Cousins has submitted land use plans for the surface lot at E Bland and LRT (parking lot across Bland from Hot Taco).

300 units

12,000 sq ft of retail

656 park spots

I know everyone is going to freak out over the # of park spots, but I believe this will be to support the gradual redevelopment of the Hot Taco building, likely starting with the surface lot at the far end along Tryon.

I’m actually floored we are getting so much vertical development, including structured parking.  Our pace of densification just isn’t happening in many other places in the sunbelt from what I’m gathering.  I don’t think we’ll get around abundant, on-site parking access anytime soon, especially given transit system expansion is in the druthers and a long ways off, and given growing American anxiety over spending too much time in shared public spaces.   Best I can hope for now is that the projects designed with all this structured parking do their best to hide the garages and to create plenty of pedestrian accessibility/connectivity.

One of the most consequential policy-makers in our time may wind up being Taiwo.

Hopefully whatever Cousins builds here on Bland can follow the lead of the Arlington and be something colorful / outside the box.  Ever since the Arlington was built I have hoped that whenever more large-scale development makes it that far out, the Arlington could be a fore-runner for more unique urban fabric.  I always imagined more modern / sleek, yet colorful designs.  

This would likely be the Arlington's first true neighborly peer.  Maybe they should go for green glass?

What do you guys think about the two 19 Story Buildings proposed (as per Charlotte Observer article) along Tremont Ave?  This a dense enough use of this parcel?

I do read Gordon Rago!  The past few days, however, I couldn't seem to get past the headline that a dead body, suspected homicide, was found adjacent to Truist Field.  I literally had to do a search for Cousins Properties in the site search bar based on your post.   Not sure what that's about.  At any rate, no timeline given for the start of construction, so this might take a while to come out of the ground.  Can someone share with me what they know about our policy for burying power lines?  I'm guessing Queensbridge Collective will bury?  Given the size of this project, would it bury?  The OG Ashton South End doesn't have power lines around it?  Does burial happen once a project is a certain size/height, or is there no hard and fast rule and it's totally at the discretion of the developer?

Seems like Cousins has a bit too many Irons in the Fire in SouthEnd.  First is Bland St and now Tremont Ave.  Hopefully something breaks ground soon instead of them sitting on these lots like a mother hen on her developing eggs…

I think they will go with apartment tower first on Tremont and maybe that again on the Bland St site then do the office buildings later. Cousins is big and well capitalized

I had read that.  I was going to post it, but for some reason, for several months at this point, my phone and computer give me limited access to this site.  I can  only post when I receive a notification that someone posted in a thread that I had posted in.
 

SouthEnd looks amazing.

That Developer (which their Portfolio is online) is great at making the ground floor look distinct & human scale towards the base. They do really good work 

On the right hand side of the rendering, it looks like the bottom portion even varies in height & color of material.

Jason Thomas just posted these on IG.  This is the lot across from Wooden Robot and next to Hoppin.  I was wondering how they were going to use that narrow long lot.  
 

First impression is that I like it.   Its colorful, interesting, looks huge and Jason said it will have retail.

WOW! Now that is an amazing looking project! I would love to just copy/paste it all over Charlotte. I wish uptown could get developments like this. SouthEnd is getting way better developments IMO than uptown. 

Love that most of the developments in SouthEnd contribute to the character of the area and have personality. This is definitely one of my favorite looking projects in many years in CLT. High quality projects > Height. Preferably both but I’d take this over a shiny bland but tall project every day of the week. 
 

 glad to see!

I think it is absolutely gorgeous.

this is behind the Railyard on Winnifred street.  It is a nice looking project I have heard about this project but the first time I have seen a rendering.   It looks great I agree.  That is Delray Ventures and Dallas based Lincoln Property Group affiliated company of Lincoln Harris.

I am all for more steel and concrete structures. The time has passed for matchstick building in that area.

[JorgiPorgi]

This is immaculate.  Not to mention the retail, but the colors and steel look great. I hope this is not value engineered. Such a win for Southend. 

[RANYC]

The over-under for ground-breaking?  I say 30 months, y/e 2025.

It is so odd to me to see the South End skyline driving down 77  South, but I love it!

Same here - I think though, that it’ll still be some time (maybe 2025 or lil later) before South End burgeoning Skyline begins to supplant others in NC as being more dense and tall.  Anyone care to guess in what order will be the top 5 skyline in the State in 2025?

(Raleigh, North Hills, Greensboro, Durham, Charlotte, Winston, South End, etc.). Dang this is too easy, nevermind.  Funny that Charlotte was dubbed  ‘Sprawl City’ in that bloggers post but by far has the most dense urban core in the State and a least Top 5 in the Southeast.

People say Atlanta, Dallas & Houston are sprawling and they have pretty large cores outside their primary downtown. Buckhead & Midtown rival many downtowns in skyscraper prowess in the nation.

Not sure if this has been posted yet or not but sterling bay is planning to put 371 apartments on the Sandwich Max site. Given how small the site is I would assume that this would put it over 400'. Does anyone have any information on this?
