It is unannounced and very speculative at this time but several people independently on this site have confirmed something is in the works for a major mixed use project on the rest of this block. 

Ohhh ok. I think I remember. ThanlsThanks

I hope there are some substantial buildings built on the Charlotte Cigar Club lot and the lot across at 908 S Tryon.  It's kind of the gateway into south end from Uptown and would create an awesome canyon feel from 277.  I know the owners didn't want to sell in the past (everyone has a price though), but I can assume Uptown Cab and midnight diner's days are limited.  Wish they could do something with that huge parking deck directly adjacent to the Carson station as well.  But that whole area has a ton of potential.  If done correctly, could really connect the dots between Uptown and SE to make it a truly seamless transition (regardless of a cap).

Southend apartment development continues. 2.5 acres at Distribution and Dunavant. Groundbreaking not planned for 12-18 months accroding to CBJ. Time for folks to start creating a much better retail strip back there.

Apologies if I am late to this.

I am trying to figure the plot for this. Either way, in 5 more years, I doubt there are may warehouses left in SouthEnd. That plots that are developable will be going tall as well. 

Speaking of which 400 units on 2.5 acres. That sounds like it will be more then a 7 story midrise.

from yesterday this building that was going to be a multilevel entertainment and bar complex seems stalled (no construction workers present) anybody know any updates?  I cant even remember the name of it  (but I see it is was called the Platform)   but near the LYNX tracks crossing South Blvd across from the proposed Lidl site.    My thoughts this would be a really hard sell now  could be very problematic in the post pandemic world for dining and entertainment places.

This place was a hard sell before the pandemic. I have a feeling it won't get financing.

City Council approved the $19M construction contract on Monday for the South Blvd Water Main expansion. This project runs from Worthington near the Dowd YMCA all the way down to Scaleybark Rd. Construction starts in about a month. Expect South Blvd to be a big ole mess for the next year during construction. Obviously this is needed to support all the new offices and residents.

I Survived the 54 inch Water Main. Those were the words on t-shirts available in 1986-87 as the city replaced older smaller mains with this gigantic supply serving neighborhoods further out in the (mostly) newly annexed areas of the city. As with many events from around this period, internet archives are insufficient to document the times. Here is something I found that gives a flavor of the scope and problems.

My experience was that it went out Morehead Street in the center of Charlotte and then out Providence. I lived in Dilworth at the time. Can you imagine what traffic problems this would create now? 54 inch wide conduit with a large enough trench to accommodate men and equipment. Intersections closed for weeks. Somehow we survived. Businesses less so.

Was that one of the pieces of infrastructure that made Ballantyne possible?

No that was so people near the arboretum and in south charlotte could get more water pressure.

Townhouses, Mint/Graham near Palmer.

notice streetscape improvements (2nd photo)  on Graham, I suspect it is the new requirement for the gold district.

The Brass Tap space is being gutted and the space at the S Tryon end has been refitted into restaurant looking space.

For clarity; Vana is at the corner. Brass Tap is gonna be a place called Vinyl

[CriticalT]

Former Brass Tap has album covers in the window with a coming soon tag for vinylCLT.

Judging by the fence, DH Griffin dumpster, disconnected electric and the equipment I am guessing these buildings are going to be gone in the next few days. I am really gonna miss the old building.
