The CP article mentions that Charlotte Metro Tower will be Charlotte’s third Tallest.  I think that’s a typo?

I saw that too. It’s technically going to be 4th right

Speaking that there is a ton of incorrect info in there... 

for instance " will include seven stories of retail space and seven levels of parking."

Seven floor of retail?! no

"Ally Financial leased 400,000 square feet in the building and will consolidate its Charlotte employees there upon completion. "

Nope they are leasing the entire building.

I thought the seven stories of retail sounded too good to be true. Does anyone think Uptown would be able to absorb that much at one time? Doubt it.

Closest thing Uptown has is the B-Tower with 4 or 5 floors of Commercial Space...

I don't think 7 floors of retail makes sense anywhere except Alpha/World Class Cities

It could if there were more apartments in that area. Residents would use it often depending on what type of retail.

Nothing above floor 2 or 3 would survive.

@Tyree Ricardo do you know anything about the new look for the retail spaces at 101 Independence that Crescent bought?  I thought I saw something on @Cltdevelopment twitter feed today.

Nothing against Northeastern University, but I always wondered how they lucked out with a Trade & Tryon location.  I will be happy to see different types of retail take it's place (as it appears in the renderings your referring to).  That renovation they are doing to 101 will be nice.

So if the epicenter was a couple more floors then it wouldn’t survive? 

[Matthew.Brendan]

Epicenter is half empty and barely surviving as is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Guest]

Why?

It’s just not normal human movement patterns. It would have to be wildly popular for people to go out of their way, and if it was wildly popular it would just afford a ground level space.

I don’t think so, no, not in charlotte. Really only as a massive department store in a world class city, but you can see those dying off, very quickly.

With respect to the 101 N Tryon renovation to open up the Tyron street front, I'm largely underwhelmed. I guess to force a single continuous floor plate, they are forcing all of the stairs/elevation change to the street, which to me actually cuts it off more from the sidewalk. Right now those elevation changes are dealt with either inside the building, or right at the specific tenant doors.

Is that work complete? or just getting started? Honestly from just walking by I couldn't even tell. but that whole strip with the Starbucks feels invisible from the sidewalk.

Referring to the proposed renovation renderings from the last page

[Matthew.Brendan]

Oh I see it now, my bad. Sometimes I miss stuff when the pages rollover. Man those rendering are fantastic. Hopefully they'll get rolling on these upgrades sooner than later!

Maybe if they actually had a reason to go there then it would be great but I see no point in there being all this bland chain restaurants and Rite Aid. Like the Epicenter should have major entertainment and better retail options like a movie theater, skating rink, and a wider variety of food choices not just beer, tacos, and sandwiches. Of course I still think an Apple Store would work there. But hey these are just my opinions that I’m sure would do better than what’s there now.

Right now it could be the Epicenter for social distancing.

Looks like a 2nd crane is in the works for the convention center expansion from my drive by  today.   last photo 2nd crane base.
