To that parling lot behind Gantt your days are numbered, hopefully.

If I’m being a healthy balance between wishful and realistic:

I’d like to see two towers: DEC part 2 on the Tryon side, 550-650 ft. A hotel on the College side, 350-400ft.

 

That’d be very satisfying to me.

City Council approved their rezoning request which will allow them to cantilever the hotel 10 ft over the 22 ft setback on Stonewall. The cantilever will begin 20 ft above the sidewalk. In other words, the base of the building will have a 22 ft setback and then starting at 20 ft elevation it will have a 12 ft setback.

      View from College.  Had a good look from above (8th floor of 615 College) but didn’t get to snap a pic.  KJ basically covered it the other day though.

[KJHburg]

One of the reasons I take so many photos is that I want to encourage everyone else to take lots too.  Every photo can show something different and people are always pointing out something I did not see even in my own photos!  Keep shooting even if they look like any of mine.  

today Tryon Place and yes I took some from above.

Man, I really wish we would start to here some leaks about what Duke has planned for that lot. With everything currently under construction the density is going to be awesome, but once DEC2 and maybe a convention hotel goes up it will be a sight to behold.

[NcSc74]

Yes and hopefully development will heat up on the north side and around CTC.

Any chance it could be the old Renaissance site, or even Hal Marshall Center? Maybe something like Charlotte's tallest could even spur Levine to get off his duff, if it was near his property, or even if he partnered with Trump on it. LOL.

This post was from 11 years ago...Trump is doing other things and Levine remains on his "duff".

[CLTNative]

That is too funny. I think I started reading UP around that time...

 

In Tryon Place news, I am pretty sure I can feel the blasts from my building (MLK & Tryon). I never felt 300 like that when I worked above McCormick.

Heard some stats for the hotel 22 floors 280 feet, just under 400 rooms. Not bad, hope it somehow grows a little tho. As expected the base mostly occupied by retail (bars, restaurants)

Hi all, long time lurker, 2nd time posting: : went for a stroll uptown this past weekend --

[CarolinaDaydreamin]

Wow it looks great. Everyone comments on Downtown Nashville construction, but this is really more impressive.

Nashville's Skyline has lengthened, but It just can't compare to how Dense and tall Charlotte's Core has become. I don't even know what US city to compare Charlotte to. Nashville and Charlotte are killing it right now. 

[KJHburg]

I agree there are only a few cities that have downtown uptown construction like Charlotte Nashville would be one of them but Austin would be another.  Their skyline is expanding with condos, apartments, office towers and hotels where Nashville is mainly apartments and hotels.  

Charlotte's is much more office which in the long run is better because it means jobs which means apartments condos will be following.   Austin and Charlotte have the height too. 

 

[rockhilljames]

Yeah Austin is crazy right now. I came across this image the other day I was wondering if anyone I had done one for Charlotte, I'd love to see the difference.

I’ve always thought Denver was a fair comparison as far as CBD size go. Charlotte has slightly more height and Denver has slightly more density/200-300footers, but they’re pretty comparable. CLT has more construction currently.

... and Denver has the drabbest skyline in the US.

MOD NOTE: All of these city vs city discussions are off topic.   Please avoid the impulse, even if they are meant constructively, they rarely end that way. 

[Matthew.Brendan]

Yet go walk around and Denver feels like a proper city. Real retail (sorry, restaurants/bars really don’t count) and people on the street, all over the place. 

Hint 73, 000+ live in downtown Denver. 15,000+ live in uptown Charlotte. (Sloppy 2 seconds of googling, numbers from 2015 but I think the point stands)

The growth in Uptown is phenomenal and awesome  but there needs to be people actually living here. 

[jtmonk]

Still waiting to find out more about the hotel here.  RDF did state that he heard the hotel will be 22 floors and just shy of 400 rooms.  Still just speculation on the brand, anyone have any idea on what the design will look like?  Should be interesting with the cantilever design over the sidewalk along Stonewall.
