Paperwork filed with the City of Raleigh for another 10 story office tower next to the new One Glenwood office tower going up at the corner of the Glenwood South District.
The paperwork shows some very interesting street level features like a retail 'container city' and a tower-shaded alley between it and the other tower.
Admittedly being too lazy, I’m trying to remember how that end of Glenwood was developing. Wasn’t there a hotel and parking deck going to be attached to One Glenwood? Then if I’m remember right....wasn’t there a hotel planned for across the street as well? So where will this sister tower go?

Not attached but across the street by the train tracks will be the hotel and parking deck. Two Glenwood will be west of One Glenwood on the same block. It will require demolition of several buildings.
It was a classic fight: A developer who wanted a taller building versus homeowners who complained about density and traffic disrupting their neighborhoods.
On Monday, the developer won, with Charlotte City Council voting 10-1 to approve a 20-story office tower near the Cherry and Elizabeth neighborhoods. Council member LaWana Mayfield was the sole "no" vote.
The plan, which also includes a 240-room hotel, would bring the new development to a block bounded by Third and Fourth streets, between Baldwin Avenue and Queens Road. At 299 feet, the tower would be one of the tallest buildings outside the Interstate 277 loop.
The fight over the tower could foreshadow future conflicts in a mostly flat city that's growing taller. Outside of a few dense clusters in uptown, SouthPark and Ballantyne, few buildings rise above five or six stories in Charlotte, and much of the city's nearly 300 square miles is occupied by single-family houses. But taller developments are seeping into nearby areas, such as three eight-story office buildings underway in South End, and a 165-foot-tall residential tower is planned adjacent to the Design Center of the Carolinas.
It looks a little secluded from people and hemmed in by train tracks and a freeway. Sorta like NC Music Factory is uptown but pretty much an island unto itself.

What’s the actually structure going to look like?
Its actually going in the highest demand part of downtown right now. Theres a lot of residential north from where this picture is taken. Glenwood is just a couple blocks over. Couple of residential towers
to the south as well. Lots of action on that side of downtown. The demand is so high in fact that there is also plans to put a Harris Teeter in Seaboard Station just a few blocks away as well.
Weaver Street Market is a smaller but local grocery store that will be opening up in The Dillon to serve more residences on that side of town.
Peace at West is 11 stories with 417 apartments
