The Vue

[AuLukey]

Here is the link to a pdf showing this advertisement. Again, it doesn't really mean anything, but it is a pretty good looking rendering of the Vue. The pdf is 2 pages and the ad is on the 2nd page. Link

It's not as aesthetically pleasing in that image either however more realistic.

I have a friend how is buying at The Vue. He was informed that he had to get his remaining deposit in this month - that is required when they break ground -- he was told that would be next month (December).

Side note: another random unit listed on the MLS by an agent -- not really a listing for one unit but directs those who view it to the sales center and website.

The building permit for the Vue is really close to being approved, should be just a matter of days on this one.

[Charlotte_native]

Perfect, from your posts it looks like 210 and The Vue will get their permits within a week or two of each other

TWO fifty story condo tower cranes rising over the city.

Wow...it's like Miami or something.

So is the Vue a done deal to be built now? (Last I heard things were sort of up in the air)

I would put The Vue at a 99% success rate.

All word on this thread and in the papers is that they have sold enough, and will have groundbreaking this winter.

There are still some skeptics, but in general, the negativity seems to have subsided when Churchill withdrew the zoning text amendment request to give them a back up plan. That happened around the same time they worked out the land ownership issues with (I think it was) Chris Branch.

They own the land, have announced all over the place that they have enough pre-sales for financing to kick in, and now are close to the permits. I'd say I'd agree with 99% call, with the 1% being a catastrophic event.

Further proof that this project is moving forward:

They are asking city council to let them lease some vacant property for $8,800 per month to store construction matiearals. City council is expected to aprove this request on Monday.

wow, what a step forward for Charlotte it would be for both the Vue and 210trade to be going up. 2 50+ condo towers, it'll be a race to the top.

[dubone]

So far, we've been used to Trademark and Avenue racing, but towers almost twice as tall racing up to the sky will be quite a sight to see.

I'm so relieved that they appear to have their financing in order. They are both great looking projects.

[RiverwoodCLT]

Mobuchu get your camera ready.

[krazeeboi]

The Vue will really be an exclamation mark in Charlotte's ever-expanding skyline.

[dubone]

The fact that the Vue is so far away from the rest of the main tower corridors will cause it to have a major impact.

Mobuchu get your camera ready.

Yeah, I guess I need to go out and get some "before" shots...

Looking forward to watching this grow

The VUE will be great for Charlotte. Point of Clarification. They do not own the land yet. They have until January 15th, 2007 or before to close on the dirt. Nothing has been started for the closing yet, but expect legal council could close something like this in 10 biz days, not including the xmas holiday and new years.

And don't forget the Wachovia project. Even though the new Wachovia tower will only be in the 40 range, it will still be pretty close in height to 210 Trade and The Vue.

Actually the Wachovia Tower should be the 2nd tallest in CLT. The VUE and 210 will be around the height of the 46 tower Hearst tower (or just under 700ft). The new WB tower will be just under 800 feet at 45-46 floors.

I am not knocking The VUE or 210. I love them both . Considering the fact that we will have 2 condo towers the height of the Hearst is pretty freggin' amazing.

I pray you're right but you know what they say about counting chickens.

[RiverwoodCLT]

WB tower is now 48 floors.

Like A2 said, WB will actually be the second tallest overall. This is due to the differences in floor size between residential (Vue and TTT) and LEED (WB.) So, even though the total floor count is bigger on the condo towers, they will in fact be shorter.

Won't the elevation of Tryon Street make that tower appear even larger than these other two from a distance also? I don't know how much of a drop there is, but it is definitely a good bit down from Tryon to the TTT and Vue sites.

^ i thought bradley89 was referring to the wachovia condo, even though he said tower?

*also, can anyone confirm what nvq posted? i thought that the land purchase was complete....

I can't confirm it with certainty....but I believe what he said is true. I know terms had been reached with all parties, but I don't think the closing had occurred yet. That said, its not unusual for the developer to wait until the last moment to buy the land before beginning construction, so I would't be at all skeptical of this thing starting very soon.

[atlrvr]

The Vue now how has its building permit for its foundation. They've already paid about $65,000 for it, so I say that's yet another sign that they are moving forward.
