Elizabeth Projects (7th St, Elizabeth Ave, etc)

Amen to that notion!

Anyone have additional info or opinions on this?  Will construction stop until the litigation is resolved?  Given the history of the Faison project around the corner, the Neighborhood Association's request of reducing density on the site's frontage seems like it could lead to a financially unsustainable development.

Same can be said for nearly every neighborhood in Charlotte.

I think there are some  neighborhoods  looking for ways to maintain affordability and increase housing diversity.  Not all are as aggressive in opposing density.

Uptown welcomes towers, bring them inside the loop!

Elizabeth has suffered a great deal from progress, being divided up by Independence, and the oddity that is the bidirectional 7th Street and the confusing disconnect from the Avenue it is named after because of the ever-expanding hospital complex.   

But that is the very reason it ought to embrace being an urban neighborhood.  Townhomes are the epitome of reasonable urban density.   Every unit has ground floor access.  It isn't some looming tower or some thing with a massive parking deck.   

They will win a battle and lose a war if they are fighting townhomes now.

Webcam for the new Novant Vascular Institute going up at Hawthorne and 4th.  Steel is going vertical.

I found this looking for renderings of what I believe is a new 8-10 story medical office building proposed across Hawthorne at 5th on the giant surface lot.  I saw that parcel had a Accela submittal yesterday.

In CPCC news, today begins the demolition of the Visual Arts and Ceramics annexes of the Central High building.  Part of the sidewalk along Pease Ln. will be closed during construction work, but for the most part the road itself will still be open.

New mixed-use development at Charlottetowne, 4th Street, and Torrence Street:

None of the links are working yet, so it’s unknown what the site plan entails.

Its actually not for a mixed used development, but for converting the American Billiards Building into a Brewery.

Great building.... any idea which Brewery?

Always thought that would be a good location for a storage building. Oh Charlotte...

[Matthew.Brendan]

Storage buildings infuriate me like no other.  So, so crappy.

Does anyone have any updates on the NAI  tower?
