Haha right?!

Loopnet listing for 1111 South Tryon which is showing a 42 story office tower of 810,000 sq ft.

(I do think they mean garage parking spaces)

This listing suggests the search for an anchor is still on, and construction won't start until that anchor is landed, yes?  In fact, financing can't even be secured until there's a tenant commitment, right?  If a certain Minneapolis-based bank were really a lock on anchoring this project, would we be seeing this kind of listing?

But if US Bank has committed to 100k or 200k sf, the developer would still need to advertise for the rest of the space.  Thus, I don’t think that this proves that there’s no tenant in place.

Has US Bank made such a commitment?  I thought that was hopeful speculation.  Also, isn’t the entirety of space 810k, meaning the space net of a US Bank commitment should be considerably less than the 810k advertised.

I read the ad as merely stating that the building contains 810k sf — not that 810k sf is available.

Correct the ad is stating the building is 810,000 sq ft.  and this does not mean anything about whether an anchor has been signed on or not.  Many times they will the anchor make the announcement.   The importance of this ad is the first one stating the total size and height in floors.

This tower is going to totally transform SouthEnd.  
 

According to Wall St. analysts, there are strong signs that inflation is starting to come under control.  It’s entirely possible that the economy will be booming by the time that this tower opens.    
 

Bring it on!

These buildings will be nice to gawk at just as Legacy Union X and Duke Energy 2 will be, but in my opinion, Road dieting South blvd and Tryon as well as turning Camden road into an activated, pedestrian-only commons/public square would transform South End.  We may have different ideas of transformation, however.

Those sound like good ideas too.

These would be a different type of project. A public improvement project that would be just as exciting imo! I’m sure others here would likely agree. CDOT has been worrying about capacity and reducing traffic. Of which these would definitely not expand capacity and could increase traffic on those roads and or surrounding roads.

Seeing these pictures of the flat leveled lots, I can't help but think about all the fun times we had... at the ASCOT INN

How visible do we think that these towers will be from Bank of America Stadium?

Very visible from the away side.

They will be seen from the (NW) Graham St/RR-Track side of the Stadium if both the Office & Residential are at least 500’+

Sadly, nowhere else in town to get a vibrating heart-shaped bed beside a jacuzzi.

For those of you that post-date the Ascot Inn's existence, it was on the lot between Midnight Diner's old location and Uptown Cabaret. 

Ascot Inn to meet wrecking ball - Charlotte Business Journal (bizjournals.com)

I had a friend at this time ~1990 and his wife saw his credit card statement in the home desk and there was a line item for Ascot Inn and it had not been  her. 

Let this man's behavior be a lesson for you. Protect your invoices/receipts/statements.

I really hope that Riverside has a tenant. This is an amazing project, and I’d love to see it a few stories above ground when I attend Charlotte FC games next summer.

We used to go there in the late 90's / early 2000's after we left raves. It was kinda fun because you couldn't tell which girls were rave-chicks and which girls were "working" girls.

As crazy as this may sound, there is a very good chance you and I may have been there at the same time for this very same reason.   Many an after party after leaving Liquid Lounge, Mythos, 300 Stonewall/Crush.  Small world indeed.

Site clearing was to start before the end of the year, per the Riverside COO as reported by bizjournals.

Don't believe that'll happen, however.

[KJHburg]

I am wondering if the Uptown Cabaret will close after Dec. 31 New Years eve as I am guessing that is a big night for them?    Until that biz closes this does not start.

 I did see a post for New Years eve party this weekend on their website.
