SkyHouse Charlotte, Publix and 10Tryon Tower in 4th Ward

[HopHead]

As phase two, will it be identical in height to phase one? I know that the Skyhouse brand has towers from 23 to 26 floors in height (I believe phase one here is 24). Is it possible that the second tower is shorter in height at something like 16 to 20 stories in height?

 

It's possible I suppose, but I suspect they will be identical in height. Somewhere on this thread, someone stated it would be ~672 units total for both phases, which would divide it in half at 336 per tower.

Skyhouse Denver has been announced.

Any renderings of how I (and II) will impact the skyline?

[MilZ]

^ I don't know of any but it should be similar in height to 525 N Tryon just across 9th St from the construction site.  Probably wont dent the skyline but will stretch it.  (Wouldn't mind seeing a rendering either  )

I've seen one on the board before. I think it was somewhere in this thread. It definitely made an impact on the skyline looking at the city from the east side.

When it first came up we got the height from the blueprints and it turned out to be around the halfway point in height between Edwin Towers and 525 Tryon.  It is not the same height.

About 273' to the tippity-top. Which puts it 9 feet taller than Element Uptown, 7 feet shorter than 112 N. Tryon and 17 feet shorter than the westin.

^^Glad to be wrong about that one!

no you are still right. It'll be considerably shorter than 525 N. Tryon 525 N. Tryon is actually very tall considering its floor count. Thanks to the giant pyramid on top it stands at 330' and would be the tallest building in a number of large cities in the Carolinas (and georgia), Wilmington, Asheville, Durham, Savannah, Charleston, 2nd tallest in greensboro, etc.

Not sure why I interpreted those first two comments to mean that SkyHouse would be taller than I thought.

I'll blame it working a few hours long today haha. Thanks for the clarity.

:0 fingers crossed Skyhouse II starts sooner than later

Sounds like they will be going ahead and building a double wide parking deck like I posted in the above site plan from months back that i speculated.

Wow. Things with Skyhouse II escalated quite quickly. Now, if only the rest of your site plan can come to fruition this fast

[15895]

Just thought of something... There is going to be a heck of a lot of retail spots now with two skyhouses and I'm assuming the parking deck will get more retail also if it gets stretched width wise.

I hope the retail does well on Church.

I'm going to try and search the retailers in the current skyhouses. See if they have anything cool

Wow.

 

Between Element, Woodfield, The Mint, both Skyhouses, the one that just opened over by JWU and the one going in on McDowell, that should bring a pretty substantial amount of new residents to uptown.

is the rendering true to fact?  Is the Publix real?

[Niner National]

No, just speculation as far as I've heard. No plans have been submitted.

 

While I'd certainly welcome it, I'd rather see a grocery store go somewhere closer to S. Tryon. The HT isn't a bad walk from this area.

[Guest]

Its based on a tip from a friend who said Publix was looking at putting a "crown jewel/flagship" in the center city area.

A rendering Ricky made based on some speculation A year or so ago before skyhouse I was Ever announced

Given that the 'rumored' grocer near RBP didn't pan out, this site would make some sense. There aren't many other opportunities in uptown to build a grocery store these days...

[HopHead]

I was looking at the Skyhouse web cam... With Skyhouse II in Charlotte looking to be in the works, we'll be the 3rd city with more than one Skyhouse apartment tower. Atlanta is on their 3rd and Houston has a 2nd and 3rd under way.

[AuLukey]

I just hope they do something architecturally to make these stand apart since they will be right next to each other.
