SouthEnd Midrise Projects

[AP3]

Holler & Dash signage installed today. Not much work has been done at the Sedgefield duplexes in the last two weeks, when they removed the windows. They do have masonry facade examples propped up on the construction fencing though.

That's some fun brick work on H&D. Would love to see more of that in lots of projects

I despise Cracker Barrel but love places like Biscuit Head in Asheville.  I feel like I'm going to end up loving H&D and dying a little inside lol

Odd thing to despise

Anyone know what is going on with the Common Market site on Tremont? It was supposed to have opened a good 6 months ago but I haven't seen any activity there. Hope all is well.

I believe they've already come out with another estimated opening, Observer article I found said May, that they'll probably miss by a mile.

Confession time: I worked there as a youth, and I can tell you it's almost like they try really hard to be totally, solidly mediocre. It's pretty phenomenal.

I really wish Atherton had a webcam.

You can’t tell from this angle but these are remarkably imposing from South Blvd, it feels much more urban for drivers and they really help to make 277 less of a moat.

Fencing has gone up around 307 W Tremont.  It looks like this will be the next building to get its makeover in the design district.  The only rendering I could find of this one is the rendering posted on the Charlotte Agenda.   No idea if this is a full tear down or a major renovation.

Major Renovation.

Tremont Square Townhomes were recently approved.  Just west of S Tryon.

don't remind me, the names of the streets were the most Charlotte f.u.c.k.i.n.g way to commemorate Tremont music hall. Devastating.

I know.  It would be cool if a new music venue would go into the remaining space of the Old Amos' - I heard Elevation Church is going in there.

Remaining??? Gin Mill took all of it, I'm pretty sure. And I can't imagine Elevation Church would be happy in such a small space. I could see them renting out blumenthal on sundays before I could see them taking a place at Amos.

They only took the front portion, the area behind the stage that fronts Tryon.  The huge space with the mezzanine behind Gin Mill ins't being used by them.  I've been a few times in the last few weeks.  This pic posted on Skyscraper City shows the old white portion and the sandblasted brick (which is Gin Mill).

^^^ Is there sewer capacity for these new townhomes on West Tremont?  I thought that that was the affected area with the sewer problems.  anyone know?  I would say 3 toilets per min. per townhome plus sinks etc.

No its not. However there was a townhouse project directly accross the street who's rezoning was withdrawn based on capacity concerns

Who needs an entire music hall when you can live on Lyric Lane?

Could anyone grab a update of Atherton for a homie?

So we've spent a couple of pages now talking about a one story and three story building.  Never understood why this is a "midrise" thread considering there isn't a single mid rise building in South End that doesn't have pink glass, but when in Rome I guess.

I agree that the title is a bit misleading, as the content has steered away from the original intent. It was for the better because we needed a thread for miscellaneous SE projects. Nonetheless, we should rename the thread to simply “South End Projects”. Pretty much everything in SE with significant height has their own threads anyway (e.g., Railyard, Dimensional).

Its a legacy from 2008 back when actual midrises were actually being proposed for Southend, and in one case (the Ashton) built. See the first post in the thread (about the Simpson lighting site).

We had discussed changing the thread title many years ago but I think the mods were being optimistic and stuck with the original intent. Honestly DFA, the Railyard and the Design Center may have brought us full circle.

I see this as a thread to discuss possible developments until they are fully fleshed out enough to warrant their own threads. The building in question that is one floor was demolished for one of the mid-rises (Railyard), which is why it was brought up.
