Pictures of New Building Construction in Charlotte

[dubone]

You pretty much won't be able to see that side once 300 S Tryon goes up, except from the street when you look up.

[auscube]

yikes....I don't like it. It looks like they ran out of glass and couldn't complete it.

Looks like a bit of Wach 1, 2, and 3 all on one building. Interesting, but a bit schizo!

[dubone]

Those are reflections. It is really an all glass building .

Levine Childrens Hospital should have 2 cranes, or are they going to take one down?

[dubone]

Oh, they have two at the hospital? I thought they only had one. I just took a photo the other day, and only saw one. There might be another one elsewhere on the campus, though, that I'm forgetting.

[unccmyway]

isn't the other one in that picture at the hospital?

[dubone]

EDIT: I'm not going to remove it and correct my earlier post, because it is sheer comedy. I looked at another picture and only saw one crane, and accidentally posted another photo, which, um, proves that there is a second crane. No excuses. Just, um, make that "2" cranes for CMC .

[Mobuchu]

Its ok D. I can see how you were confused and thought that crane on the left was holding up the street lights.....

230 is really moving along quickly, if only it wasn't going to be stucco... Also, I try to keep up monthly construction status for all high-rise projects currently going on in Charlotte and a few others here for anyone thats interested in checking them out

This summer is going to be amazing for cranes. Some of you guys are keeping track better than I am, but here is what I have for Summer 2006:

2 at Trademark

1 at Avenue

2 at Epicenter

1 at Ritz

1 at Levine Children's Hospital

1 at Lamplighter

1 at the old Children's Theater

Did I miss any?

The Lamplighter will be down by then, and the old Children's theatre never had one.

The one on Fenton Place might possibly still be up then, but I have my doubts.

There is a chance that there could be cranes at Citadin and Garrison this summer as well, but I'm not holding my breath.

By winter, in addition to those mentioned by dubone, we should see cranes at Quarterside, C, and The Park (maybe), and maybe Wachovia to help with the parking deck.

Three cranes, a church steeple and a Carillon building...

[Seabreeze]

Beautiful shot!

[NCtarheel]

they look like robot sentinels attacking the carillon....just got done watching war of the worlds.

[Mobuchu]

Had no idea where to put these, but here ya go. The condo/apartment going over Tic Toc on Tryon. Talk about a great spot for people watching, your stairs to roof deck or from your living room.

woah... where is that exactly? I really like it.

[cinco]

man, talk about loving life... that's a nice crib. very different for tryon. is this place unique in the sense it's the only free standing single family dwelling on tryon, in uptown? nice pic.

[Mobuchu]

woah... where is that exactly? I really like it.

Near 8th st. I think. Tic Toc Cafe is the botom floor. Tryon House apartments is the building to the right

[SmellyCat]

very cool. I want to live there.

im actually tired of all the large scale superblock development... It's nice to see incremental developments like this, that give the streets a real sense of scale and development over time. It complements the older buildings next door by not trying to be one of them. i think the arena tower, although huge in comparison is another good example. The Presto Grill isnt too shabby if something would be built alongside it.

[Mobuchu]

This project is alot bigger then I thought. How much taller is it going to be, there's still plenty of space under those cranes?

I think it's pretty much topped out based on the renderings I've seen.. maybe one more floor. Soon that whole facade will be covered in curved glass with colored accents. It's gonna get a lot more interesting from here on out.

[redjeep77]

that hospital complex is massive

[atlrvr]

I believe the separate structure under construction on the right side is supposed to get a good bit taller, if in fact that is the surgical tower....it's hard to tell from this angle....if so, it's supped to be a total of 14-15 stories, and will be the tallest part of the hospital.

[turbocraig]

^Is that tower part something that's changed from the original plan? Levine's site has a rendering here:

Either way, it's going to be impressive.

[atlrvr]

The Levine hospital I believe is to the left of that large vergitcal concrete slab that extends all the way up. I believe the surgical tower is to the right of that slab.....this is a bad angle to see it. It was originally 7 stories, and was approved for a 4-story addition. They have since requested another addition of 3 or 4 floors....I don't know what the status is on that request, but I don't think it was going to be too controversial since I believe they were just shifting beds, rather than adding them. The surgical tower expansion is a completely separate from the Levine Tower, though I think they hired the same Project Manager to do both projects for coordination sake....they also just built a new power plant as well.
