from todays Biz Journal

"""It was an opportunity Noi Vong couldn’t pass up. The entertainment industry veteran has snapped up a 7,000-square-foot spot at the AvidXChange Music Factory for a new venture called Bazal Gallery Venue.  Vong says that space — which previously housed Butter nightclub and most recently Club One — has long been a favorite of his. He's also behind QC Social in uptown.  His aim is to create an upscale experience and venue, unlike anything offered in the Queen City currently.""

Upscale entertainment venue to open this year at AvidXchange Music Factory - Charlotte Business Journal (bizjournals.com)

Is this place accessible via mass transit?  Been in Charlotte two years, but never to Music Factory.  Assuming this is outside of Uptown, yes?

No in a corner of uptown where 77 and Brookshire freeway meet 277

I see where this is going.

Had to go way back to find this thread but big townhome project proposed in this area.   From the Charlotte Ledger about a rezoning by Lennar right next to the RR tracks and milling operation and across the street from the Music Factory and across Johnson St from the cemetery.  

""Site plan calls for up to 96 townhomes with a maximum height of 55 feet. Called “Music Factory Townhomes.”""  from the Charlotte Ledger

Great to see some new residential over here! But I am a bit sad that they're not continuing the ROW on Johnson & 9th. It would be fantastic to see 9th connected over the tracks, and would really make the whole area around the Music Factory feel and act like a part of Uptown. The nearest at-grade crossing is at Summit, but it shows that it can be done. Who would be responsible for making this happen? The impact on connectivity (especially for these new residents) would be huuuuuge. Also, do we know if these are rentals or for-sale units?

I suspect these are for sale townhomes by Lennar and I doubt the railroads would not want another crossing but if you look closely maybe a ped crossing.

ADM property will be the key to stitching together this part of town. Whenever that becomes feasible.

I have crossed those tracks at 9th street on foot. It is daunting and I felt the railroad bulls were going to run me off.

thanks for the photos @QCxpat  very interesting site for townhomes by 2 railroad lines and the ADM milling operation which is quite noisy.

I see this area shifting from the industrial uses to more residential and commercial uses. This transition is going to occur

[KJHburg]

I cant wait to see the disclosures from the builder on this one especially if they are for sale.  Per NC disclosure law you have to disclose if there is industrial  and railway noise but since these are new they would be exempt.  However I suspect the builder will disclose this anyway as many times they do in situations like this.

I'd live there in a heartbeat! The trains are normally pretty slow, aand I cant think of one time I've heard their horn blow. PLUS that is my all time favorite  side of the skyline!

Whoever bought this lot and put up a storage unit a few years ago certainly knows what they are doing.  l look forward to the day it's torn down and they put up a 30+ floor condo.

He’s just link building for someone trying to rank better for the term electronic music (it links to the site he’s trying to improve search rankings for). Probably a bot actually.
