Scaleybark Station Area Projects

[Guest]

For all the progress various areas of town are making, each and every one still have their suburban development fudge-ups. From QuikTrips, to Valvelines, to Suburban BofA branches, they all have problems. I feel like none of them are quite as damning, however, as the Carvana going across the street from what should be one of the cities most important mixed use development.

Is it going to be a "vending machine?" 

[grodney]

I have a hard time believing this is a real thing that's going to happen.

It makes perfect sense for our customer base: drop their junked car off at a North Tryon St junk yard, hop on the train, hop off and hop in their new car from our machines! Get hoppin'!!"

Here is what the Carvana looks like in Nashville and the one in Houston is much taller. http://www.chron.com/business/bizfeed/article/Car-vending-machine-coming-to-Houston-9173308.php  The people likely to use a service like this are the people living in SouthEnd I would think younger Millenial types.

The Queen Park sign lives!

Coming to South Boulevard: A car vending machine?

It looks like South Boulevard is on track to see a new kind of development: A “car vending machine” from the online auto dealer Carvana.

The company, which touts its online buying and delivery process, is targeting a site directly across from the Scaleybark Station for the Blue Line light rail. According to construction documents filed with the city, the Carvana location would include an 8,270 square foot auto store, part of which would be a 71-foot-tall “car display” located at the front of the building

Not sure where to put this but here are some photos of the new Harris Teeter anchored Sedgefield shopping center. This is a great new addition to South End. The varied roof lines make this center look great. Streetscape looks good too or will look good.

My only complaint is the horrible blank wall along Poindexter.  I'm not sure how they can soften it up.

will someone please just bury the friggin power lines.

The structure that will hold the old queen park sign has been erected. 

[Bikeguy]

Not a half bad building for Scaleybark Station Area. Much better than the Pawn Shop it'll replace. Being developed by Lincoln Harris. 40k sq feet with Surface parking :-(

[SgtCampsalot]

So... is it right up on South Blvd's sidewalk like the image suggests?

I like how it comes right up to the street. This will be at the corner of South and Hollis.

[hambone931]

Thank god. I was getting worried since one of those shady "arcades" opened in that old strip club recently.

40,000 sq ft office building with surface parking says completion first quarter 2018.

Safe to say Southside Dr could become the next Montford Dr with the bar scene?

Absolutely. Between 2 breweries, 2 distilleries, a bar, Queen Park Social and some uhhhh other things happening this is no doubt its own entertainment corridor.

now just throw some sidewalks in that beotch! 

They should make this a one way street from Old Pineville to Yancey, and put big sidewalks/parallel parking.
