Dilworth Walk, from this past Sunday:

[voyager12]

Has anyone heard news about the replacement tenant for the vacant former Longhorn @ Euclid&Morehead? I was hoping for Panera if a local place could not swing it.. but there seems to be nothing going on as of now...

Tremont site work is done, looks like actual construction should start any day.

drove by today, the foundation appears to be nearly complete and a very large crane is on site

[MZT]

Dilworth Walk is being bricked in, now. We can get a much better idea of how it will really look, instead of relying on the website art.

File this under unsubstantiated:

Panera has abandoned its plans for the old Longhorn site. The building does not meet their requirements and the lease terms were too steep even for them. (this is from a business owner down the street, probably not the most objective source). Just wanted to perpetuate the rumor.....

[atlrvr]

Sure would be a good site to demo the building and build something a little more urban.

[Raintree21]

Whatever happened to the plans for the building across the street from the Longhorn where "the best views are yet to come."

[Raintree21]

The CBJ is reporting that the McEwen family want to sell or lease their 1.5 acre funeral home property on Morehead Street. Could this bring another highrise outside of the loop and serve as sort bring some more continuity between the Met and downtown (and Ghazi's project further up Morehead)?

[revitalize]

looks like it would be a great parcel for redevelopment location-wise, but at the same time, is there any historical significance to this building that would make it worth preserving? It has better than average architectural interest i would think...

[voyager12]

Filed under even small things make a difference: Some nice landscaping has been put in place fronting The Latta Pavillion block between Kenilworth and Scott. Amazing how little green touches can make a walk more pleasant and scenic. If only a well designed mixed used development could pop up across the street! Built much more street friendly than LP it could have a lot of cafe outdoor seating and public swing benches and an independent bookstore Oh I will stop now, just going by that empty Epicurean lot on a daily basis kills me and I get obsessed! Placing a great development there would make one of Charlotte's few workable walkable neighborhoods even better!

[rockhilljames]

Gotta admit, that Epicurean lot is an eyesore. It's such a great location, I hope they don't ruin it with something fast-food-ish.

[Raintree21]

Final payments from Ghazi to the property owners of the Lafayette Jewlers site won't be until March of 2009 so that will be when the first major work will start there when the property officially changes hands. So we've got a little time on our hands unfortunately.

I am new to Urban Planet.org and I am really enjoying the Charlotte forums. I didn't know where to ask / post this but I was wondering if anyone out there has heard anything about a new development where the Bi Lo on Park Road is. I have heard some rumors that the Bi Lo will be torn down sometime within the next year and a condominium project will be built. Anyone able confirm this? Thanks for any information you are able to provide.

[dubone]

Others might know more about it, but it was reported in the papers last year that a plan was taking shape for that site, but then nothing came of it.

There is a small infill project in the works for the east side of Kenilworth at Ordermore (very near the power substation). It will be called Ordermore 8. It is pretty cool....a modern version of the arts & crafts bungalow style. I'm not sure who the architect is, but my guess is Anderson Pearson, who did the other infill on Park Rd across from Salem, and 420 Queens (the mod-ish place in Myers Park)

I think the website is http://www.ordermore8.com, but I can't pull it up on my computer. Can anyone? If so, please post a rendering if there is one.

Pretty good looking infill...but wow it is going up right next to the Substation. I would think they are going to put up some serious screening between the substation and their site if people are going to buy there.

My thoughts exactly. Love the look of the project, but that substation is huge and scary.

[Raintree21]

I've always wondered about all of those powerlines and the substation. They take away so much from the area when you look overhead and see huge power lines and hear the hum of the substation. For the prices people are paying in this area, I can't believe they haven't tried to do something about it.

There is a vague rumor posted on Idilworth.org. Someone heard that the part of the block that includeds E. Blvd Bar and Grill is going to be leveled for a new condo development? I have not heard anything about this. You?

I'd hate to see E. Blvd Grill leave. I love it there, and it's always busy. I guess that I could see condos going in though, seems like a very tight space. Hope they plan on taking a lot more than just E. Blvd grill then, and have plans for underground parking.

[voyager12]

I am puzzled as well. I think there are vacancies in the Dilworth CoOp building next door to The Grill. Then there is that older apt house on the corner that could be converted or knocked down but there was recently apts for rent in there so I don't think this plan if it even exists extends that far down.

I thought there was some wax museum or something next door to E.Blvd Grill. Then not far down theres a chinese restraunt and something else. Oh and can't forget about the "large woman" shop. The parking is terrible in there, I don't know how they think they can get condos, but prove me wrong...

[CLT2010]

That is my favorite place to eat in town. That would be a real kick in the stomach i'll ask the owner of the bar and grille if he knows anything next time I'm there. I really can see it happening which is the bad part so if it does I got my fingers crossed they have ground retail so that they can be in there.
