I really do love the colored lights. I took a drive around tonight & they are just as nice going between the buildings as they are from a distance. I forget which thread we were talking about this being our thing, but I hope this remains our thing.

Back in town after being coastal and I  was taking drive by photos like a mother today!  Look for my favorites in several topics.  Third photo is the Tryon Place crane love it.  The sky was beautiful today!

Pleased to see that Tryon Place and Legacy Union will be erecting concurrently. Who would have thunk it?!

Definitely not I. I thought it would be built concurrently with 615.  Then an entire office tower accompanied by a hotel was built, the Charlotte Observer building was bought (and a few people here lamented the loss of it for god knows what reason) and now a tower by Bank of America is not too far from being complete, a bank I never heard of will soon be building a tower by the BBT stadium and apparently we could have a new tallest by Duke.

 

This project was one of the first projects announced this cycle. Before “Bearden” aka ascent was announced. Or museum tower or AC hotel maybe around the time of Element and Skyhouse I.

@JorgiPorgi thanks for sharing! You captured some awesome lightning from a unique angle. Always love a good skyline shot!

Those cranes are for Legacy Union, Tryon Place, and the one in the distance is for Northwood Ravin.  You won't see a DEC crane for at least a year.

Think he is talking about the little crane underneath the handle that the window cleaning people use.  What a scary job!

Photo courtesy of Skytracker. Damn. looks like a real city. Once you get Even, Tryon Place, JW Marriott (still my guess), 600 South Tryon (I'm guessing 22 floors of office), Duke Energy Center #2 (somewhere between 36 and 65 floors), a 1000 room hotel (I'm guessing where Duke's Data Center is now), this is going to be a intensely urban photograph, if its not already.

^^ My favorite part of that shot is the crane blocking the NASCAR signage

LOVE that mural.  How much is going to be visible after the 2nd hotel?  I'm sure they know what they are doing but I'd hate for that to get lost.

Oh its going to get lost. not sure why they wasted so much money on such a small visible portion. Maybe 30% will be visibile from certain angles of SouthEnd It will be 2% visible from this angle for context.
