NoDa (N Davidson St Arts District) Projects

[Guest]

Trammel Crow out of Atlanta is going to be developing Alexan Highland Mill. I'd imagine It'll be renamed Alexan at Tompkins Hall. It'll be 250 units, 5 floors, wrapped parking deck, with 0 retail, which is very unfortunate. They also developed a apartment building in conjunction with Krog Hall in Atlanta, done by Whitestone's affiliate Paces Properties. That project also didn't have retail, I guess the idea is for it to feed off the Food Hall. Guess we will see how this goes...

I don't think 0 retail is too bad when, as you've stated, it's next door to a giant food hall/retail facility. I understanding wanting to have a whole corridor where you can walk around going from place to place with retail but given Thompkins Hall and it's massive scale, that will be a huge destination in of itself. Might be tough for other retail to prosper in its immediate area.

Where is this located?

I believe its roughly bounded by N Brevard St/Parkwood Avenue, and E 16th St in Optimist Park.

Oh? Then this is the project that I was told by the developer at a public rezoning meeting one month ago would be parking for Highland Park mill. This means they lied to my face when I asked them if they were considering apartments with this TOD petition. So this begs the question: why lie?

Actually no. It's between 13th and Belmont Ave fronting Caldwell and brevard. Nice gap bridged between alpha mill and optimist park

That makes more sense.  They're really going to need to put a light at Caldwell and Belmont

^A new traffic signal is already planned there, plus a new left turn lane and crossing island at 16th.

I wish the Johnson YMCA would sell off their land with promise of spaces in a developments parking deck. Just Random.

Noda Street Market is going to be pretty cool. They have Divine Barrel signed, will be great to see this project come together.

Is the area between the buildings (not the patio with sail) being used for parking?

you betcha.

Besides the NoDa Street Market project, has any other developer expressed interest in developing on the eastern fringes of NoDa (N. Davidson from Craighead to Sugar Creek)? The area has several empty lots, not to mention several buildings that could be reused for new development. Seems odd that there doesn't seem to be anything planned there, especially since the Sugar Creek Station is just a few steps away.

My guess for the lag is twofold: Since South End has already established itself as Charlotte's very first "sure thing" TOD market, it may take a little longer; if every new infill project makes the next one more lucrative and ensured, then South End will only continue its preeminent representation in the market.
Plus, there's just so much damn space between 36th St and Uptown that it all may fill in before we see NoDa's "warehouse district" get more infill.

It was legitimately shocking to approach the crescent project and realize how big it had gotten without much notice. It's just hidden enough from Davidson to escape attention, but it's really apparent how dramatically NoDa will change with the light rail opening and all the construction along it.

Not much that we didn't already know but, here is a link to their dedicated site.

It's not loaded with any good detail, but it's a start I guess.

Apparently, they are only targeting bearded men...

^I guess there shooting for the crazy Millennial crowd since that seems to be the vibe here.

And here I was... embarrassed, because I've known the guy in the stock photo since I was 8.

There's no thread for this stretch of N Tryon between Sugar Creek Rd and Eastway Dr, so it's going in the NoDa thread, bruh:

Affordable apartments and townhomes are being built, mostly reserved for seniors.

Address is: 120 Bingham Dr. (I can't tell which side of that street it's on... can anyone tell?)

Project includes:

▪ 60 units of multifamily housing, in a three-story building, reserved for people 55 and older. The apartments would be rented to people with 60 percent or less of the area’s median income.

▪ Five townhouses, which would not be age-restricted.

Only real bummer to me is that it's literally directly in between the Sugar Creek and Old Concord BLE stations, way too far to be TOD, especially for seniors. But, beggars can't be choosers since Habitat for Humanity Charlotte is who sold them the land. Better than nothing.

I've been seeing this rendering at press events for Crescent Noda Station, but this is the first time I've been able to get a hold of it. 

[UPNoDa]

RDF....I'm having trouble placing that pedestrian bridge. We know that the 36th St station is elevated and traffic headed towards Tryon from NoDa will go underneath the station. With that said, the 36th St station will be grade separated with LRT and freight bridges, so will residents at Crescent NoDa be walking "over" a passing freight train?

Some shots of Crescent 36th St.

First from the spur tracks next to the tire warehouse and behind Fat City Lofts (you can see the Johnston Mill's office building on the right).

Then from inside The Yards at NoDa's parking lot (they still have their private gate up that will connect to Crescent's private street.
