Long-time lurker (as in probably a decade plus), first-time poster.  Two pics of Tryon Place - construction on the tower itself and the JW Marriott site.

Drive and walk bys this morning.  What is the official height of this building that is now 100% leased isn't it less than 400 feet?   anyone know.  the JW Marriott hotel is flying up.

Ally Charlotte Center is 378 feet / 115.2 meters tall, with 26 floors; anticipated completion in 2021.  Currently, there are 18 completed towers in Charlotte that are taller than Ally Charlotte Center.  The next tallest tower is Charlotte Plaza (a/k/a "Darth Vader" bldg.) which is 388 ft. / 118.3 m. tall, with 27 floors, completed in 1982.  Also, three towers, which are currently under construction, will be taller than Ally, including (i) Charlotte Metro Tower (DEC2) 660 ft. / 201.1 m. with 42 floors, (ii) Intercontinental Hotel, 420 ft. / 128 m. with 32 floors, and (iii) The Ellis, 384 ft. / 117 m. with 33 floors.

Maybe that's why the crown completion is stalled (or at least I think it is). Maybe they're trying to figure out if the foundation could support additional floors. This font is not blue.

 

Slow, yes. But not stalled. Yesterday vs today:

You would need another set of elevators to go any higher.  That would be enormously expensive.

This is mind blowing to think about because LU1 is almost 300 ft taller but only less than 10 floors higher. Yes I get the crowing adds and floor heights vary but dang.

No way they're going to add more floors now, even if they find it's structurally possible. I can't even imagine the cost of that, and it would push the delivery date back by months.

maybe a full year

The screening makes this entire building look cheap. I can’t imagine them putting a different material in front of this flimsy see-through stuff, at this point. Because why bother putting this stuff up? 

If the “patience” Crescent is asking for in relation to the sweatband is only going to be lighting at night, and we’re stuck with this in the daytime - I’m going to be disappointed.

Supposedly it is going to be a LED video board

I wonder if it will be lit all the time the screening atop it.  It might look good in the end from a distance.  

If it's not lit up in some significant way I'll be significantly disappointed in this whole "crown for for a Queen" shenanigans.

Can we stop complaining about the screening, or the deck, or the design. It seems like every day it's the same posts on the same projects about the same issues. And yes, it's important to hold designers accountable for their buildings, but this is getting ridiculous. Exercise some patience. Be hopeful for the street presence. Be excited for the retail possibilities. Be thankful it wasn't worse. Hope for better at other projects. But, every day posting how much you hate this building's screening, or the Intercontinental, or LU, or parking podiums or irregular apartment building shapes, or etc...just stop. It has gotten so bad lately.

That’s true.  Most cities aren’t building anything and would be elated if LU or Ally were built there.
