the new multistory miniwarehouse building on 7th St by 277.  Honestly it looks like a hotel like the new Homes2Suites.

Today.   Bonus shot of the little bar that stood its ground under tremendous development pressures.

Didn't know where to ask this, but does anyone know what is going to happen to the Tech Zone space on the College St. side of Bank of America Tower? One of the glass panes was broken a few weeks ago and now the store is slowly being packed up. The only information I could find is an Observer article about the store opening in 2016.

I've been walking by every day and don't think I've ever seen anyone in there.

^^^ maybe people could rent out their storage units as a bare bones Airbnb rental.

From today's Business Journal regarding seeking a Master Developer for Gateway:

"We're looking for an iconic, mixed-use, transit-oriented development that has not just Amtrak but local bus, intercity bus, light rail, et cetera mixed in with a pretty robust vertical development that can be anything from hotel to retail to office space to residential," Lewis said.

If this could tie in with the RFP for the Transportation mall......

If Virgin Trains is serous about Charlotte this is a no brainer for their stated and published business model

Saw these stairs yesterday on Hill St they speak to some proposed projects uptown.  But I let you caption this photo.

There used to be quite a few of these on Stonewall, which were the last remnants of single family homes in Brooklyn, but they all disappeared with the construction of The Pressley.

[elrodvt]

We should have a thread for these! 

[KJHburg]

Just me but I think I would have waited a little bit on renovating this Starbucks until either the new S Tryon location at 212 S Tryon or the one on Stonewall opens...

this one is the one at Levine of the Arts and S Church.

Another one coming to the Grand Bohemian ground floor!

These are used to read the the electric meter that is on the pole.

I have no idea if I’m posting this in the right place, and I’m probably super late to the party, but I noticed they finally updated Google Earth/Maps and now show the development as of mid-to-late 2018. No more Charlotte Observer building! Hello Legacy Union.

WPTP Brevard LLC, BPR Properties and Crescent Communities have all submitted proposals for the Charlotte Transportation Center site, according to CATS.... CATS declined to provide details about the bids, citing confidentiality agreements.

Birju Patel, president of High Point-based developer BPR Properties, said Wednesday that his firm sent in the original unsolicited proposal....

BPR Properties developed the Embassy Suites on East Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and also worked on the Northside Station adaptive-reuse project in uptown. The firm has plans to build a Moxy Hotel at the corner of South Brevard and East Fourth streets

WPTP Brevard LLC is registered with Charlotte-based White Point Partners, a real estate firm that specializes in adaptive reuse. That LLC also purchased a parcel of land near the CTC — a 1.2-acre surface parking lot, at 206 S. Brevard St., directly across Fourth Street from the bus center. The firm acquired that land from Norfolk Southern Corp. for $10.9 million this spring, suggesting a multi-block redevelopment may be on the drawing boards by the firm and any potential partners, should its CTC bid be accepted. The balance of the Brevard Street block, a 1.3-acre site that also serves as surface parking, remains owned by the N.C. Railroad Co.

[and Crescent specializes in value engineered parking decks which wrap charming historic buildings...]

A bus center will be mandatory for any redevelopment of the site, Lewis said.

from the above referenced article

""WPTP Brevard LLC, BPR Properties and Crescent Communities have all submitted proposals for the Charlotte Transportation Center site, according to CATS. The deadline for submittals was earlier this week after a call for offers was made in early June, following an unsolicited bid to develop a mixed-use project at the site, which sits in the heart of uptown and along two transit corridors. By law, the transit agency was required to made a request for competing offers, which had a deadline of July 15.""

one in White Point Partners   (Optimist Mill) BPR a hotel developer, and Crescent we all know.  No one would comment on their plans but White Pt Partners also acquired 1.2 acres from NC RR across 4th St from the bus depot.

I know a lot of people are hoping for a new tallest from the transit center proposals, but I don't think that will happen
