Good article on Camp North End http://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/business/article196471034.html  I predict big things here this coming year watch!

That's great, love seeing this area develop. It seems like 20 years I've been hearing about the plans for the area, but truly the work has just gotten underway and I expect lots of new things to continue. If I think about what the Music factory looks like in 2006 vs what it is today, this NorthEnd area has a lot of potential to spur on this area. I have start ups I would love to move in over there before prices get too high

Would be a perfect place for a farmers market like the west end market in Cleveland

[uptownliving]

I stopped in on a recent Sunday Morning for some coffee and to check out all the new stores there. Very cool vibe already with the small amount of space that has been refurbished. In May they are planning on doing a farmer's market so stay tuned for more details.

Anyone else getting a future dystopic totalitarianism vibe?

I can't think of anything more Charlotte than that!

Exactly!

This won't actually happen...right?

Ally Bank opening innovation center in CAMP Northend  from Charlotte Agenda twitter feed

Huge news for @campnorthend: Ally Financial will create an innovation center there. 2,200 square feet of office space for UX designers, product engineers and web developers.

[atlrvr]

2,200 sf? That's only like 10-15 people.  Maybe 22,000 sf?

See that CBJ and CO both reporting as 2,200 sf.  While small, cool to see, along with Duke taking space at Thompkins Mill.

No, it is 2,200 sf. They are only putting their software (UX and some others) peeps there, not a large team.

[KJHburg]

Here is the Business Journal about Ally Bank's innovation center and yes it would seem to be a small team.  But this is important for Charlotte and for this project which might get the ball rolling on other Fintech tenants.

I wasn't trying to diminish it. I think it's a good move on the banks part, and it helps North End maintain the momentum.

Hopefully the road realignment of N. Tryon proceedes. Dalton area really needs some cleanup.

Construction for the N. Tryon Business Corridor plan was supposed to commence this year, January according to what I last read.  I've also heard they will be doing an overhaul of Dalton after completing the N. Tryon corridor, but I couldn't find anything about it online.

[Spartan]

They're building it now. Ride up N Tryon and look in front of the WSOC building and you can see the first part of it being built.

[Matthew.Brendan]

I had no idea it was actively under construction. Terriffic! Anyone have the new road alignment diagram handy?

[cltcitywatch]

passed it last night on the way to and from NoDa Brewing. Its definitely moving..

[tozmervo]

All the maps for the North Tryon work are at CharlotteNC.gov/NorthTryon.

I'm not typically a fan of one-way pairs, but I think the improvements that will be realized outweigh the cons.  

[atlrvr]

I think 1 way pairs are great personally, especially on high volume streets, as long as there are an appropriate amount of stop lights ( i.e. every major intersection and no more than 700 feet between light)

South Blvd has choked on it's own success, and a 1 way pair would really really help.....too late now.

1-way pairs have pretty significant pros and cons. My main issue with this one is that it's so short. It's going to help for the 5 blocks or so, but the rest of N Tryon still sucks.

CAMP North End is getting a huge big money partner to work with ATCO.  They are going to take this to the next level with their involvement for sure.  https://www.bisnow.com/charlotte/news/mixed-use/exclusive-camp-north-end-developer-acquires-prominent-national-investor-for-next-phase-87800?rt=57697

I just wish Charlotte would finish up some of its other projects that seem to be stuck in no-mans land.  It feels like the Graham St/Mallard Creek Rd extension and the Sugar Creek Blue Line bridge projects have been under construction for as long as I can remember.
