthEnd, but I changed my mind. As long as they are in the 10 floor range, I think it’ll add to the hood AND I think it’ll give a low cost alternative to companies who might choose University, SouthPark or Ballantyne instead.

I bet the difference in submarkets is maybe only $1-2 a sf, this is basically an uptown location.

Oh well. :/ I’m stoll not entirely against it anymore.

The cost of new office space in South End is about  at the same price  as new Uptown but the difference is parking which is usually included in these Southend towers.  

Allstate will still need more space and it will likely go to the university area.  You can't add 2250 jobs as they are just in one building.    

AXA is adding 550 jobs and they will need more space and I think they will end up at Innovation Park in the University area.  

You will see more office buildings coming to upper South End closer to Uptown for sure.  I wish that building at Morehead and S Tryon would be revived for it had a great design.

And it had the perfect height that many of us here are envisioning for the northern tip of South End.
