The city limits are further out there but the city is not growing. Charlotte just builds the same housing development and shopping center over and over and calls it growing.

The Big Boxes will close in the old shopping center and re-open in the new shopping center. Thats not growing.
you are a dark cloud... lol.

Charlotte is growing, you may not like the way it is growing but it is definitely growing.

The condos being built are ugly but it's definitely a growing city.

Eastland Mall was a generic shopping center before and it closed, why would they put another one there? It may be a shopping center but if so it will need to cater to the existing population which isn't the traditional big box stores.

What will the EpiCentre hotel look like? Here it is with details.

This project just skyrocketed on my list of projects to be excited about. Not only are we getting plaza space on the ground floor, but also retail. And we are getting not one but two bars, one of them being 300 feet in the air. These will not be your standard hotel bars either, AC Hotel’s are very modern and these bars will cater to locals and guests. Stay tuned as more details come in.

Rendering via Winford Lindsay, BB+M Architecture and McKibbon Hotel Group. Have development scoops or feedback? jason.thomas@charlotteagenda.com or @jasonthomasclt

Funny! I except that title.
I'll change my username to "The Dark One"
I have lived or visited cities all over the world. Some third world countries and some the wealthiest. I have seen places that are filled with trash and some you could eat off the streets.
I have developed many opinions of what has character and what is generic. This is my outlet to voice them.
