SREE Springhill Suites Hotel and Center City Green

I was back out at Avid this past week and noticed what look to be this project's crane poking above the trees.  Will it be visible from this angle once completed?

It should be visible from this angle. though not prominent.

30 years ago my Tokyo hotel room was like this. A plastic (fibreglass?) bath capsule. This was NOT a capsule hotel, now, which is a separate category.

Once the room is finished (They have a mockup done) you would have absolutely no idea that the bathrooms are "Pods." They look just like a standard bathroom on the inside and are drywalled in on the outside.

That could be the freight elevator prior to installation. Really quite an advance and I can see how construction crews unfamiliar with this detail will be frustrated. This is a great "inside" view of new construction technique and materials. Thank you.

Cool, for sure, but not such a new idea.  The rooms in the Hilton Placio del Rio in San Antonio were entirely pre-built, and even pre-furnished, carpeted, with the TV installed, and crane lifted into place.  1968.

The video linked into the references is actually kind of cool:

It's sad to think that this is the most interesting new building under construction uptown. The least cookie-cutter thing we have.

This hotel is looking good. Taken today.

The only thing I hate about this building is that it only has a hand full of floors until its topped out :'(

[KJHburg]

I like a triangular shaped building like this and I do wish it was 20 floors higher.

Bummer the balconies were eliminated on the front side.  Really liked the affect that had on it.  Still though a great addition.

I was the same at first.  But on further reflection, I feel this extends the "big city feel" as we wrap further development around the arena and Brevard.

But that's being EXTREMELY nitpicky.  I, like others, find everything about this to be amazing from:

- the small plot of land

- the building height [I thought developers would top out sooner, but what do I know]

-the glass wall overlooking the light rail

-the extremely urban pedscape with the streetcar tracks

The SEAMLESS integration with the surrounding architecture on every level is outstanding.  Greatest infill project ever in Charlotte to date.

I have loved this building since I heard about it and imagined the logistics necessary for construction. Super well done to the construction company, as well.

Good looking project

From my balcony I can see the tower cranes of SREE, Epicentre hotels, and Ascent..as a rebar junkie this is quite exciting!

Looks like the tower crane is about to come down.

[DMann]

Whoops, may have been a bit premature.  Saw some guys on the tower doing something to the cable and assumed it was coming down.  Sorry!

I see it and I still can't believe they got that thing on that plot of land

Density at its best. Correct me if I'm wrong, but there's no parking included in the project is there?

They were allotted spaces in the deck

[jtmonk]

Quick question.  Was the parking deck built to hold a tower or top as well?  I vaguely remember conversation about that but am not sure.
