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

[Urban Cowboy]

If you drive past Ally at night (when the floors are lit up and you can see in) - it seems as though very little construction has occurred on the interior, in over a month or so. Very odd. I assume I’m wrong but throwing it out there in case others have noticed

Is the facade on the hotel limestone or concrete?  It looks like concrete, but it’s really nice either way.

It's actually about 4 months of little to no change on the tower. internal or external.

The tenant won’t be moving in for a year, they can and will take their sweet time with finishing this. There is no reason or incentive to finish early now that the primary construction is complete

Might sound crazy but this is one of the nicest parking decks in the entire city. I don’t get why people make them so ugly when it’s so easy to avoid. This one is is wrapped is very sleek and will look nice as long they they don’t do something like the one at Stonewall station. I’m still disgusted in how tacky it looks.

No floor uplifts have started yet. All the work in is in the core and sub level and loading dock areas and the parking deck - Elevators ,Framing Fire proofing and caulking, HVAC, Fire alarm and security wiring, electrical, data,  plumbing,  sprinkler systems, sheet rocking, bathroom uplifts, roof work,  some change orders,  exterior window sealing, work on the roof, inspections, etc.  The  steel framed building goes up quick. All that other stuff takes time. Plus the first couple of floors will have some restaurants and retail to prepare for. I don't think the building is scheduled to start open until 2021. I think floor uplifts are scheduled to start in the next couple of months.

I've been told to be patient, but good lord, I can't wait for that deck to be screened

Is there any update on the crown, or are they still attaching strips of toilet paper to the metal framing?

If there was this would be the first place updated

I really don't think this building is 427'. Its not anywhere close to the Mint museum tower which is 447'. If it was there would hardly be any visible difference in height and would actually look bigger than the MMT from certain angles. I have seen 378' feet quoted in some place and that seems to be much more accurate. 

Just standing next to it, it doesn't feel as tall as:

Museum Tower - 447'

Fifth Thrid Center - 447'

Two Wells Fargo - 433'

Avenue - 425'

400 South Tryon - 420'

Its not even close to any of those.

It's Crescent.  They probably lied just like all their renderings do of any project they participate it.

I’m almost certain it’s 427’ but either way I bet @ricky_davis_fan_21 could verify with some photos and geometry.

This says 378'. Hence why I brought it up.

Yeah I remember we had it at 378’ here for awhile too but at some point there was an update though I’m not sure what precipitated that.

Interesting. At one point I saw it reported as 427'

Per Polaris site the topo of Ally is about 20 feet lower than for Mint tower and farther toward the square on Tryon the more the rise.

 I did some scrolling back and found an April 2019 post with it at 378’ but looks like you’re suggesting it might be taller.  Either way, no building is ever gonna be tall enough for any of us. 

edit to add: Looking at the building today, Clayton absolutely nailed the 3 point perspective in that diagram which leads me to believe his 378’ line is the correct height.

Ally looks to be about 393 ft to the top of the "Crown"

On another note a friend sent this to me

Great photo, but certainly not a crown fit for a queen.

Really the problem is, Crescent has never submitted a full elevation. Just street front.

I don't see a description accompanying the photo, but I assume this is the new JW Marriott rising from the ground?
