210 Trade | EpiCentre

[unccmyway]

i guess it is kinda a pain in the butt to find the older post with that pic. Didn't realize that it was so far back.

here's a question - what does everyone think is the best floor and view as an investment opportunity at 210 trade from 400+? for the sake of argument, let's say price is not an issue, but penthouses are out. do people typically snatch up the highest levels first in a building this tall? what are the pros/cons?

opinions?

[UrbanCharlotte]

Isn't that obvious? The best floorplan availible would be the 42 floor (I think it's not a penthouse) with a view of the skyline.

[atlrvr]

Typically the first units to go are the cheapest units that have skyline views....

Some Pics of construction. Enjoy.

THANK YOU for posting the terrific pics! I'm thousands of miles away, but get to enjoy watching this project come to fruition through all of your great photos:)

[UrbanCharlotte]

They're probably going to pour the second level of parking tonight/today ( a big slab, but not large compared to the whole site ) We can finally say the Epicentre is up to level 2 ( in some parts.)

They've got the pump down at the site tonight. Guess they'll be pouring all night.

first post - i just moved to charlotte in february and after much thought I have decided to buy at 210 trade. When does the sales office open (or is it already open)? This is an amazing project. I only hope it opens by q4 2007 only because I dont want to have to look at this webcam for more than 18 months.

[turbocraig]

Welcome, moving uptown. You can scroll back through the posts on this thread for more info about the Sales Center, but if I'm remembering correctly, it opens sometime in June in the Charlotte Plaza/Grant Thornton building.

[UrbanCharlotte]

Yea, watching too much of the construction can make some people (me) go insane. It would be nice if it could be built in a few days. Easily one of my favorite projects uptown. Great choice, hopefully many will follow you and this thing will sell out ( Why not?)

i dont think this has been posted yet but http://www.charlotte.com/mld/charlotte/business/14680104.htm

so "black fin" a ny based restaurant. sounds exciting. add in lucky strike lanes (lounge bowling alley) and fox sports grille and places like mama fus and planet smoothie this place looks exciting.

i just hope they dont price themselves into the stratosphere. That is the main concern.

Looks like a pretty cool place - I'd definitely at least try it out. The menu looks pretty standard, but if the atmosphere is right, it could be great. I assume they'll adjust prices for the Charlotte market...

[turbocraig]

I don't know that they'll need to adjust their pricing at all. That seems pretty normal for upper scale bar/restaurants here as it is.

[UrbanCharlotte]

We need to get a Lucky Strike in the EpiCentre.

It'd suck if they backed out.

[dubone]

Well, the Dyer article still mentioned that "the project also aims to include a movie theater and a lounge-style bowling alley," but it seems like deals aren't inked yet. That means it might not be included in the end.

But it also seems to me that if they are still planning to include them and it is this far along in the design and construction process, that the facilities will end up getting built regardless of operating contracts.

[atlrvr]

In the ICSC (I think that's who) article from a few months back, they indicated that local BAR management group would operate the bowling alley.

I think the Lucky Strike rumor persists because the local media keeps regurgitating old rumors.

[moving uptown]

i just walked by the sales center at 201 college st and they have a 6 ft rendering of the building - it looks amazing. I didnt have my camera with me but if you guys head out to the "Charlotte "Eats" festival, pop on over.

[UrbanCharlotte]

Well in a project that is flying through construction, looks like they're pouring another big portion of the second level of parking. Incredible pace theyre working at.

Heres a pic of the model, and yes I counted 53 stories.

Now all they need is an old First Union logo at the top and it will be set.

[Charlotteman]

Ohmigod, is 210 Trade really gonna look like this model, with the green glass????

Simply G*O*R*G*E*O*U*S!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed big time that the completed project will have this lucious green glass, and doesn't aloft look awesome in the model?

[turbocraig]

Oh dear.... not so sure about the green... I'll have to see it in person when I go over to TofC today.

[sleightofhand]

Where is their sales center located? I want to go and check it out.

[dubone]

Inside Charlotte Plaza/Grant Thorton/Darth Vader building on the east side of College Street between 3rd and 4th.

I'm a little skeptical that it'll be such green glass, but I agree it is kind of cool looking.

[AuLukey]

Is it just me or is aLoft floating in this picture? That would be awesome to walk under a building like that.
