Would be great to see those tall towers start going up in South End. It would resemble downtown and midtown Atlanta's skylines merging into one.
There was a 3 tower development that was just announced featuring a 600+ ft tower just across 277. According to a very reliable source, adjacent to that site is another multi-tower development to have an office tower around 40 fl (400-500 ft). SouthEnd is actually pulling development from uptown and it's currently getting most of the tower development/proposals in Charlotte. There are 20+ high-rises/mid-rises in SouthEnd that are known that could happen now or in the future.
Superimposed rendering for the planned Carroll South of the Ballpark development in Greensboro. The project is to include a 20-story office tower, 12-story AC Hotel, conference space, retail and luxury apartments. (The AC hotel is not visible in the rendering from this perspective) the parking deck in the center of the development has already been built. The building configuration may end up changing due to the increase in the height of the AC hotel. The development will stretch an entire block south. On the far south end of the development site the city of Greensboro just approved to demolish an existing county building to make way for the project.
office tower and apartments portion.
You can see the already built parking deck which will be surrounded by the development. Developer Roy Carroll stated site work on the 12-story AC Hotel will begin first quarter 2022, the first phase of the project. It will rise a little taller than the F.N.B. Building. On the other side of downtown the Hampton Inn and Suites will open this month. Construction is also ongoing with the 12-story Westin Greensboro.

I wish that tower weren’t so boxy. How about some spires, domes, jaggedness?

Nice surprise!
I'd love to see more updates on the other NC cities more frequrntly.
Some pics from the Steven Tanger Center in Greensboro when I went to go see Wicked. I heard some people drove from Columbia, SC and even Atlanta to Greensboro just to see Wicked. Every night was a sold out crowd.

There is a staggering amount of towers currently either seriously rumored or officially proposed in Charlotte. I believe the current number is 58 buildings of at least 15 stories (most are 20-35 stories, and a few are 40+).

At that rate Charlotte could surpass Atlanta with its downtown and midtown skyline in terms of the number of towers. Atlanta does have a third skyline and that is Buckhead. Eventually we may see the same think happen with Charlotte in either the South Park or Ballantyne area. In any case Charlotte will firmly cement its status of having the biggest skyline in the state. I just don't see any other city in North Carolina ever having that many towers not even Raleigh. If it weren't for height restrictions, we'd probably see some 40 to 50 story towers in downtown Raleigh. But North Hills in Raleigh seems like its a hotter market than downtown at the moment.
There are some view angles that show Buckhead, Midtown and Downtown Atlanta as one skyline and its impressive. Looks Manhattan or Chicago like in terms of its overall distance. Ranking downtown skylines in the Southeast, Miami ranks number 1, Atlanta ranks number 2 and Charlotte ranks number 3.

Is it just my opinion, that I like Atlanta's skyline better than Miami? Miami IMO has too many highrises that look nondescript, vs. in Atlanta. And I also long liked Charlotte's skyline, too. Where even to this day and despite Nashville's highrise building boom, Charlotte's skyline is still clearly ahead of Nashville's skyline to me.
On a smaller NC city note, I like hearing about new buildings going up in say like Raleigh, Greensboro, etc. Also it's good to hear about new buildings going up in the less talked about cities, i.e. Wilmington. I liked seeing those pics of Greensboro's downtown too, and that proposed tower as well.
This reminds me, maybe I will once again bring up Wilmington, NC for a future post on the skyline comparison thread, over on the city vs. city board.
