Popular Post KJHburg Posted January 30, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Here is the website for the new marketing for KDC's 125 Baldwin Tower. As this tower is between the traditional Elizabeth neighborhood and the historic Cherry neighborhood we need to consolidate information in this thread for future reference. Here is the website and feel free to repost anything you have posted before here so we can reference it in the future. https://kdc.com/our-work/125-baldwin 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scribe Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 As I posted in one of the other threads, the zoning plan for this project was approved in June of 2018 and can be found here http://ww.charmeck.org/Planning/Rezoning/2017/175-190/2017-177%20approved%20site%20plan.pdf Since the zoning was already approved, I do not see much issues being posed by either the Elizabeth or Cherry residents. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
go_vertical Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Someone refresh my memory, is this the same lot that had a similar size tower proposed a year or so ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1020AM Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Cherry is no longer "historic". All that history is gone. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally get what you're saying and I don't want to derail this thread, but that's not good enough. My father grew up in Cherry and I played little league there for three years. Drove through there in July when I was visiting before I moved back to Charlotte and damn near cried. History is more than buildings. It's the people. I think folks in this forum forget that because it mostly never affects people that look like them. Cherry is gone. Guys on here complain all the time about old buildings being torn town but are silent when it comes to gentrify old black neighborhoods. Anyway, building looks great if it ever gets built. 13 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
videtur quam contuor Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Cherry has been through several waves of change. https://guides.library.uncc.edu/c.php?g=621704&p=4330545 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighRiseHillbilly Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 Will this thing have a buddy at some point? It looks weird out there all by itself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norm21499 Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 I tall tower is nice, but I wonder what the streetscape will be like for this tower. The Baldwin side doesn't really look that friendly or interactive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KJHburg Posted May 19, 2021 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 yes it looks like marketing is in earnest now. Hope this gets built as it would have awesome views of the uptown skyline. 125 Baldwin – A Mixed Use Development | NAI Southern Real Estate (srenc.com) new video I think too 9 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t_money Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 Drove by this site the other day and noticed there was a sign on the corner advertising this office building. It also looked like the Novant rehab(?) building was no longer in use (corner of 3rd and baldwin). At least that was the first time during a weekday that I have noticed it with 0 cars in the parking lot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KJHburg Posted August 9, 2021 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 that clinic has been closed for a while. They are trying to find a new tenant and my understanding before Covid hit in March of last year they did have an anchor tenant but they pulled out. I still think this tower is a good one great views and good accessibility and hopefully someone will sign on. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post atlrvr Posted April 4, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 So last Friday (on April Fools Day no less) a rezoning was filed for a site plan amendment. The sole purpose of the request was to reduce/remove the left-hand turn lanes from Baldwin onto 3rd (from both directions, the neighborhood and coming from 4th), add a bike lane, and to slightly adjust the cross-walks. The justification was to accomodate CDOT proposed intersection improvements. I mean, I'm not sure if this was a technical requirement that CDOT needed (and is paying for this rezoning) or if this is some sign of life here. 15 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urban Cowboy Posted April 6, 2022 Report Share Posted April 6, 2022 This office would have THE best views in all of Charlotte. Since Novant is too scared to do it, I hope Atrium makes this their HQ. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a stoplight on the rezoning amendment, was that on the original site plan? In any case, the light and crosswalks will make that section of the road a lot more pedestrian-friendly. I live a few blocks from there and I've dashed across 3rd street many a time as there is nowhere to cross between Queens and Charlottetowne. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLOSC843 Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 So did plans for this tower get nixed or is there some bureaucracy involvement that has it stalled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they ever had an anchor tenant. I have no idea if they are still actively marketing the potential tower. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has some nice lines though its nothing fancy for sure. Would have been nice for expanding that area of town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KJHburg Posted September 12, 2022 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 Still marketing this tower https://kdc.com/our-work/125-baldwin but looking for an anchor. Before Covid hit they had one of the major hospital systems that would have anchored or took all the office space but when Covid hit that literally went out the window. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
