I always get a kick out of these types of renderings that include photoshopped in celebrities as Easter eggs. Some jokester put Ezekiel Elliott in this one.

On another note, does anyone else feel like this project stalled over the past few weeks?

Its not, but I agree it just looks like it.  You can see changes though.  There is just so much foundation and core work. So much rebar and concrete  forming  at the base .  It appears they are almost done with this stage and another 2/3 weeks might really start to  grow.

First 7 floors will take a long time. Parking decks take a while when they are not snapped together piece by piece.

For some reason, I had assumed they would build without a parking deck and lease from the mega deck next door.   Are they really building a deck on this tiny parcel?!

"FNB will occupy some 40,000 square feet of the tower plus a ground-floor retail branch. Also at street level will be retail space and separate lobbies for the offices and apartments. Above that in ascending order will be eight levels of parking for 391 vehicles; seven levels of office space totaling 156,500 square feet; an interstitial level with amenity structure and storage; and 13 residential levels featuring nearly 200 studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments."

I don't think it's a reasonable conclusion to expect that parking deck to be there in 10 years.

Duke and the Residence Inn use that whole deck.  I'm on the waiting list for a spot in that parking deck and have been for months.

Wish they would add some retail at the bottom of the Residence Inn. And redo the entire exterior. That hotel screams “by the airport.”

I almost said maybe it will be torn out for a taller tower, but Northwood Ravin is only bothering to go for 10 stories after wiping out some history.  

 

Residence Inn isn't the worst ground level.  A hotel bar has the patio which isn't too bad, but maybe a more welcoming entry to the street could even help them get some business that they won't get as is.    https://www.google.com/maps/@35.2270161,-80.8492556,3a,75y,322.78h,81.5t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s9Xo4QAzIpfTrwPXIjVXOiA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192

My friend is food and beverage manager there. It is a great gig for a man with many years in restaurant business because there is not a restaurant as such. Breakfast takeaway or eat in, drinks and fruit all day, happy hour snacks and such, plus the bar with bar food, and groups may request food for their function. Way easier than running a restaurant 10 am to 1 am. Plus he can delegate much of this because the preparation list for each day is way less than a full restaurant, and deliveries are less. He loves it.

Omg I truly hate this about this building tho I love this building at the same time. I like the height and size but I hate tiny parking garages that go up so high vertically but have so little footprint. Reminds me of Ascent and that is just...ehh looks like it won’t last for many decades to come.

I don't think it looks like that bad and they are not depending on nonexistent vines to cover and hide the deck.

Here is a video with some great views

This is a really quality video.  It really helps you get a feel of how the building will fits in the area.

Yeah it’s not bad but I just can’t get past a parking deck being surrounded by another one literally right there. But I get it.

If you look closely - Looks like the photographer actually caught the aftermath of  a vehicle accident.

Probably were distracted by the man wearing a full on cowboy costume, perched atop a 17 hand tall black stallion, taking the photo. Because this awesome sight took their attention, they collided.  @Urban Cowboy

I think that this could be the second best tower of this cycle trailing on 300 S Tryon.  This looks really impressive.

really wish FNB could have pushed this building a bit higher...it is going to be a great building, just wanting it to be a bit taller than 365..

I think it will definitely feel and appear taller than that though...just because it's going to tower over everything over there.  It's taller than everyone within a block or so radius (element, catalyst, ascent, etc).  Little Graham St Pub hit the jackpot.
