Attempted to model the building based on the initial rendering and the description a couple of pages back.  No clue how close this is, but a tower of this scale will definitely make an impact.  Very c

Gorgeous. I like the way the towers are oriented too because they will really grow Charlotte's North/South skyline. There's been talk here, and I agree, of wanting to not turn into Atlanta with its incredibly long linear downtown, but there's something to be said about a jaw-dropping skyline and we're really going to have one looking at it from the East or West after this is made. There's plenty of time to expand in those directions in the future.

Also I really like that the central office tower sits between the two similar residential towers. It won't feel like there's much repetition in the skyline that way. 

While the rapid development of South End is creating a feeling of a long and skinny skyline similar to Atlanta.  I feel this is not going to be the case in the 2035-2040 time frame.

Most of the uptown projects that will have a major impact on density are either in progress, development, or have future plans.  While inevitably, not all of these will come to fruition as planned.  Several will, and they will both add density to our skyline and increase walkability up town. 

The 2020s may be about the metaphoric and literal rising of South End, but I predict the 2030s will see a return of focus to uptown.

By 2040 our Uptown/South End combination will be on par with any major downtown area outside of NYC, Chicago, and Miami. 

We will have density from the Gateway district all the way to the Spectrum Center/CTC and from Tepper's district to McDowell St.  

This isn't even including the Atrium health district.  Which will practically connect to uptown by that point.

 

3rd Ward/4th Ward

Legacy Union:    4th tower to break ground by the end of 2022.  Full build out by 2025 to 2028?

Gateway Station:  First phase nearing completion.  Should start going vertical with phase 2.  Full build out by 2035?

Tepper Entertainment District:  No Formal plans yet, but should go into motion with the hypothetical new stadium build out?  Possibly in coordination with Gateway Station.  Full build out by 2035?

Existing Duke Energy Re-Development:  Currently waiting on the completion of the Duke Energy plaza, but will be sold for redevelopment (including the deck next to it and the BOA Stadium.  No publicly released plans, but will likely be built out to complement the Gateway Station and Tepper Entertainment District.  Full Build out by 2040?

SkyHouse Office Building/Publix:  Still in the design stage.  Won't do much for density but every little bit helps,  Helps stretch Uptown from one side of 277 to the other down Tyron.  Completed by 2025?

 

1st Ward:

Spirit Square and Library Remodel:  Main tenant confirmed (Truist):  Library nearing end of design phase?  Full build out by 2030?

 

2nd Ward:

CTC Redevelopment:  Contingent on completion of Gateway Station/District and a tear down of the current CTC.   Will also include complicated underground facility.   Despite the complications, the transportation aspect of this one should ensure it happens at some point.   Full build out by 2040?

Epicenter Re-Development:  Admittedly a bit wishful thinking here, but hopefully the CTC re-development helps brings back life to this once thriving area.  Re-developed by 2040?

Brooklyn Village:  Assuming this comes to fruition at some point.  While this won't do much for our skyline.  It will add much needed mid level and ground level density.  Build out by 2040?

Convention Center Expansion/Hotel:  Another one that may be wishful thinking thanks to Covid.  This will add more ground level and mid level density.  Could also  add to the skyline with a hotel.  Completion by 2040?

 

*TL:DR.  The future is very bright for both Uptown AND South End.  We are very fortunate that as a city almost all of our available land is under development/design.

Note that none of the above is including anything related to Levineland in 1st ward.

No heights or tenants announced… I’m assuming the “national wellness brand” is going to be Equinox. 

I would think Life Time Athletic. They have a smaller urban concept they introduced in Buckhead that has Coworking like this one does. It was supposed to happen at Legacy Union and never did.

Could any of our sharp UP illustrator's give us a quick example of how these two projects will compliment one another, and what impact will the "enterprise tower" have on the visibility of the main "blue glass" tower 1111 S Tryon? 
 

Thanks in advance! 
 

Pic 3 = piss poor illustration on my part, but would this be the approximate footprint of both developments?

I just looked into it and the concept seems interesting however the Buckhead location is 90,000 sq ft so if it is Life Time Athletic then we are getting the budget version which seems to be a trend lately.

1000s of people will be either living or working above all this retail. High end apartments. High profile project. In an area that is going to be surround by other towers/retail. Seems like a home run to place the long waited Uptown/Southend Apple store. Although apple stores tend to be a little larger in square footage than these retail spots could offer, the location would undoubtedly be prime.

I do think Apple will come to SouthEnd, sooner rather than later, but I think given their space needs, it is going to be developed with the project from the group up. That said, the average apple store is 8400sqft (thanks google) and if they combined retail spaces here, you could get close to that.

well never mind then! haha. I though they were working on a much smaller sized version, Equinox it is then.

Queens Bridge Collective is the name of the midnight diner site development. Who is building a nearby pedestrian bridge? Coincidence?

 

PS. Can there be a separate thread for the Queens Bridge Collective development?

I think this is the separate thread.  May just need to be renamed.
