KJHburg 67780 Report post 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 10 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scribe 1775 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
go_vertical 1229 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is just the most current iteration of that project. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 11 4 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HighRiseHillbilly 662 Report post Posted January 31, 2020 Will this thing have a buddy at some point? It looks weird out there all by itself. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norm21499 724 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
