New BofA Tower

[peaceloveunderstanding]

yea and thankfully that is the case. I am sure that the little writing would not get the information before a major news source, such news would be in every newspaper...

I personally don't see BofA pulling their corporate headquarters out of Charlotte anytime in the foreseable future. Like many people have already said, they've invested quite a lot in to Charlotte economically. Just because they are building new towers elsewhere or adding jobs elsewhere, does not mean that they are moving their headquarters, it simply means they are trying to expand nationally and globally. This is the Bank of America, not the Bank of Charlotte, where everything must be. Although it would be nice.

Wouldn't that be awesome. We would have like the 4th largest skyline in the US.

Here is for you people in fear......this was announced today.

I would hope so, their profits increased like 75% in the last quarter. Maybe the will build more towers to put all the new employees in.

[CLTfanatic]

Maybe they will just tack on another 40 floors to their current proposal.

[UptownJ]

I would like them to put a couple of new trading floors ... ie the charlotte stock exchange.. :-)

[Rickydavisfan21]

have you not seen the hearst trading floor, I am pretty sure that is the BofA trading floor, its huge

[UptownJ]

oh I've see it... its really nice but I am talking about a many trading floors... right at street level to see all the traders going crazy... it would be kool to see...

I was reading through some old threads, (like 8 months ago) and saw that BoFA was going to build a tower at 7th and Tryon. It is also shown on the Updated project rundown map. What is the status on this?

[turbocraig]

I believe that tower was contingent on an anchor tentant that BofA was trying to get signed onto the project. For whatever reason, the deal fell through and with no one to commit to a substantial portion of the building, they shelved it for now.

[appatone]

I don't know if we ever really found out what happened to the proposal but it is dead. I kind of think that since BofA doesn't own The Plaza building anymore they may have been playing with the idea of building a new 40 floor tower to replace it. It would have continued BofA's N. Tryon dominance and would have been a wonderful civic gesture in the form of including The Betcler in the base. I think BofA decided not to spend the money and renew thier lease for ten years at BofA Plaza and they will probably end up doing something more elaborate in several years. Just a hunch, I could VERY well be wrong, TurboCraig could be right, maybe they didn't get an anchor that they thought would be coming. There are so many things that could have factor into BofA's choice not to go forward with the building.

Sorry to bump this so high, but does anyone have a rendering of the Corporate Center 2 building that was proposed for the site where the Ritz-Carlton is being built? I know I have seen one, but I can't find it. Thanks.

Thanks! It's been driving me crazy.

[sleightofhand]

I forgot all about this.

Is this still going to happen? When?

[dubone]

I think this was posturing to have a good negotiating position for the lease at BofA Plaza.

Floors: 40

Companies involved: Bank Of America & Trammell Crow Company

Facts

- Proposed for the block that currently contains the Hall House. At this point it is unknown if it will be incorporated into this project.

I was just wondering if anyone has heard about this project, and has more information on it.

[MZT]

Oh, man. Is dubone ever gonna "go off", if the Hall House is really slated for demo. Bye bye "grit".

[Jerseyman4]

That intersection sounds familar, isnt there a church nearby? A photo of mine is somewhere up there around UP for this church in uptown.

[peaceloveunderstanding]

A 40 story tower right there would be terrific for the skyline and would take up a parking lot.

I would take it over the Hall House if it came down to that.

[dubone]

Originally this was to be a 40 story BofA tower PLUS Hall House next door. They did that when they built the IJL building, saving the Dunhill Hotel.

I guess this is just what we miss when we lose Mr. McColl for a Ken. We get a 40 something story tower rather than a 60 something story tower, and we lose the old building.

Not that Hugh was perfect (the old Belk being torn down for the ugly Founder's Hall. )

[peaceloveunderstanding]

I'm confused now that the threads have been merged. Is this a new plan, or has this plan been unshelved? Or is something else happening?

[atlrvr]

This just sounds like a rehash of a stale proposal....it was considered when BofA was think of taking new space as opposed to renewing at BofA Plaza.....I believe this has been shelved for a while. Is this from a new source?

As far as the Hall house, CHA will be putting it up for sale, probably within the next year. Last I heard, that were marketing it at a minimum bid equivalent to land value, so I'm not counting on it being saved.

[RaleighHeelsfan]

So, is Charlotte getting another 40 story tower?

I don't understand any of this?????
