FNB Tower 401 S Graham St (29 floors - 365 feet)

Podium style buildings (Midrise/Highrise) are just more cost effective to build (far as money & time) than buildings with subterranean parking structures.  Those are also a type of Podium structure but doing anything underground just costs more.

I suspect the aforementioned massive deck will be sold for development in the next 5 years.

They just have spent the better part of the last 6-8 months refurbishing this deck.  Work continues.

it occupies 4.825 acres, and has a appraised value of maybe $17M. Its 210k sq feet of parking. As a developable asset, it will trade for nearly $60M. the Legacy Union block surrounded by Church, Tryon, Hill and Stonewall is 4.1 acres and will be home to probably 2.2M sq feet of development when all is said and done. So basically, that parking deck, wedged between two of uptown's 3 biggest entertainment venues,at the terminus of the hottest street, in one of the hottest districts, across the street from the largest development in the history of uptown is not sacred, or safe.

When Duke moves into their new tower this deck is like 3 blocks away and I do agree I think this deck will be gone or sold in 5 years.  Duke will have their own deck with the new tower.  when it was built Duke needed parking and this was the FAR edge of uptown and was  built also to provide parking for the Ericsson stadium aka BofA Stadium.

Is the Duke parking garage always full?  I am kind of curious that it wasn't somehow connected to the project.

Personally I think the fact that they were unable to lease back spaces for their tower from Duke and had to build their own deck shows that there might be future plans for this deck to no longer exist.

That is what I was thinking as well.

Looks like we have a construction sign and a pile of SAND! Some of the wood dividers for the parking spots had been moved around as well.

Already more progress than the Belk Theater and InterContinental.

I could see it going away, or Tepper buying it for gameday parking and leasing it the rest of the year to uptown workers and residents. I have nothing to back this idea up other than it's well known that the Panthers want more parking, and this is by far the largest parking deck that they could potentially purchase with room to spare.

I personally hope that it goes away.

Yeah, I was definitely being serious!

The 2nd or 3rd groundbreaking of the FNB Tower (but who's counting) will be on Jan. 16 according to an ad in the Business Journal.  I am guessing this is with the big wigs maybe KJ will stop by.

Random tree removed.

No random tree. This beauty. Two seasons.

[Hunted]

I honestly loved that tree. Great for climbing during drunk tailgates. Oh, well.  Auf wiedersehen.

[j-man]

Welp. Things are moving along.

The list of projects is impressive -- especially when you consider they didn't include the JW Marriott, Intercontinental and 42....  8 towers?

Then I guess it’s staying forever cause the parking deck is going to block and prevent someone to remove it lol
