Would be nice if Charlotte could get some traditional-type architect to break up all the modern blue glass boxes that are starting to prevail Uptown....something like the new AC Hotel in Spartanburg:
That is very nice.
The closest CLT is getting is the new courthouse and Grand Bohemian.

Yeah I like the new courthouse design.
Although it's not a highrise, the Grand Bohemian design is certainly a departure from the current blue glass standard but it's hard for me to tell what it will look like from the renderings. It just topped out and I'm waiting to see how it will turn out.
Charlotte’s first indoor skydiving facility opens Saturday.
Austin, Texas-based iFLY has invested roughly $10 million into that 5,300-square-foot building, says Trevor Thompson, its vice president of new tunnel openings.
This is iFLY’s first location in the Carolinas. Thompson says the Charlotte market can support the premium attraction with its demographic base and solid economy.
It is located at 7840 Lyles Lane in Concord, near Concord Mills.
The governor of SC and Gaston County really, really, really want light rail to CLT.
How odd.... Im Not sure light rail should go to either jurisdiction. Commuter rail? Yes. Light rail? Mmmm....
Light rail makes no sense to me outside of Meck. Co.
And according to the 2019 center city Charlotte report, as of 2018 uptown’s population is now 23,000. 116,000 workers. 5,583 hotel rooms. Uptown now has over 10,000 people per square mile.

I think that it would be nice for all NC cities to get something like this. Lovely design!!!

Impressive numbers for sure. Definitely contributes to Charlotte providing that big city vibrancy to it's core. Nice to see it crack the 10k people per square mile mark. That 10k ppsm threshold to me has usually been a good indicator of a 16hr downtown.
It'll be interesting to see how long it takes Raleigh to do the same. By the end of 2019 the estimated population density of downtown should be around 8k. But with nearly every project announced containing substantial residential numbers, I could see the jump into the 10k+ happening sooner then initially thought. Smokey Hollow and it's 3 phases alone should boost downtown 1k-2k people. Phase 1 with the Publix is supposed to have 417 units. Phase 2 which should start construction soon as everything is demolished for it, is supposed to add 280. And depending on the zoning granted, phase 3 could add anywhere from 400-700 units. With everything else announced I could see 10kppsm being cracked by 2022-23. Obviously Raleighs downtown physical size is smaller than Charlotte's, but it's nice to see the density of actual residents increasing all the same.
It would be interesting to see where the rest of NCs cities are as far as that goes but I can't seem to find great info. Idk if other posters of those cities could provide better sources just as a grant of my curiosity? I know there's a pretty good increase of people moving to the cores throughout the state.

Downtown Greensboro only has 2,683 people living downtown but we should see that number increase now that Carroll at Bellemeade is almost finished, as well as a residential project at South Elm. There are 13,739 people within a 1 mile radius of downtown.
Doesn't seem like much compared to Charlotte, but we're putting up positive numbers.

Ah thanks for that brochure PDF. I figured a local would have better insight on how where to look for a report like that. I've been struggling finding accurate numbers for anything outside of Charlotte and Raleigh. Do you know how many units Bellemeade is bringing? And yeah I've been following the Greensboro thread and the potential hotels are nice but it looks like some residential is also slowing starting to build.
