I'd be like Ant Man and pee my pants if I was these guys:

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.

Perhaps  they're planning a green screen for the garage.  I'd be ok with that.  I'm willing to see this project through to completion.  I'd rather this than a surface parking lot.

Like, am I way off base in suggesting this green screen to the developers?  While I'm at it, I'd like to suggest this for the Atherton Mill garage as well.  Talk about near-instant refinement of the harsh and industrial appearance of a concrete car-stack, to a prominent, integrated visual treasure.

I hear you loud and clear because I’ve mentioned this about a year ago for exposed parking garages and columns that hold bridges for more greenery because they have implemented this idea in France I believe and it’s all over and looks beautiful. But I got side eyed for saying it but Uptown could definitely benefit off of this over what on most of them now. Especially a few blocks over

Why would anyone side-eye this idea?  Like who are these people nay-saying, and for what purpose?

I don’t know why but I love the idea. Just found it and it’s in Mexico not France lol. They’re called “Vertical Gardens.” I saw a video on it a few years back. It helped with air quality and beautifying the area.

I really think all that needs to happen is for *ONE* good example of this to be created in Charlotte, and then people can see for themselves how great they are. This is exactly the kind of thing where good governance should come in: The city should allocate funds to do this somewhere, and then the general public will realize it's not some goofy otherworldly idea, it's easily achievable, and then expectations will be raised in general, including for private developers building parking garages...

One thing I'm ultra reactionary about is graffiti--I despise it in all forms, anywhere, anytime--and I would love to see this deployed in graffiti-prone or -susceptible areas.  And since it's good for air quality (and maybe even a little for runoff and rainwater absorption--too soon??), it's a win-win IMO.

Okay off topic but don't need to go south of the border to see this living wall and how about one along a freeway like this one in Houston I-69/US 59  Southwest Freeway near downtown.   If they can grow it on a freeway they certainly can on a garage or the even over at the Ascent.  

But getting back to the Ally Center any more retailers food outlets announced?   Opening date on the hotel?
