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

[KJHburg]

So the huge multistory parking garage will be right up to the street on College across from Regions 615?  any retail planned for the ground level or a Wanderwall type installation?   I do think it needs it

I'm hestitant to post this one, because I don't know that it accurately depicts the deck screening but this is my favorite angle. Been  sitting on these a while so had a lot of opportunity to stare at it.

 

It does not accurately reflect the deck. HKS did these for the hotel they have nothing to do with the deck so it’s just placeholder

Hahaha.  I love how silly the pyramid on BOAT looks in this rendering.  Obviously, that silhouette is just a placeholder of sorts, but still pretty funny.  Also, I can't wait to see how DEC2 fits into the right of this picture.  It is really incredible (unprecedented outside of NYC?) how much these blocks have changed in a few years' time.  Love it.

Love the look of this building... can’t wait to see a zoomed out rendering with the hotel and tryon place fully visible... for some reason I’m having a hard time visualizing the placement of the hotel and how it will fit overall in the site

The glass cube looks like an Apple store.

I thought that they were trying to replicate the stores on Fifth Ave and on Broadway.

With all of this great news, an announcement about the Duke tower would be extraordinary.

That store is like MASSIVE and all under ground, you would have seen them digging under Tryon if that were the case.

Yea you guys just progressed through my entire thought process.
1. Glass box=Apple Store
2. Wait, it’s too small
3. Could be underground!
4. Naw KJ’s photos don’t show any digging there so that’s not the case.
5. Damn

no way jose. Hotels aren't that tall. 17 floors at 11 floors per. + 4 floors at 20 per. Thats 267'. Plus a bit of decoration on top, I got this at 299'

Here's more high res versions

 

Can someone help me understand why this building is so amazing? The tower looks an awful lot like 1BAC, which is to say a slightly above average compared to typical modernist blandness. The base is just a small glass box.  The height is nice in that part of town, and having a plaza there will be nice if they get the design right (but that's old news). I sincerely hope its more than the impossible lighting scenario that the rendering depicts.

you quoted the least interesting side tho.

That one side is the only glass side. See the sides. Its stone and glass. Theres great texture.  Can't imagine NOT liking it haha.

Meh. I remain unconvinced that this is special.  I need more than texture to make something the preferred combination of good and interesting.

If they do build an Apple store will I be drawn to it like zombie is to living brain tissue ? Or do I have to be under 40 ?

[CLT704]

What type of stone? I think it looks good, like the combination of the glass curtain wall then the stone, breaks it up a bit. 

[Nick2]

From the renderings, it looks like it'll compliment it's neighborhood towers pretty well. Excellent infill and it's great to be getting a JW.

[TheOneRJ]

Finally another luxury flag coming to Uptown. Isn’t this also the site for the rumored Apple store?

I doubt that's stone.   I assume that it's glass with a whitish border.   Several buildings in NY, including the W near Wall Street, have that.

There’s clearly stone. On all the facades that aren’t the curtain wall.

Any shot this will be ready for the 2020 convention?

Its a stretch. Might be doable tho. Surprised nobody has reported on that. I'll see if I can get an answer.

EDIT: Damn what did I even ask someone without thinking. it opens in 2021 so no.

Steel is really rising above street level now.  Today.  

For those triggered by the sight of Legacy 1 be warned it is featured in the photos too.
