I was browsing on the Charlotte Explorer website, looking at planned/proposed roadways, when I noticed that there is a proposal to create a “North Tryon Parallel Road” that would run roughly parallel with North Tryon to the north and the Blue Line/Main Line to the south, between the 36th Street Station and the Old Concord Station. 
 

One thing that stood out to me was that the road’s alignment has it cutting straight through the Asian Corner Mall.

Lotsa site work and new demolition fencing  (not pictured) at the old N Tryon Mall at Eastway.

Hmm what that’s about I wonder 

[KJHburg]

@kermit is that the old North Park Mall at eastway and N Tryon or the old Tryon Mall at Tryon and Sugar Creek.  The former is going to be the new hub for the library book storage etc.

If I not mistaken, Richway which was the predecessor to Target was the primary anchor of that mall until Target built it's current location on University City Blvd back in the early 90's!

[KJHburg]

Yes then Kermit's photo is the new CM Library book storage and back office being built as a part of the new Library uptown which will very few offices in the future.

Yes it was Richway with the 4 pyramids on top, then Gold Circle then Target and yes I  used to visit this NorthPark Mall when visiting my aunts in Harrisburg.

The old Tryon Mall is being redeveloped. Also, the parking lot is being graded for a future multi-family project:

The area around the Sugar Creek light rail station is quickly blowing up. Hopefully the old NorthPark Mall is next.

it is supposed to be around 600 apartment units and first phase of 80k sq ft of office and retail according to the Pass marketing brochure talking about developments nearby.

Is this Project within the LightRail Line’s Sphere of Development & Influence?  Just curious if that is promoting growth in this area?

What do you mean? This is at the corner of Tryon and Sugar Creek.

So it is within 1/4 Mile of the Lightrail Station.  Do you think that proximity is driving the growth here?

I reject the naming of NoDa for this, so will post here to help the developer out.

Alliance Residential (of the "Broadstone" brand) who is doing luxury mid-rises seemingly everywhere has a new "workforce housing" concept proposed.

Prose Noda is planned where the old US Post Office was at the southeast corner of N Tryon and Matheson. 

303 units.  Units will be smaller than average and more modest amenities than normal.  Alliance says they try to achieve 20% lower rents that comparable luxury apartments would be.

Don't worry, still plenty of parking  394 spaces

I thought this was supposed to become a QT at one point? I wish the developer luck!

here is what Alliance Broadstone says about their Prose brand:  and bravo for them to build more affordable units with less amenities.   From their website it looks like they forgo balconies on the apartments but many are in more suburban areas and this is more an urban location. 

 

Prose, Alliance’s workforce housing brand was established in 2018 to address demand for quality affordable apartments. Through years of research and development, we created highly cost-efficient product constructed to a lower price point, targeting rents up to 20% lower than comparable apartments. This important segment starts to address a growing affordability gap and a shortage of affordable housing.

This looks like a good place to post this...  Could imagine a concept like this in this section of town... 

 

[kermit]

^ Modernized bungalow courts and reclaimed street space are a hell of a combination. This was great.

[KJHburg]

What LoSo is to Southend this area is to NoDa.  Here is my suggestion is that we called it Sugaw in honor of the colonial name or Sugaree in honor of the Native Americans who lived there. Any way it needs a name for burgeoning area and I think it is different than NoDa .  

here is what is going on in the area right now and a lot more planned.  Most of these photos are off Raleigh St where the LYNX Sugar Creek station garage is located.

first 2 photos will be an adaptive reuse with apartments wrapping that parking garage.   3rd photo is the parking garage for LYNX.  The Pass is next door Third and Urban's project.

New for sale townhomes by Pulte at the end of Raleigh St next to current truck parking lot.   With Tryon Mall redeveloping soon this whole area is blowing up and will be remade that will be completely different in the next few years.  I suggest Sugaw or Sugaree as the new name.
