Rundown Map of Uptown Charlotte Projects

[MZT]

CATS does the same thing ... hang powerpoints on their website that were used at community meetings. It's better than nothing, and I suppose gets a little more re-use out of something designed for one meeting. But on the Internet, it leaves you scratching your head, wondering what details you missed that were explained vocally.

Hey guys, thanks for the comments. It was a failure on my part to point you guys not to the PPT presentation but the webpages that illustrate development in each ward and South End. That presentation is old and will be down first thing Monday morning. You are right with all of the critiques of the presentation because it is outdated. Like I wrote above, I would encourage everyone to visit the development report web version with the left side navigation. This should prove to have clearer maps and information. Thanks again for the info, I will take your comments into consideration. This is one reason why Urban Planet is such a good place to voice opinions because you guys are the people visiting our site and possibly using our info.

the 500 West Trade project design is new to me. I knew Trinity had something going but not to the extent shown. I guess I need to check that thread more often.

Is the new greyhound terminal going to be a part of the multimodal station development? I checked out the new issue of Uptown Magazine and they have a great rendering of the new, proposed greyhound station, but nothing else. I say it looks much much nicer than what we currently have there.

Supposedly, the Greyhound terminal is a funded part of the Gateway station. It will actually go across Fourth Street from the main part of the station, so you could also consider it to be a separate project.

Very interesting to see a large park and large buildings built over what appears to be a newly tunneled portion of I-277 (in the 2010 vision section).

I remember when that idea was brought up a year or so ago but this is the first rendering I have seen. Of course, it's probably been on this site for a while but I have never visited this site until tonight.

It seems that the abondoned Wachovia (?) branch at 9th and Tryon will be rehabbed as a restuarant named Rustic Martini......I'm glad it's being renovated, because that strech of Tryon is dead, but I was hoping that building would just go away. It was a suburban branch with a drive-thru.

Alright I have an image file I am trying to post as a website so it can be linked on here. How do I go about doing that?

Thanks you sir. Well I have a little too much time on my hands but hope you guys enjoy it. I know several of the buildings are turned the wrong way, the novare buildings aren't there, and that the trump tower is just the Atlanta rendering but here is a rough idea of what the skyline would look like from the west. Don't be too rough on it, its my first attempt. Thanks again for the advice.

wondering who updates the google map with the pinpoints of construction projects (above menu) and also who might take the initiative to update this master map... I know it's all an issue of spare time tho!...

[Raintree21]

Dubone, any chance of an updated version of your awesome map?

[charlotte49ersuptown]

The newest version of the CCCP development report is up on the website. Here is the link, it also has maps of each ward and historic south end and midtown. Criticisms and comments are welcomed.

Looks great....it seems the Levine plans have been updated yet again.....since you asked for criticism, might I suggest for the Trump project page that you use an image of his New Orleans deal. That tower has direct Trump investment (as opposed to Atlanta which doesn't) and contains a hotel component. It is also more similar in height to the taller tower proposed for Charlotte.

[charlotte49ersuptown]

CCCP has also posted the newest version of our PPT presentation. It is located on the same page as our development report but is the top link. The presentation is another form of our development report and has some cool graphics as well.

Thanks for updating that.....I see there is a site plan for 101 W Tremont. Some of those bays seem like the are for retail...can you confirm this?

Also, dear God, please don't let "C" be built. Worst proposal in Charlotte.

[charlotte49ersuptown]

I believe they are for retail, although it does not specify on the site plan. I believe it is in their best interest to put some form of retail fronting Tremont Avenue, since it sits a block from the East / West LRT Station and next to the Tremont Trolley Stop. This project plus the Spectrum project further down the line should really change the look of Hawkins Street.

not sure if this helps or anything but i found something on google earth, where someone has made a model of downtown charlotte, its not in the right spot but has everything from avenue, epicenter, one charlotte, the new wahcovia project and such. http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/det...amp;prevstart=0 thats the link to it

[JerseyBoy]

That's mine.

Not sure what you mean when you say "not in the right spot" but all current projects and existing buildings are in their right locations.

[turbocraig]

Can you maybe post the models here? I can't get my computer to open the files.

This should do it for you.
