Queensbridge Collective (Uptown Cabaret site) - 3 towers

[JeanClt]

That's some good height. Wish the residential could hit 500 to appear on skyscraper lists but that's just being petty lol.

They should put a 15’ spire on it?

[JeanClt]

Yes, exactly.  

I see…that might have made for an interesting traffic pattern on Carson, but I could see it working. Traffic lights always help making traffic patterns easier to follow and with the right signage I could see it working just fine like diamond interchanges on much simpler smaller scale.

Had to do another one (these are fun to make):

Now that theres some numbers out on the heights for both towers. It's time to play another round of guess the demise of the cabaret/start of construction for this site. 

If I'm correct, it was last speculated that doors might close after NYE - well she's still standing. The Super Bowl is in a few weeks. Maybe this will be last  dance???

I wonder where they would relocate…

I saw tumbleweeds on site yesterday. I thought I heard taps being played also. Did the developer forget they were building it?

some news reporter needs to track down the operator of the club and see when they are closing.  The property is owned by Riverside out of Chicago now so maybe also reach out to them as well.

Any chance this could get downsized? (Though I thought it only increased in scope recently?) I’m under the impression though that it’s chugging along at a good speed?

I mean, it wouldn’t really matter much if it did. I’d imagine it’d be stellar sort of like how Ally Center turned out just as good as the original project

It actually downsized slightly compared to what was proposed…so I wouldn’t think so.

This was the predecessor to the Ally building.  Not the rendering for the queensbridge collective complex.  Here is a rendering of qbc.

Love the look of the rail trail bridge but I still wish they would put some sort of memorable design on it. Like the queen crown logo or something. This is the kind of small fixture that can have a surprisingly large impact on the "image" of a city. People driving through or visiting will remember something distinct like that, growing Charlotte as a place of cultural importance in the national conscience. It's not a St. Louis arch or anything but I think Uptown/South End right now is lacking something super unique and distinct visually other than some nice skyscrapers (though I do love the statues at Trade and Tryon).

I wonder if the Super Bowl is the last big party of uptown Cabaret. 

I heard a rumor today that construction will start within weeks.

Alright everyone, keep your eyes taped open for announcements or shovels in dirt.

Since you seem to know what’s going on here, this good news. I’ll be in Charlotte next weekend and would love to see some action here!

This is very promising!

Is the landscaping across the street something that’s part of the Enterprise site?

This block, the Enterprise block and Wake Forest Med School tower(s) will be very transformative developments for Charlotte/Uptown/SouthEnd. Can't wait to see these get started.

No…should probably never look past the showcased project itself in renderings specifically to sites that don’t pertain to the project. Don’t read too much into what’s extra.

They let you down, but I never will. I’m getting my shovel as we speak.

[Reverie39]

I say we make it a river of lava. Surround Uptown with an impenetrable magma moat like Bowser's castle.

was down at the US Bank branch opening some accounts today and was chatting it up with the ladies there.  One mentioned some corporate real estate people were in town recently and they said they did not like telling people the US Bank corporate staff operations here were in the Truist Tower.  I said I heard you were moving out of that tower.  Got a smile and we are expanding here LOL.   Meant to put this in the Bank Town thread but my subconscious told me to put it here for some reason.  

By the way their CD rates are much much higher than the Stagecoach bank, or the Fractional bank or the Bofa bank by the way.  Only good for the Charlotte MSA area to as they are building deposits.

You should have just put this in the Bank Town thread...
