kermit 11915 Report post Posted April 2, 2015 (edited) ^^^^ Looks like a large office tower on the site is dead. There seems to be a small building at Tryon and 10th, though I suspect that's the parking deck for Publix. As long as it has retail on both sides (Tryon and 10th) I guess that's ok. I heard today from someone who should know that the office tower is not dead. It is still being actively marketed and is in search of an anchor tenant. I did get the impression its unlikely to happen soon, unless a miracle happens. Edited April 2, 2015 by kermit Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtmonk 1053 Report post Posted April 2, 2015 That's great news. I really hope things work out for the office tower. I mean, I'm thrilled about both the Skyhouse towers and the possible Publix but getting an office tower too would be awesome!! Would be nice if it were the same height as the one previously proposed around here during the last boom. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HopHead 1395 Report post Posted April 18, 2015 Skyhouse has posted their monthly leasing rates for this building... Looks like leases will be available to start on August 15th. Below is what they are going for... I just took what the lower end rates for the given floor plans would be. They all have larger and more expensive versions as well. Some of the 3 bedrooms for example were over $3k mth for 1500+ sqft. Studio (585 sqft) $1195 1 bedroom 1 bath (678 sqft) $1385 2 bedroom 2 bath (1029 sqft) $2210 3 bedroom 3 bath (1189 sqft) $2700 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
navigator319 2135 Report post Posted April 25, 2015 Parking garage seems to be speeding along after what felt like a long time. I must say am soooo happy we got this version of the building. Looking at the web cams of the version with barrel roof it makes the building hideous. Anyone have any clue why they have 2 roof versions and how they decide which to use?

MazzoMedia 153 Report post Posted April 28, 2015 Not sure if everyone has noticed, but the exterior elevator has been removed from Skyhouse. I'd imagine the internal ones are now functional. Now get started on Skyhouse II. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

orulz 458 Report post Posted May 1, 2015 is that stucco or precast concrete? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dubone 1573 Report post Posted May 1, 2015 That still looks better than what was there. That's a low bar, but I tend to agree with you. is that stucco or precast concrete? Above the ground floor, it is stucco. I think it may be precast on the ground floor, although it is somewhat funny to do the work to put that in, but not have a material that looks superior to stucco at a glance. Regardless, I am not that dissatisfied with this building. It is mostly glass, and it is actually a bit nicer looking with the stucco than the untreated concrete of Novare condos.

HopHead 1395 Report post Posted May 6, 2015 It sure looks like they have poured the base for the second crane at Skyhouse II. https://oxblue.com/open/SkyHouseApartments You mean this? It does look to be directly parallel to the one on Skyhouse 1. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HopHead 1395 Report post Posted May 6, 2015 And well, just as we talk about Skyhouse 2, there is an entry in Accela for a project inspection at this site: Project Description: Skyhouse Charlotte 2 This project proposes a 24 story multifamily tower.

tozmervo 8361 Report post Posted May 6, 2015 You mean this? It does look to be directly parallel to the one on Skyhouse 1. That kind of looks like the beginnings of an elevator pit, but that seems out of sequence with what I'm seeing in that photo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dubone 1573 Report post Posted May 6, 2015 It will be exciting to see that crane move to this new pad! I know by now the second tower is inevitable, but it is such a good news event to see it start. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jt282506 3852 Report post Posted May 6, 2015 (edited) I could be mistaken, but it looks like a crane is being delivered onsite as we speak... That yellow piece certainly looks like it!! Refresh my memory. How long did it take skyhouse 1 to top out after they got that crane up/construction start? Edited May 6, 2015 by Jayvee Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
atlrvr 4215 Report post Posted May 6, 2015 I would think they use it first to complete the south side of the parking deck, but keep it for Skyhouse 2. Not sure if SH2 is imminent, though I do suspect it starts by the end of summer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
