Honeywell HQ to Charlotte

[Hushpuppy321]

I wonder if the Column Issue between floors 11 & 13 was a Construction Mistake.  Looking at it closely (from OxBlue Cam) it could have been.

I hope not, but I doubt it.

 

I remember when Wells Fargo Tower was being built in Norfolk, VA a few years ago, there were many columns that appeared crooked or out of place and people were actually calling the city about it. They were not mistakes just the way the structure had to be designed.

I think it might be short-sighted to suggest less dense offices are merely a response to slowing COVID-19, in part because work-from-Home has been so successful.  No one is going to significantly change the layout of a major office building as a short-term bridge until COVID-19 vaccination.

I'm still not convinced that companies are going to declare WFH a success. I think, at best, companies might be more open to WFH one or two days a week. While there are certain roles that may do fine from home, I haven't talked to anyone who isn't ready to be back in an office. 

Adding to that, I think some companies will be forced to increase square footage per person. As mentioned, some places have crammed in staff so they might have a 2x3 workstation, at best. That kind of work environment I think will definitely be revisited (and it should be, I think that's an awful environment under any circumstance.)

Love to see Honeywell grow and hopefully they will need more space soon than their new tower.

Not to sound like a Pollyanna, but that's a very nice façade for a garage.

Wait. Only 5 or six. So this thing has how many levels of actual office space?

10 floors of office, ground level retail 12 levels of parking to match neighboring deck. 

[navigator319]

Yea 10 plus the glass atrium on top. So that’s 9 more floors to go. They only just pouring the ceiling of the first office floor.

only one floor of office has been half poured...

Just gonna put this as a reminder here...

Honeywell should be significantly taller than the deck, and likewise should top out well over the height of the giant screen at BofA stadium.

This is not the current renderings. Worth noting that the building seems to have changed slightly since this rendering as well.

Based on appearance, it seems this center piece is slowly cantilevering out. Maybe its just a optical illusion I'm not sure, actually

I mean, I hope that is for design purposes and not an ugly grey concrete cantilever.

I just drew that in, because it sort of looks like its cantilevering out to me.

I saw the same thing and wondered if that was  changed.

Yeah that’s what I thought. I’m like I know this was about 10 floors not 6.

Ok but it says 5 more to go when only one has been completed. That’s why I was confused.

It’s amazing this has more levels of parking than it does office floors. As an HQ, seems like Honeywell is going to run out of space sooner than later.

Well the story I got is that Majority of Honeywell's employees aren't exactly office/administrative people, the majority of their business does not occur in a corporate environment. I would imagine that they do build a second tower uptown at some point, but it'll be a few years out.
