SouthEnd High-Rise Projects

[SydneyCarton]

Wow!  I wonder if this will be built like LU4 on a pad that doesn’t require excavation.  If so, this could be a few stories above ground by Christmas.

welcome to the city of South End once a down and out aging industrial area now a booming corporate office location and hot neighborhood where the skyline is only getting taller.  Multiple 30 plus story buildings proposed mainly apartments.   Along South Blvd,  South Tryon,  Camden.

Seeing the Desert Rose tower of Jim Gross reminds me that I saw him at my broker office last month. He recognized me as his former neighbor. We chatted briefly. I asked how his East Boulevard project was progressing. He said it is naturally slow as there is a thirty foot below ground excavation and then construction prior to the rise of the project proper. His former major investor was Bill Allen, a metals investor if I recall. He said Bill had moved on to focus on family issues.

Did you take these photos  from Bank of America Stadium or with a drone?  They are really amazing.

Oh no - the Residential portion of the Portman Project should have extensive foundation work probably similar in scale to the Greystar Residential Tower under construction now.  My estimate on this site, if it starts construction by the End of October should be starting to go vertical around the beginning of the 2nd quarter (April’ish)  next year.  If they’re completely sharing parking with the Office Parking Deck (already completed) and not building any with the Apartments then it could be starting to go vertical a month or two earlier.

This photo demonstrates why Clt should emulate Dallas in terms of decking over the highway.   A park like Klyde Warren would be great here.

That’s lovely.  Is that a rendering or is it completed.

I think it’s an actual photo.  I’ve seen the park in person.  It’s gorgeous and has spurred a lot of development around it.  There’s no reason not to do the same thing here.

Miscellaneous Southend high rises I remember when there were just 2 the Arlington and the Hannover apartments on Tremont.  Now look and so many more coming.  Today.   2nd to Last photo is the next big mix used site of high rises the Carolina Foods bakery site.   Last photo reminds me of close in Arlington VA next to DC.

There are so many projects in SouthEnd that I forgot about this one.  Unfortunately, the article in today’s Observer is only for subscribers.

Demolition of the building is delayed by a year due to the historic status. This may be bumped up sooner if the developer decides to save more of the facade/building.

Please for the love of god save our historic facades. I love the modern glass and steel everywhere but we cannot keep erasing Charlotte's historical look too. It is an old pre-Revolutionary east coast city and I'd like it to look the part too. Adds character to the city.

SouthEnd High Rise Construction is really taking off.  Skyline of Future SouthEnd (In 2025 & Beyond) could easily Rival/Be considered in the Top 4/5 Skylines (Height & Density) in the entirety of the Carolinas.

South End’s skyline will definitely be the No. 2 skyline in NC, followed by North Hills, Ballantine, Raleigh, and Durham.  Charlotte’s will always be far ahead of any other NC skyline.

I think that’s a stretch indeed - maybe #4 behind Raleigh and then either a W-S/Durham/Greensboro/Columbia (1 of these) and then SouthEnd (SE).  I think the only way an SE Skyline could possibly ever rival Downtown Raleigh would be if the Gold District (GD)started to take off with a lot of High-Rise activity in the next 2 or 3 years before the march of Mid-Rise construction eats up all of the available Lots.  High-Rises in SE/GD/LoSo & nearby Dilworth combined could/may Rival a Raleigh of 2030 or beyond and would certainly overtake the other above named Carolina Cities.

At this risk of wading into a city v city:

Raleigh has 7 highrises downtown >= 20 stories

Charlotte South End (not including LoSo or Gold District or Dilworth expect fronting South Blvd) will have 10 including what is already built + projects that have applied for building permits already, or 13 if you include the projects that are in land-use review (which usually happens right before permitting phase)

Obviously South End is more linearly spread out.....speaking of which, Myrtle Beach really is #2

Idiots. Should never be allowed to delay for a year. Developer should reverse what he/she already restoring as a big middle finger on principle. Everything that is wrong with government is embodied in this delay for no practical reason other than that sake.

Developer bought an historic property knowing restrictions on development of historic properties

You think Ballantyne has a more impressive skyline than downtown Raleigh? Lmao

That was a typo.  My list is as follows: 
 

Uptown, South End, North Hills,  Raleigh, and Durham.

I know of 7 that haven't gone into permitting yet, and there are two South End projects that would be the tallest in Raleigh.

A delay of the sake of nothing is not a restriction. Idk what it is, but it’s nothing but something that cost both a developer and society at large negatively for nothing gained.

Charlotte has hundreds of developable parcels that don’t have historic buildings on them. We aren’t exactly running out. We are however running out of historic buildings. We can take our time developing some parcels  to make sure that our history is preserved as much as/if possible
