The Vue

[DigitalSky]

What is the height of Vue again?

[dubone]

The physical height is not yet announced. It is currently being marketed as 50 stories. There are rumors that if sales continue to do well that they will increase it up to 8 more stories.

[atlrvr]

The announced height when it was 50 stories was 668' including spire.....

[rockhilljames]

That would put its height at over 750' with the spire. Sweet.

Of course, how big's the spire? Good lord this building's going to look HUGE from I-77 as you drive by...

daddy like !

I think marketing materials and website still at 50, the 58 rumor is looking less likely, in my opinion.

That is, unless they are planning one of those last-minute competition on height with TwoTenTrade.

Check out the model of the city that they just put in front of the sales center. It looks like according to the model it will be a touch higher than Epicenter. It actually looks equal in height to the Hearst. I love their model since it has all of the buildings that are now going up (including Trademark, Avenue, Epicenter, etc, etc). It appears to be a scale model.

Check it out ! Someone put a ton of work into it.

AWESOME! I remember seeing the site last time I was in town last week. Charlotte is really doing some amazing things right now.

What are the price ranges?

This time im talking about the model of the city that was put in front of the sales center.

[dubone]

Oh, I see now.

[urbanvb]

That is one beautiful building indeed. And the "vues" from inside are incredible. I bet the price is too .

The link should work. Once you get to the website click on Renderings. Then go to Interior Renderings.

They are an interior look at several of the condos.

[unccmyway]

the website is being weird for me too. It's saying "undefined" where the renderings should be.

went by the vue sales center with my camera, but unfortunately the battery was dead, fate has pulled a cruel trick on me, he has, but seriously people need to get down there and see this thing, its amazing, and the vue is gonna look so nice, we are gonna have a second defined skyline view, that'll be the view of epicenter, Hearst, Bank of America Corp, IJL aka whatever tryon it is, Avenue, Carillon, Trademark, and then the vue, its gonna look so great, It'll give our skyline so much width from all angles, down the line you'll even be able to see the new wachovia, I am so excited, ya'll haveta go down there and check out the model, from all angles, thats my favourite, take that picture monsoon took from the train yard and imagine the new buildings in there, its breathtaking truely breathtaking. 2008, I can't wait.

The guy at the Sales Center, his name is bo, said the building should go up in a year and a half because of the tunnel form design, he said it should go up faster than you can imagine. Apparently in the condos you can be loud as you want and nobody can here you.

Another thing I learned from my visit was that apparently the Avenue, bleh Novare I hate them, told people that their building was all concrete too, but according to Public Records, it only had a concrete foundation, should be interesting, thats just what the sales rep said tho. I'm gonna do my best to go back tommorrow with a working camera

Speaking of which how do you add personal photos anyways????

[CATFAN]

according to a relator I know, they sold around 80 units sofar.

I had my camera with me Saturday afternoon though the weather was dreary and it started to rain...

[dubone]

Wow, thank you, Neo! That is a very cool model. I think it has some flaws in its scaling, but that's okay, it is just for visualization purposes.

[ElricSeven]

And gee, all the flaws seem to downplay the competition. Do you think it is coincidence?

[dubone]

Yeah, that is true. But it also seems to make Hearst lower, and 1 Wach taller.

[facilities man]

I'm not a fan of the design of this building, but it does add substantially to the skyline. It's close enough to the core of buildings to be part of the skyline, but far enough away that it pulls out the skyline and makes the whole downtown look bigger. It's a nice addition for Charlotte.
