SouthEnd Midrise Projects

[RugbyPike#11]

Don't know if this has already been mentioned, but I saw this week that lumber is going up at Camden Southline.

[nonillogical]

I notice there are no renderings of the back side of the building (given his past performance. not Mr Furman's strong suit).  I'm guessing the rear two sides are concrete slabs of parking deck?

Given the L shape of the retail and office space wrapping around the deck, I think you'll have 1/3 of the north and west facing sides with some windows and finished facade, and hopefully they'll make the deck look a little better than a concrete slab. I'm ok with the parking not being fully wrapped since its butting up right next to the other buildings, and it was probably the only way to do a non-podium deck on a site this small.

Yeah, two sides will be open Deck, but the only views of those sides will be for those living in the Park & Kingston Apartments and from the parking lot behind Price's Chicken and that office building on the corner of Camden and Park. So if the sides of the deck have to be open, at least they're looking inward on the block and not on the street or rail line, like so many of the existing decks in South End.

Man oh man, that side of the Silos is so bad.

Camden Southline's yet-to-be-wrapped parking deck is in the background. Future Publix is in the foreground (big hole).

The backside seems to be wrapped. if you look really really close. 

I'm hoping for some real progress by the time i'm in town next (July)

[HopHead]

Thanks for the pics, gman430... Feel free to make your way to Charlotte more often with your camera!

 

Now actually seeing a visual of Camden Gallery, of the outline anyways, it will be such a big change to that area.. 

[Matthew.Brendan]

It really does all look the same.

The poor modeling agency is no more at the Quarters at Morehad site... (Why was there a modeling agency there in the first place?)

Does anyone know about the parcel of land between West Blvd and Kingston on the east side of Tryon? There used to be a "For Sale" sign on the empty land there, but it's been taken down and now they've roped off the land borders next to the sketchy house beside Saucemen's. All the guys that are outside that house drinking 40s at 8a.m. every morning have had their outdoor space cramped now. They're still there, just on their side of the caution tape.

Ha-ha, I actually noticed that yesterday.  That house cracks me up.  I'll drive by on my way home and there will be like 30 people hanging around a fire pit stroking beers.

^ I believe that CCCP had planned that parcel to be a park -- but the last discussion I heard about that was over a year (two?) ago.

[ScottCLT]

If that is what will happen, this is one case where I hope this is a park where alcohol is never allowed - or at least to very limited events! The large group of men drinking outside that house every single day is a blight to the neighborhood.

The narrow strip of land fronting S Tryon between Carson and Palmer (where the leasing office parking for Camden South End currently is) looks like it might see 11 townhomes go there.  This would be really cool, especially if there were brownstone style stoops fronting Carson.

 

They would need to be pretty big/expensive to justify anything near what Harris Development is asking for that piece of land (guessing $550k-$650k/unit).  I hope this works out, because it would be nice to see more for-sale product in South End.

Oh that'd be AWESOME! Might be out of my price range for investment, but would be a great place to have a townhome, a stones throw from Carson Street Station.

[southslider]

Wish they were live-work townhomes. No such new product currently exists in Charlotte.

[nonillogical]

Does anyone else think it seems like Camden Gallery has paused? I'm not worried yet or anything, but I haven't seen any progress on the site, which was very quick at first, in almost 2 weeks now.

I really think we will see a webcam for this guy. Heres Hoping I'm right. It will have a pretty awesome view.

It's unusual to have a full-size crane like this for a 5 story stick-built apartment building right? Summit & Church for example is 5 stories over 2 stories of parking and is not using a crane.

Usually yes, however the footprint of 1100 is much larger than that of Summit & Church and includes 4 internal courtyards so they may need the increased reach of a tower crane to reach across the site.

those guys are kicking themselves for not using a tower crane.

[southslider]

A crane can make sense for low-rise when the site is physically constrained.

The Wilmore Neighborhood Association newsletter actually discussed this park in it's latest issues. Sounds like the WNA needs to do some fundraising to get the park construction moving (which seemed bizarre to me but...) . Long story short, it sounds like the park is still in the works, but it may be a while.
