Ally Charlotte Center (f/k/a Tryon Place) - 26 floors - 427'

[atlrvr]

BTW, they are now working on the elevator core of floor 18 and 19 on Ally.  LU2 will be 19 floors, so in a couple days Ally will be at the equivalent final height of LU2 which will help with perspective on how it will look in the skyline...I can already tell it will appear taller than I first imagined.

oh for sure, this is going to be a very crowded area for buildings.

Some photos from today’s glorious Charlotte day... And my random thoughts:

1) This parking deck is massively high and is THISCLOSE to the main building.  I know there are plans to adorn the parking deck, and it’ll need it.  You can see one of the photos from the College St side and it looks massive.

2) Will they adorn the side of the parking deck facing the building?  If not, that will be one heck of a view from the dark side of the moon!

3) The future hotel is a very deep hole right now.  Any idea when we’ll start to see that rise?

4) They’re up to floor 7 with glass, and that grid design looks sweet.

Its turning out so clean. God I just wish one thing, I wish the window inlays were light wood texture, maybe cedar color.

EDIT: NEVERMIND, I photoshopped it and it looks GHASTLY.

I was thinking maybe aluminum or some sort of glass paneling. It really is the one thing I don't like about the building.

Do one real quick with a glass panel that matches the color of the glass.  Should look better I think.  Too many colors up there. The band makes it look shorter than it really is.

Disagree. I think the current format does a really good job of breaking up the thickness of the building while looking like a updated southern californian 60's modernist skyscraper.

Actually think our new mystery poster is right. Though I dig what’s going on now.

Sorry can’t sleep, overdosing on allergy meds.  

I’ll shut up, for now.

I also wish they would have gone with a different material (probably steel) to break up the wall less than they did. From street level looking up (pic 1) you can see the depth of the grid but from further away, which most people will see this from, you are 4 concrete corners away from some brutalist architecture like CarolinaDaydreamin said. Or even just reducing the thickness of them so that they aren't roughly the same size as the blocking would have helped.

That’s been my thought along. Just a little too thick. 25%-33% thinner and I think it would look much better. 

All in all though it looks good, the glass is great, and the updated street level plan is fantastic.

Weekly 277 update: looks good for now but will soon be blocked by LU2 from this point. It’s now at the point that it’s starting to make an impact from a distance.  This will be a dense area in a couple years.

From all sides today and above.    Love the way the building is turning out not so much how the garage and how it faces S College with no retail and so forth.

Good news is that the deck looks like its finally topped out.

Wow! Half the building on the back looks into a parking deck...I hope crescent has a Cracker Jack leasing team.  

I thought they were going to abut the deck with single loaded office until they got above the deck.  That would have gotten the building a lot taller too.

The glass looks great contrasted again LU. This building will end up looking slick when complete.

I'm really beginning to like this building. It's almost a hybrid of the Los Angeles Water and Power building (which is modernist perfection) and the Union Bank tower (meh), both of which are in downtown LA.
