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.

I’ve haven’t asked any PMs or the head super yet about the parking deck screening, but I have asked a couple of the assistant supers (who are more focused on the up-fits though so they don’t know for sure themselves) There reply is as I’ve expected-“seems that if it was gonna get it it would would have been installed already.” Unless they are waiting until there is less happening in and around the deck I don’t think it’s getting it. Other than the center section with all the squares the deck has “finished” look to it.
This picture I screen shot from Ally Center Charlotte website. No screening on the deck in this picture. 0a35edc8a35c6dd620866a948ffbba93.jpg

The thing is, I've was told unequivocally that there would be screening, by the person who thought up the building, and that renderings aren't for parking decks. Keep in mind Wanderwall was installed when Novel was occupied, and Whole Foods in operation.  That said, I've lost complete faith in there being screening.

Then I’m again inclined to think there will be screening.
There is a lot happening in and around the deck right now. Perhaps it’s being held off until the end of exterior work on Ally and the Hotel.

I have been told Crescent reviews this site sometimes so maybe there will be additional screening.  Ironically the garage back along College St faces their architect's office. 

Overall I give this project good marks as I do Legacy.    Here is an idea for the wall make it one of those living walls (and no I do mean like the failed vines at Ascent) but one that has ivy growing up and down the sides and it would be beautiful.    Or I do like the Wanderwall Duex idea maybe in Ally Bank colors.  This garage and building is really one of the main gateways of uptown with the College street ramp off 277 a popular entrance point to uptown.

The submission documents said the screening would be done in conjunction with the hotel. Still... I've lost hope.

Has anyone seen the curved installations that are taking place on the College Street side between the garage and across from the Westin?  Any ideas, did I miss something?

its a pocket park.

Maybe the deck isn't being screened on the SW side, facing 277, but the SE College Street side will be...???  I personally don't  care as much about what decks look like from interstates, but I do think they should be screened on walkable city streets.

It is no way shape or form a pocket park, don't care what they want to spin and market it.  Some tiny twigs, mulch, and 'artistic' waves to hide 2/3 the length of the garage of giant green electrical substation components is a joke

In other Crescent news Wanderwall wins national award https://www.americansforthearts.org/by-program/networks-and-councils/public-art-network/public-art-year-in-review-database/wanderwall  that is why I am calling for Wanderwall Dos for this Ally garage. 

This is Crescent's original "wonderwall." It's always made me wonder what the hell they were thinking. Aesthetics be damned. I wonder what this will look like in 20 years. 

And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I
Would like to say to you but I don't know how....

I'd have rather had a champagne supernova in the sky. This is merde on the ground.

Ugh I really loved how JWM was turning out until that glass went in. What is with the sick obsession with super-polished blue glass? I was hoping for a darker navy or something closer to what BOACC has. Would’ve looked much more regal.
