Miscellaneous photos of Southend midrise construction and a few high rises.  

Hotel construction site next to Krispy Kreme HQ, new Alliance apartments along the Rail Trail, new apartments by Kettler/Akridge on Dunavant/Hawkins intersection.  Forgot about the new Velvet Taco until I saw the sign on Hawkins. 

That blue orb on the Krispy Kreme photo could be the ghost of Vernon Rudolph founder of KK.

Parking deck going up at (see prodev post below) Sedgefield Shopping Center part 2. Note ‘brick’ facade.

That's the actual office building. It's pre-cast concrete construction, which is what most parking decks are.

Yes, that's almost always the case for parking decks.  The DEC is actually a precast/double-tee construction similar to this.

I just love to see a big surface lot filled in with an actual structure

Various shots of Southend yesterday and the variety building sizes and heights is what makes this one of the best sections of Charlotte.   New restaurants  getting ready to open.

Not sure if this will be mid- or high-rise, but looks like Chicago apartment developer Sterling Bay is behind the rumored plans of redevelopment of the Sandwich Max/Beijing corner (1601 S Blvd @ Park Ave).  I've heard conflicting rumors if it will include the Wells Fargo at the other end of the block (at Kingston) or not.

While I'm hopeful (but seemingly unlikely) that they would keep that small brick building at the corner as part of the project, Sterling Bay overall develops high quality architectural projects.  (I would think similar in quality to the Portman apartments planned down on Hawkins)

Never heard of them, but feeling optimistic.

I heard rumors of another office tower with anchor tenant in place at an event tonight  and this tower would has not been mentioned on UP.  Don't know who the anchor is and not the height but likely a high rise.

Mr. Ks/leather and lace site? Or Atherton park?

What's up with this project?

Is it dead?

They just filed for a rezoning to TOD-UC(CD) in the last few days.  I don't think the rezoning materially changes the overall project plan, just allows a little more flexibility.

Not those areas but it will be close to the action.

I had heard Steelyard was being looked at, so I'll guess there.

Woah. I honestly thought those buildings were safe. How many old buildings is this city going to tear down when we have so much empty land  /less significant buildings to replace?

Hopefully it’s where the steelyard parking deck is then…so just next door i hope.

Are those buildings historic?  Or were they built to look historic?  I feel like they were built in the 90’s.  I could be wrong, but thought someone told me that at one point.

I stand corrected.  It was built in 1904.

Polaris says 1937 (Polaris aint so good with built dates)

 

[Prodev]

Only the north building is historic/old. The other two and deck were built in '97.

The owners confirm that? I guess. Says 1930s.

So maybe the other ones will go but the one built in 1930s will stay. It’s a nice brick building. Would be a shame to see it go.

From what I am reading just the parking garage wrapped building is new (and looks it). The two on either side are from the 30s. If they just replace the garage and wrapped building that is still enough space I think for a tower. Don’t touch Sullivans is all I’m saying. Or the general store across the street. The bs about widening south blvd has to stop, it’s not happening and we can’t lose some of the last original buildings in the neighborhood
