Truist - New HQ (BB&T-SunTrust Merger)

[Matthew.Brendan]

Let's not be naive here. Police can arrest you any time they feel like it. They may release you after the fact but don't think for a moment that people aren't arrested and held all the time for spurious reasons.

They have to have reasonable cause to arrest you.  Obviously there are going to be some bad apples, as with any group, but they can't be running around arresting people willy nilly like it's the wild west, or we would quickly devolve into a third world country.

...and you can also sue them for wrongful arrest, but police aren't typically arresting for that.  They've all been brought to know what the rights are for public photography and to the actions of "first amendment advocates", its mostly its power hungry security guards.

Anybody care to take a stab at what "Innovative skyline signage" might look like?

LED holograms and virus killing lighting...not sure how much more innovative that can be

A lit-up sign that says TRUIST at the top of the building. Like nothing we've ever seen!

If they can't make it happen within the regs of our brand new, and now very flexible sign ordinance, then it shouldn't happen. 

[Matthew.Brendan]

Ooooh, nice hints.  Flexible you say....

 

[CLT704]

I have no knowledge what soever but maybe something involving projections up the building would be innovative and not ruin the building too much!

Today's C BJ - "Truist seals $456M deal for Uptown HQ tower, setting a new record" by Ashley Fahey

Excerpt:  "Truist Financial Corp. now owns the uptown Charlotte office tower it calls home.   On Tuesday, Truist (NYSE: TFC) acquired the 47-story, 966,000-square-foot Hearst Tower, at 214 N. Tryon St., for $455.5 million, according to Atlanta-based Cousins Properties, Inc. (NYSE: CUZ), the seller.  The bank will rename the building Truist Center.  The tower traded for slightly more than $470 per square foot."   ...  "The deal is a new record-holder for the largest single office property transaction by total sales price in North Carolina, eclipsing last year's sale of Bank of America Tower at Legacy Union by a small margin."  ...  "Truist — the entity that emerged from the combination of BB&T and SunTrust — occupies at least 561,000 square feet at Truist Center.  The bank is backfilling space vacated by Bank of America Corp., Hearst Communications, K&L Gates and others.   "Today marks an important milestone in our journey as Truist Center becomes official," said Kelly King, chairman and CEO of the bank, in a statement."   "Charlotte is one of the world's top financial centers and an emerging fintech hub, and Truist is proud to be a part of this thriving business community."  ...  "The bank said in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, decisions about the building, such as branding, signage and occupancy plans, will be unveiled at a later date.  Earlier this month, the bank filed a rezoning petition to add "innovative skyline signage" to the tower."

And here are the concepts. Tryon and College get full titles at the top, 5th and 6th get the "T" logo.

At least you probably wont be able to read this from the airport! Sidenote: I cant believe there's signage with more SQFT than my condo.

[KJHburg]

Here is a photo of the top of the now named Truist Tower could someone with graphic skills put the Truist logo or name on there as they proposed.  I can picture where it might be.  @Tyree Ricardo?

Truist is back purple again tonight.

Honestly, Hearst is the second best tower in Charlotte.
