This is a random question, but does anyone know what building PNC operates out of locally? Is it Uptown?  I know they have a presence, and I was thinking about the various bank towers (BOAT, Ally, First National Bank).  I am wondering if PNC might be big enough to eventually need their own tower Uptown.  Unrelated, but I still trying to figure out who might be an anchor for the NAI Midtown building.

Thanks!

I think PNC bank considers their main Charlotte office that one on Randolph at 2000 Randolph Rd near the Orthopedic Hospital.  They are definitely in the neighborhood of the new Midtown tower proposed by NAI.  I think other anchor tenant possibilities could be some firms pushed out of BofA Corporate Center.  If they want to be a player here like First National Bank also of Pittsburgh they should raise their profile for sure.

PNC's capital markets group is in Piedmont Town Center..... could def see some consolidation/expansion/visibility upgrade....just not sure they will need enough space to anchor a tower.

No idea what "Piedmont Town Center" is but I legit lol'd when I read that name. Is that the least toughest/most blah sounding corporate address ever?

You are not far off. That place is very quiet & dull. Kind of a disappointment for such a large development right on a main street in a supposedly lively area.

Does anyone know where we can see some updated 3 D images of Charlotte?  Google maps shows no 615 South College building and the Charlotte Observer Building proudly stands in their outdated maps.  I am missing a newer version somehow?

I'm not up on my Stonewall, so I don't know what project this is, but here's the view from my cube....errr, office.  Bonus cranes in the background.....Dimensional Place maybe?  Oh speaking of cranes here's the collaborative Charlotte Crane map.....no idea how up-to-date it is: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1stPo4OgYelaaEDP5Ceyg1rTxajE&usp=sharing

^Looks like Tryon Place (Ally).  You will have a great view of DEC#2 too!

and the cranes in the background are the new apartments at Atherton and Lennar apartments at the Pepsi plant site.   Must be in 400 South Tryon with those gold windows.

Wework inks deal at first citizens

[KJHburg]

Wow I heard just 2 floors 20 and 21 but they will 120,000 sq ft PLUS in First Citizens and it says the building went from 29% leased to 59% leased in 1 year.  7 full floors in First Citizens and 4 in Stonewall Station.   The micro roasted coffee business is going to explode with this expansion LOL!

What ever happened to Fourth Ward Bread? It looked like they were about to get moving last year but nothing ever happened. 

Its dead. They took the sign down from the window. I'm just hoping someone will find a way to re-use the building sooner than later.

That entire block has great community potential.  The buildings form a cohesive area that provides an awesome 'blank canvas' for any planner/designer.  Just need to buy-out the autoshop's lease.  Alas . . .

My apologies but I couldn't find a better spot for this (I believe one exists though).  The building on 5th Street located on the future spot for the police station is now empty and an asbestos contractor was working on it last week.  Presumably, it's in advance of demolition.  The prior tenant moved two weeks ago.  No idea on the time-frame but they appear to be moving ahead with the relocation (which opens up the current location for redevelopment also).

I was just about to post this. I'm glad to see this moving. It, along with Gateway station, will truly make Gateway Village fell connected to the rest of Uptown.

Now I just need to remember to cross the street while walking to the office BEFORE I get to the construction site.

Couldn’t find a topic to put this under but I want to hear some collaboration, What do you guys think the next ‘It’ area(s) are in Charlotte?

I have a “what should be an it” area of Charlotte.... 

Morehead! Sooo much potential, construction going on but so underrated (the part around Pinky’s)

 

i dunno if it will be an “it” place soon, but it should be.

I would love to see Elizabeth really take off with good urban planning / development, but the amount of land that CPCC and Novant own worries me.

I'd love to see some better (re)development in Cotswold, too much asphalt (same could be said about Park Rd Shopping Center)...

I also think this area could be redeveloped quite nicely as the Inizio outparcel at Dilworth Crossing (IMO)was well designed / constructed and could be a catalyst for better redevelopment in this little node:

I think that's part of the new Reid's

[elrodvt]

It's actually pretty good too. Don't ruin it.

that maybe and why it drew my vision down that way.  well the sushi place might get more business as people will see people eating outside there

The patio area is new for Reid’s.

Way way back in the 1990's maybe even late 80's, that was the Pine Room.  There was a Harper's concept or 2 in between that and Room 112.

 

The Pine Room was amazing.  It was a tiny white table cloth fine dining place covered in pine panelling, really unlike anything that exists now.  It was more "big city" for it's hole-in-the-wall secret vibe.

It closed and relaunched as much larger The Zebra over across from South Park around 2000.
