Any ideas on what will go on the lot beside the Arnold School of Health?
They haven't announced when construction will start.

Odds are that they still have architectural and engineering work to do, a bid process to go through, plus funding/pricing to work through. All of this takes time, and typically will come after approval, because there is no point in spending the time detailing a building that you may have to redesign. That should not take a year, but it will take time. I'm sure there is also an aim to open the building in the summer before school term begins. Thus, you would need to start construction at a certain time to have it end when you want (assuming all goes to plan). It's interesting to watch, and we are seeing significant cost increases in construction right. Patience. It's a nice building!

Well that sucks. I was in Charlotte a couple of weeks ago, and stayed at the Hyatt Place downtown. They had a kick-ass view from up top.

That is a good view, did you get any that capture the S Tryon area & Southend? I think Cdata has posted some good picks from the Sheraton Roof Top bar. But I agree, a roof top ar in the Vista would have terrific views of the skyline, Capitol, and USC.

If it started this spring it would be timed right. So if all this stuff typically comes after approval and takes time, why in other cities do they pop a building out of the ground after a month of approval? And a 15 story buillding shouldn't take a year to build and then do interior for it to be timed right.

Wait. In what city do they plan, get approval for, build, finish, lease and occupy a building within a year?

I can give you a few examples. Dallas, Austin, Houston, Atlanta, etc. And an example of a building in Dallas would be the Skyhouse at 23 stories. Proposed in October, U/C November, T/O May, Completion date mid July.
