Didnt they have to do a rescue like that when they were starting construction on this?!

No, there was a High Angle Rescue at the nearby Ally Building Site about the time that this building started construction.  There was another High Angle Rescue just last week at the Portman Holdings Building Site under construction on Hawkins St. in Southend.  CFD sure stay busy!

I wasn’t able to get a picture, but FNB has good presence already coming down 77. Heading southbound between exits 11 and 9 with the angle of the view we get there is a cool step down look from Duke to LU1 to FNB.

Is Porsche filming a commercial?

I’m loving the impact this tower is having!  How many floors left...4?

This looks awesome from the ball park. Hope to get more around it and completely surround it.

this wasn't in Charlotte but I would guess some kind of tv commercial maybe.

This building has a much larger presence from the west and southwest. It looks much smaller against the skyline when viewing from the north, unless you’re close up on it. It is quite downhill from the rest of the skyline.  Elevation here is 706 ft, while Tryon street through uptown averages between 740 and 760 feet.

It might be a week outdated already, but here’s a view of FNB from a view you don’t usually see, the top of DEC

Looking forward to how this activates the area at street level. Would that Residence Inn ever consider expanding especially given the increase in surrounding development?

The ground level will be a bank branch so the street activation will be relatively low. A little rush at opening, then like 5 people for 2 hours, a huge rush of people cashing checks on their lunch break, back to a few people until the rush before a 5PM closing. Very few people lingering as bank branches are largely quick transactions.

From my count it looks like 2-3 more.

Does anyone think it is noteworthy that the configuration of the building, where the pool is, faces the south half of downtown instead of the BOA face of downtown?

[atlrvr]

Pool is facing south for more sunlight...???

[KJHburg]

Too many in the shadows all day pools in Charlotte and maybe someone actually thought it.   Remember the covered shaded pool of the failed 1 Brevard condo tower?

Today 12: 05 p.m.  -  27 floors erected, 2 floors to go -- FNB Tower Charlotte, 365 ft. / 111.2 m. high,  29 floors

Architecture and design question: Do all such large buildings require compensation for progressive collapse as was seen in the World Trade Center in 2001? Concrete that compensates for high impact explosion and heat damage? Just in NYC and other areas? Charlotte? Is it required or optional?

[KJHburg]

My drive by photos of FNB Tower today.  It is looking great.

I do like the step down. (Though would’ve been cool if FNB ended up at 35-40 stories )
I like LU1 best from the corner angles.
*bonus* - overhead power lines slicing through my picture !
