I'm really surprised it took as long as it did for Charlotte to get its first Whole Foods. Didn't it just open up in the last 3 or 4 years? The Triangle has had many, for geez, 20-30 years or more.
I'm guessing that this is just a new branch of Anthropologie? I'm so not a shopper, but that seems like a Charlotte store. I forget if it's Anthropologie or Abercrombie that spritzes their clothes with scent. Had to go out to Southpoint mall the other week to shop for clothes for my teen to wear to a wedding and the stores just reeked. She wouldn't set foot in either one. She's not much of a shopper, either.
There's a bunch of new development in the works in Chapel Hill. Hard to keep up with it all and folks aren't happy about all of it. Lots of letters to the editor today about Obey Creek development. The University is tearing down University Square this summer and building Carolina Square which will have a performing arts space and incubator among other things (Old University Square to host new performing arts facility | The Herald-Sun). In other developments, Village Plaza Apartments will go in between Whole Foods and the ABC store on Elliott Rd. They're working on MLK and Weaver Dairy. There's a proposal for a 10 story development on Rosemary Street near Breadmen's. They're tearing up dirt right an left around here.
I know Hollister does this too, and it does absolutely reek. I always walk on the opposite side of the store at any mall because I just can't stand that smell. My ex girlfriend dragged me in one one time in New Jersey and I had to put my nose in my shirt...sheesh. Lol.
$60M tire-testing facility to be rolled out in west Charlotte
Camber Ridge of Charlotte will test tires for automakers, the U.S. military and others.
Jim Cuttino finally has his financing for a $60 million tire-testing facility in Charlotte, six years after he came up with the idea.
Camber Ridge will open the research and testing center north of Charlotte Douglas International Airport and Cuttino, CEO of Camber Ridge, expects the facility to do its first tests during the second quarter of 2016.
Another bidder emerges for uptown land, but does its $15.1 million offer qualify?
Another bidder has emerged for a 3.76-acre city-owned property in uptown Charlotte, but the Charlotte City Council will have to determine whether the group’s $15.1 million upset bid qualifies.
A limited liability company called Morgan Bond Charlotte made the offer for the parcel at the intersection of Caldwell and Stonewall streets, says Tony Korolos, director of the city’s real estate division.
Morgan Bond is planning a mixed-use development at the uptown site that would include multifamily, retail and potentially a hotel, Korolos says. The company made its bid via email on June 9, but its $755,000 in earnest money arrived that afternoon after the 2 p.m. deadline. For that reason, Korolos says, City Council members must determine next week whether they will consider Morgan Bond’s offer a qualifying bid or instead accept the previous $14.15 million offer from Charlotte apartment firm

On Greensboro news, I seen on several websites that Greensboro could be getting the new tallest in North Carolina outside of Charlotte
Yes, Roy carrol, who is currently building the 7/8 story 4 acre Bellemeade village adjacent the downtown ball park is planning to build a 561 foot mixed used office building, and plans to start as soon as he has a major tenant lined up.
The building would surpass Raleigh's tallest tower(PNC plaza) by 23 feet.
Roy has been secretly changing downtown Greensboro for the last 10 years.
this was the last building he built.
Center pointe.
Center pointe II is also scedualed to be built, which is around 24 stories, which will be right beside the above tower.
Greensboro also has a 14 story wyndham hotel conference tower that will be going up soon.
With the plethora of midrise apartments and office buildings that have been built or are currently under construction,
Downtown Greensboro has been rapidly growing in secret in the last decade. But the cat is completely out of the bag now.
More about the tower, Apparently two designs have already been shown, One with Conventional straight walls, and one with modern esque Curved exterior.
