I think Legacy, Duke & Ally will look great together at Stonewall & Tryon. They contrast great together. I think the better (In my mind) older rendering would've blended in with DEC.

 

 

 

 

 

Its pretty amazing to think that 277 will have a canyon of its own on the uptown side. amazing.

I forgot about Duke and I think that is going to happen and it depends if Wells can push enough of Duke out their own DEC building they (Wells) may not have build.  But Wells is growing here but I have heard they may do additional towers at Ballantyne. 

Yes.  Wells is pushing over a thousand people to Ballantyne, while Ally is going to CONSOLIDATE their workforce FROM Ballantyne to uptown.  Scratching my head at that one.

[KJHburg]

To consolidate every one of the 23,000 plus employees of Wells in one building would require a 7 MILLION sq ft building that would need to be 200 stories at 35K sq ft floorplates! Not likely at all  but fun to think about it. Maybe RDF can come up with a rendering of it LOL

Yes south Tryon new tower canyon will be very impressive from 277. Those buildings will look even taller from the freeway.   And remember the Unannounced not going to happen new Duke tower too according to the company.

Duke is absolutely going to happen. And I wouldn't put it passed them to stay in DEC, because who would leave that beautiful corp. center, and occupy a new tower as well. Theres enough people scattered all throughout the state that could be moved back to Charlotte at a moments notice.

I hope they have public amenities. Paying $15-20+ a month extra better not be going towards this tower.

That's great news.

 

Will the new Duke tower start in 2018?

Conceivably, Duke could be finished before Tryon Place.

[SydneyCarton]

Thanks, Dale.  So is it likely to break ground in 2018?

That's an excellent point. Hope someone reads this.

Oh, I don't have a shred of information. I'm just reasoning that if Duke is serious -- and as slow as Tryon Place has moved to date -- ...

Based on expiring leases I'd think they'd need to be moving in 6-9 months frankly.

Soon, When driving on 277 you will be in the middle of towering skyscrapers, We have a Freeway going through Downtown, Which there are pros and cons, But one pro is that you'll be emerged in towering skyscrapers.

[SydneyCarton]

That sounds fantastic.

Lastly, Charlotte isn't world class, and it won't ever be. Its iconic towers were a dick measuring contest between two middle aged men trying to one up eachother.

Late to this, and understand your comment for what it is, though I'd argue much will change if we make it another 500 years into the future, one can simply look 500 years into the past to see how that may go.  Dick measuring has pretty much defined the entirety of world history at that.

That includes the Catholic Church and it's clergy... but we digress.

In either cases, neither are safe to have around kids much of the time. 

Is this thread about Tryon Place-Crescent Project, dick measuring, or the  future of uninspired children?  I'm fine with any or all.

Imagine the new Ally Center at Tryon Place to the right and behind the Harvey B Gantt the new Duke Energy we are not going to build it tower.

It's already borderline imposing from 277.

at least 100x...maybe 1000x. We teachers are a terrible bunch.

Don't be so hard on yourself. But do go to confession if it helps.

Off topic but this Richmond building makes Tryon Place look like a dump. Still a box, just add a curved glass curtain :-( :-(. Why can’t we have nice things!?

Maybe because citizens are not informed of  plans nor requested their opinion.  It has to be done in secret.

[KJHburg]

That is nice in Richmond for Dominion Resources but keep in mind that is the first high rise over 300 feet built in the city since 1990!   Think how many buildings have been built in Charlotte in that time.   Maybe our new Duke Energy tower will out do that and I think it will in height and design. 

[Hunted]

Just sad to think that this final version of Tryon Place is being built on the same parcel of land that the GORGEOUSLY designed and much more imposing Trump Towers were proposed for.
