That's awesome.  I had no idea they were going here also.  I knew about the Refinery location just down the road, that still happening?

IMO QC Grounds is the best thing to come out of Charlotte in the last 5 years.  I hope they continue to do well and have ambitions to expand not just in the city, but beyond and even well beyond

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.

This is off topic but in addition to several other retailers, I'd like to see an Urban format Target take space in South End.

Not a bad idea, there is enough room on the Tryon fronting side of Vantage for a small small format version.

The Hub apartments open and some leased up as I saw patio furniture. 

Rail Trail and views of Atherton Mill old and new.

Pictures from the other side of the Rail Trail earlier today. The fence is still blocking this portion from Publix. More pictures will be posted in the project threads.

 

[KJHburg]

saw this sign yesterday thought it was funny but appropriate due to some people's actions.

Miscellaneous Southend photos today. 

1. Dimensional Funds first major corporation to commit to major office space in market.

2.  The Hawk

3. 4.  Now Lowes tech tower rising and the Square tower on the horizon.

These two across from each other really show the dramatic change in South End

^^^^^and that building shown in 2nd photo will become an apartment complex itself.

It's a shame there aren't more direct access points through the apartment superblocks along the RailTrail towards Dunavant/Hawkins Sts. Technically you can walk through them but it's not a clear route.

Maybe that can be changed when the station is put in. Would definitely help retail accessibility.

^ I am fairly certain  that this grassy trail is intended to be public access (it is not fenced at either end) from Hawkins to the rail trail. Unfortunately its become the defacto dog park so its a perilous journey.  It cries out for an actual sidewalk.

(at at the rail trail end this was the rail spur that served the Distribution and Dunavant sidings which are still visible on the sat view just to the South of what you see below)

^^^ this is a sidewalk link on the other side of the apartment complex on Hawkins and you can see it in the that photo above.  I have used that several times a sidewalk from Hawkins to the Rail Trail.

This is a fire truck access lane that was required so that the rail trail side of the building can be accessed by emergency vehicles.

Just like the rail trail itself!

 

There's also technically a public access gate into the Junction development as well, but just because something is there doesn't make it clear for users that don't know about it. Better signage would definitely help, maybe even labeling it Ironside Avenue > To Dunavant Street, as would paving & lighting the fire lane along side Spectrum.

[kermit]

^ I have been past there a thousand times and never once realized that access was there.

We are really starting to see a South End skyline. This will look very different in the coming months. 

[KJHburg]

forgot these from yesterday the burgeoning Southend skyline from the Railyard.
