I would imagine Morehead slowly densifies over the next 5 years.

as long as they preserve most of the willow oaks I am okay.

I would imagine nature will take care of those. They are starting to near their ends.

Dilworth oaks are going quickly too

Willow oaks lining the streets in Myers Park is stunning.  Wish this could have been replicated in more of the city.  Hard to achieve canopies over our thoroughfares with the Duke Energy tree mutilation program to keep droopy power lines as conspicuous as ever.  Yes, I understand I'll get lambased for prioritizing tree limbs and shade over conduits for electricity, but I find the hacksawed limbs and foliage to be dispiriting.

Is there anything in the works to mandate new TOD's bury all overhead utility lines? With a densifying SouthEnd, it's absolutely pathetic to see great developments ruined by messy utility lines. If any of these newly-planted street tree species have the potential to grow  to impact the required clearances of the lines, you know for sure that Duke Energy contractors will come hacking their way through SouthEnd streets in about 15 years.

Architecture firms shouldn't have to spend hours photoshopping utility lines out of final photos or using renderings in lieu of finished photos of horrible street elevations.

AKA: Vantage, Railyard,  Lowe's, Portman,  2100 South Tryon, etc...

Miscellaneous photos of Southend skyline and prominent buildings. Today.

From The Ledger this morning:

“Cousins Properties bought four parcels (1,2,3,4) totaling 3.4 acres near the intersection of South Tryon and Bland streets for $28.1M. The land includes several surface lots as well as the building that contains Hot Taco and All American Pub. OK, if you haven’t heard of those, it’s the building that used to include the restaurant Greek Isles and, if you really have a long Charlotte memory, Jillian’s. A Cousins spokeswoman told The Ledger she had no comment on plans for the site.”

Any thoughts on if this mean a new tower on the horizon or just land banking for the future?

Interesting.  I don't like any of those restaurants, but I would still be annoyed if the buildings were demolished when there is a surface parking lot directly across the street.

I thought that land was bought too, and they were just doing soil sampling.

Cousins does not like to land bank for a long time I would say they are putting plans together for an office building or tower.  Given its location right on the LYNX line also a mixed use project like one including an apartment tower.

It’s gonna suck when Southend looks just like uptown.

"The South End Common Market building complex is just a couple buildings, nothing special about them. This is how cities evolve."

Yeah, I don't know anything other than Cousins publicly stating recently that there is a lot of inbound interest in Charlotte from northeast companies.  They rarely land bank, so I assume the have a tenant lined up.

Check out the new multifamily that Cleveland (yes, Cleveland) gets. If this pencils out in Cleveland then Charlotte's developers clearly can do better.

(this is just across the river in Ohio City)

Can’t believe nothing have been mentioned about the sale of the land at All American Pub, Slate, Hot Taco and the parking lot across Bland St for either 23 or 28million.    Anybody have a idea on what the plans are for the property? They’ll have a light rail stop at their front door

Can someone tell me if Cousins also owns the parking lot directly next to the Hot Taco? Or is that another company that was soil sampling there?

that would be Cousins I think according to the way the parcels are lined.

Took a little walk after I woofed down a whole Blaze Pizza and took a few photos naturally. 

I know some are worried Southend will turn into a forest of high rises but I dont see it happening ever or at least for a very long time.  There is enough small townhome projects, small  condo buildings, small office and retail buildings on small lots I just see it having a variety of buildings for a very long time.  

Weather A+ today for late November too. 

question what if anything is going with the old antique mall and old Miller Office supply building?  I thought I remember it changing hands recently but now can't remember for sure.
