Anyone know the expected completion date of the police station?

 

It will be done before RNC in August

on topic but miniaturized...

my wife 3d printed a copy of the uptown skyline for me!
 

 

Hurst was not ‘Hursted’, but check out those accurately reproduced surface lots! (actually I think they are mostly Bearden and Settlers Cemetery)

Of course I was 'that guy' who had to ask about why the the Blue Line isn't there (sometimes I am surprised I am still married)

I’d buy one if she adds in Legacy Union and Ally.

Didn't get a great look, but it looks to be a beer garden.  There is a great sign that says  "Craft Beer For Your Mouth Hole." I almost wrecked! HAHAHA

[CLTranspo]

Resident Culture had a beer garden there and there was an associated Christmas Market. IRRC it was just a holiday pop up, its all coming down now I believe.

Who owns this parking lot. Is there a chance of it being developed?

The building and the tower is Verizon, I think. The rest around it is Mr. Daniel Levine.

So then the answer to the question is "No, no chance of it getting developed."

Barings unveils plans to renovate parking deck, add retail space in uptown - 100 W. Third St. Finally it is happening

On the one hand, yay! A parking deck will at least have some retail at the bottom. OTOH, this corner will remain a parking deck for the foreseeable future.

Biggest Uptown news of the year, perhaps the past 6 months, maybe even.  This will be huge and make  dramatic positive impact.

That parking deck has deeded (?) parking space for owners of condos in 230 S Tryon.  They would have to be bought out.

The parking deck has about 500 spaces not counting the ground level.  In addition to the leased condo spaces, it is also contracted parking for tenants of 300 South Tryon.  Renovations would only be to the ground level, and the structures facade.

Fantastic news!  Will be a great intersection of retail right there. Excellent we are fixing problems/issues of the past, however, makes me wonder...how in the F did Ally build that giant parking deck with Zero retail slots in the bottom. I mean even the light rail parking decks planned for the future with retail. To not have made accommodations for future retail already built in to the bottom was poor judgement imo. It’s facing what I consider our (current) convention center hotel, the Westin and regions tower. Also one of the gateways into south end . In 2020 we are retrofitting parking decks with retail. Last year 2019, Ally built a giant wall of a parking along college...wonder how many years it will take to convert the bottom there to retail smh.

I thought the Former novare parking deck (by ally & catalyst) was built to support retail at least eventually.

i thought a grocery store was even rumored in it?

If only...

@CharlotteWkndBuzz Crescent Communities, not Ally per se

[KJHburg]

this parking deck retail at Church and 3rd wasn't that space marketed before for retail space?

So, (directed to RDF) is this thing really going to happen???  This is behind The Silos near the ADM facility.

A new residential tower on the northern edge of uptown and a hospital in south Charlotte were among the rezoning petitions approved by Charlotte City Council on Tuesday night.

Carolina Development Group NC LLC's petition to build 350 apartments and up to 6,500 square feet of retail space in a tower at North Smith and West 10th streets was approved. A site plan filed with the rezoning says the project could include condos or apartments, but, at the petition's public hearing last month, a representative of the developer told council that the planned units would be apartments.

The project would be the latest apartment tower in this cycle, with other developments like Museum Tower by Childress Klein and Ascent Uptown by Greystar adding high-rise buildings with rental units to uptown within the past several years. Notably, no condo towers in uptown have broken ground since the recession, despite demand for such product.
