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

[Matthew.Brendan]

Ok, so who is a crane nerd and can tell me something interesting about the pair of absolutely massive cranes that TP has on site?

Look at the top rigging and massive counterweight, versus the little baby crane just down the street along Stonewall?

Tryon Place today from up and all around.   Center core of building rising.   Lots of crane action.

Center core of new Tryon Place tower rising.  This morning.

Looks like this will be steel framed.  Not sure if that was known definitively.  Good news is this should rise quickly, like, maybe 1 floor every 4 days, once the core gets up 8 stories or so.

Steel vs poured concrete whats the pros and cons for the different approaches?

So this building will be built just like 300 S. Tryon, which went up quickly.

Managed a quick trip down to Clt last week, here's a drive-by from Friday afternoon:

Drove by today (sorry no pics, not good with the drive by pics like KJ lol), but this site just appears massive.  I think too bc they are digging down pretty substantially.  Going to be a very muddy mess this weekend, however.  But anyways, was reading over the press releases on White Lodges site and found this excerpt "The upscale hotel brand will be revealed in the coming months, and the property will be an exciting addition to Ally Charlotte Center and Charlotte’s hospitality industry." dated 1/24/2018.  It's almost Q4 and no announcement.  I don't want to just assume it's a JW Marriot, but from their portfolio, it appears to be the only Upscale brand that would make sense.  However, from their portfolio, the only JW's they've done are convention sized hotels (1k+ rooms) in Indianapolis and Austin.  Since this hotel is listed to be a 350 roomer, I don't know if that affects which brand they decide to go with.

Thanks for reminding me here are my drive by photos from yesterday.  and don't worry I don't "hands free" drive.

KJ accidentally slipped up and posted this pic of himself. Thanks to my quick thinking, I was able to save it before he could edit his post.

On foot for these photos Tryon Place all around the block today.  The basement looks like 2-3 levels deep and pilings seem to be going in on the hotel site.

Tryon Place Ally Bank center today this is Charlotte rising.  Lots of foundation work by the hotel site on the corner too. 

[KJHburg]

Foggy Friday photos today and this tower has risen about 10-12  feet above street level now the elevator core.

I can't wait to see the façade.  Will the square bracing be metal?  It looks beautiful.

Is there a way to “sticky” the renderings somewhere? I feel bad asking for them to be posted when I’m sure they are buried in the thread somewhere.

When in doubt just google. "Ally Center Stonewall Crescent." The one online is fairly up to date.

^Wasn't the top going to be set back from the edges or something?  Think I kind of like the top flush with the rest of the building a little better than set back.  Still an awesome-looking building.

I thought they were going to do the metal cladding all over? Regardless, I like the dark glass. I just hope that white stripe at the top is lighting, and not some permanent different color glass, or whatever.

It’s definitely lighting can confirm that, they are excited about their lighting scheme.

The grid all over hasn’t been confirmed. It’s present in the latest approved elevations, but it’s not 100%.

I've heard promising things about the retail and lodging component of this.

The grid definitely needs to happen like in the rendering at the top of the page.  It really adds another dimension to the building, and is different without being too outlandish.

I’ve heard that for about what feels like 7 years now

Now that is true too. Maybe it'll disappoint, It wouldn't surprise me if it did.
