The Vue

[BullDurhamer]

Its nice to see all the equipment on sight. Probably won't be too long before some tower cranes get on sight.

I think we all should write our local congressmen to have a webcam installed dedicated to this project.

Why would they put up a webcamera?

I happened to drive by this site last night on the way home and man is it bustling with activity now. It would be great if one of our UP photographers could snap a few pics

Wish I could. The reason I have been so slack is because my camera got fried. Gotta buy a new one.

^ Thanks RiverwoodCLT. That auger is huge! Courtesy of Windsurfer, I have some additional ones taken from his condo

Thanks to all for the pics. Looks like Trademark would be a good place to put a Vue webcam.

I'll try to start a web page with updated photos. It is a good angle.

Those guys are serious. They're usually already at work by 7:00 AM and work till around 8:00 PM.

The Vue is going to be a convent place to live. It has a grocery store across the street and a drug store the next block over. If you will look at all the residential properties around it, this should bring more retail in the area. Fourth ward is becoming a nice place to live.

That would be great!

You know, several months ago, I thought that 210 Trade and the Vue would both be built, but that 210 Trade would be finished first. Even if 210 Trade still is completed first, it looks like it will be a closer race.

Thanks for the photo update. I was going to post from 2 nights ago when walking by how massive those cylinders are for the concrete foundations.

[Shakman]

FYI... They are called caissons. The building columns will tie into them.

The large tower crane will be going up in May, and the foundations and power are already in place for it.

Guys, the virtual tours on The Vue's website look Amazing!!! Check it out http://vuecharlotte.com/vue_content.html I'm pretty sure it's brand new on their website.

It's on the right side toolbar, just click 'Virtual Tour'

Fantastic find! I love the flybys and oh how much I would kill for that view when I woke up in the morning! Anyways by the flybys it looks like the vue will be only a little shorter than hearst.

Wow, that is pretty jawdropping. You can seriously see the dramatic nature of these condos and how the tower fits in with the skyline. They made such a brilliant move taking the risk to locate it outside of the Church-Tryon-College corridor. Very impressive!

I had really forgotten about a lot of the content of the project in all the thoughts about this project that deals with it as an entity. Now that it is coming out of the ground, and they are updating with this type of realistic imagery, it really makes a statement.

[HopHead]

My goodness, that's VERY impressive. No condo high rise in Charlotte has had the kind of "wow-ness" factor that this one does IMO. I only wish I could afford one! It will definitely be a recognizable icon in the skyline when it's complete, much like the flyover has shown.

WoW

That was an awesome tour, and I feel like the music was very fitting as well. I want one soooo bad, if only I had a job. Only 2 more years!

whoa..... felt like I just woke up from a hand glider dream. The tour gave me a good feel of the future skyline of this city. Now I'm itching and really can't wait for this thing to go verticle. Too bad TTT is on stall at the momemt.

Does anyone know if a pricing list exists for the Vue? I'm not going to buy one, but it would be nice to see how they are pricing the remaining units.

Good animation, but it's interesting that all the renderings of the pool deck are with late afternoon sun. In the first part of the day - even in the summer - much of the pool area will be in the shade.

I walked by the Vue this evening around 7pm to find several pieces of equipment still working and close to 10 construction workers on site. Many of the caissons have the rebar cages set and the concrete poured, but still no movement above the bottom of the hole yet ...

The report of the Vue being stalled is greatly exaggerated ...

What reports of The Vue being stalled? The ones from a month or two ago? We've seen nothing but continuous work now throughout April.

My bad. I misread an earlier post talking about TTT being stalled.
