I don't know anyone who goes to Dixie so I'm more inclined to believe this has little to do with Levine than Dixie decided to just move away from the space that served for a period and is not as hot.

 

Anyway - I do hope that the building remains as I remember sketches for it with the new park showing outdoor seating balconies on the second floor overlooking the park.

Last time I will say this but this destruction of the old Barringer Hotel is a travesty.  NO OTHER NC city would be doing this today and all would have worked with the hotel and private developers to

It definitely is shown as included for the park.   It is the nicer of the old buildings in the district, but Levine has torn down 3/4 of the rest, so I could see him finding a way to 'increase the size of the park'.   Regardless, I wasn't attached to Dixies the business, but do like that building.

Don't know that I would normally support a chain, but I think a touristy desination is maybe exactly what is needed there....with that said, and the Charleston style renderings in mind, I think a Bubba Gump Shrimp Co would be perfect for that spot.

About a year he was saying the same exact thing: Construction to start late summer/ fall. This guy is like a freaking broken record.

Wrong, I know for a fact that he is going to start filling in the 9 feet deep of leveling tomorrow. One clod of dirt at a time, by hand. The park will be completed by 2058

Well...look at his grammar. That probably explains a lot.

 

"I don't see no point in that, to be honest with you"

ohhh Double negative... He must be ecstatic about the park then.

If only local TV news were journalists.  They might actually reference the fact that he has been putting out this puff of smoke for 15 years already.  They also might recognize that this is not tax payer money in his pocket, it is the city getting free financing (money spent up front by someone else but allowing the city to pay them back over time) but also incenting that developer to do something with the land to generate new tax revenue.  

 

My favorite is that he is mocking how his own land looks, even though the only thing he has 'developed' so far are parking lots.  He took over land with a number of relatively interesting antique industrial buildings that many cities have figured out a way to use in very cool ways that enhance their cities, and razed them for asphalt automobile ovens. 

 

It does give me great solace to know that the world still has some large bags available for the washing of lady parts and anal cavities.  The french have a word for that, I believe.

There appears to be some work going on at the block just east of the UNCC Center City building (bounded by 8th, 9th, Caldwell and Brevard).  They look to be making this a temporary parking lot for the UNCC building.  They've graded the lot and added concrete parking 'blocks' and are doing some other work.  There have been quite a few construction vehicles (some from Levine Properties) in this area all week.  Could be nothing, but maybe, just maybe...

I just looked outside and the sun did rise again today... So I'm sure it's nothing related to Levine's project.

File under "I can't believe I am wasting 3 minutes of my life to type this"

 

Mary Newsome tweeted that the completion date for the First Ward park is listed as May 1, 2015  in the city council agenda for next week (see pdf page 20)

No freaking way...

 

 

Another important win for our team is our first project with Levine Properties, First Ward Apartments. This project includes 178 modern apartment homes and a parking deck. We are eagerly anticipating the start of construction on our first project with this family-owned, Charlotte-based developer.

Is there anything in the permitting system about first ward apartments?

There is an active request on Polaris, but there is an error when trying to pull it up. Maybe ATLRVR has some info an can shed some light? Too bad I can't tag people on posts...
