That looks great, would that mean it is in that lot between church and mint? What is there now? Parking lots I am assuming...

Old 2008 Proposal that was not announced to the General Public. At one point there was 4 or 5 office "towers" in the southend/dilworth area that never happened. There is 1 or 2 under development right now though, so maybe a design like this could be recycled.

BBM needs to update it's website and stop teasing us with sadness.

^ what he said.

I usually go by the belief that things shown on architecture sites are to be taken with a grain of salt. Showing designs for projects nobody has heard of that are "under wraps" would be a conflict of interest to the client. Usually if you find something you have never seen or heard about before theres an 85% change that it fell through, and the architects wanted to show off their hard work. Case in point "Trump Charlotte" is a featured project on littleonline.com

That makes sense.  Thanks for the insight.

Yeah they rezoned it to an industrial district to allow for something else. I think this is the "unnamed brewery" location, but I could be wrong about that.

Without giving away too many details, a source of mine told me the 400 unit hotel I mentioned previously is planned on one of the empty lots across from the hall of fame. Convention hotel maybe?

[15895]

That'd be around 20 floors. So which across? Beside the clock tower or one of the city owned parcels on the otherside of Stonewall?

[rjp212]

One of the city owned lots that was freed up when they did the exit realignment. I believe it's still not a completely done deal so I don't want to get them in trouble by disclosing too much.

Another site had a poster mention that he heard about a 48 floor Hyatt that will be announced in Charlotte soon. This matches 210 Trade's original floor height. Anybody have information, I've personally have no reason to believe the poster, or not believe him as I've never paid attention to them before.

^As I drove down Caldwell st this morning and saw the demolition for the Embassy Suites occurring in the shadow of the Hyatt Place which will open next month my reaction was "there is going to be lots of new hotel space downtown."

 

Add a 48 floor full service Hyatt to that mix? Gezzz.

[HopHead]

This 48 story Hyatt has to be at the Epicentre. Because the parking valet guy said so....

That'd be a 1000 room hotel. I would just have to think there'd be a residential component as well.

[ah59396]

I WANT TO BELIEVE

[nowensone]

Yeah, they don't even have an NC office it would appear [yet]..

[DCMetroRaleigh]

Let it be, let it be!

[cltbwimob]

Could it be the new two hotels, one building concept?  Maybe a Hyatt Regency and a Grand Hyatt under one roof?

Good point, I forgot that possibility was on the table.

That's my sentiment as well, but, assuming Theres truth behind it... We need a 48 floor office tower. Not necessarily a hotel tower.

My comment was more tongue in cheek than anything else. Someone on the Epicentre thread posted a while back that he heard from a valet attendant that someone was going to be built at this site. I refuse to believe anything anymore until there's an actual announcement. Besides, the owners of the Epicentre said not long ago that they were going to do their due diligence as to what to do with the former 210 Trade property and hoped to have something after the 1st of the year to announce. So, I doubt it's here.

210 trade ONLY works as residential/hotel. Too few elevators and too little floor space for Office.
