so they would open the entertainment complex before they opened the tower?

I'm hoping they are able to market this enough to get some viable tenents to sign. I would LOVE to see something happen in Charlotte like what Indianapolis has downtown with their Circle center mall. (about all Indy has going

I would still love to see a HRC come to charlotte, I've been waiting forever, and I think now would be the perfect time with the arena opening up right there.

about all Indy has going

Agreed, outside of a mall Indy sucks.

nostyle · February 19th, 2005, 07:34 AM

Naptown you amaze me. One mention of Indy in this long thread and you're right there to comment on it. Do you run a search on "Indy" every night?

As for the project, I don't care much for HRC. They're overrated. I'd like an ESPNZone, although even they are becoming all too common.

Wu-Gambino · February 19th, 2005, 07:41 AM

No, I just click on random threads.

SChristopher · February 19th, 2005, 07:44 AM

I really didnt understand that... I guess you were either being sarcastic, or really like malls? And I didnt understand the post before if you wanted all Indy has going for it in Charlotte or if you are claiming that all Indy has going for it is Circle Center? I am so confused.

CLTfanatic · February 19th, 2005, 08:16 AM

I was simply saying that I liked how Indianapolis has revitalized their downtown area with the Circle Center mall.

Uptown will be ready for the return of retail before long, and when it is ready you'll know it, because retailers will start popping up left and right the way condo towers are right now. It will be a retail boom...when the time and marketplace is right.

Hard Rock Cafe's are a dime a dozen now. While the name recognition is nice, I don't think Charlotte needs to lean on that kind of franchise... at least not downtown. I don't see many people proudly showing off their "Hard Rock:Charlotte" t-shirts.

Using Orlando as a gauge, I would have to agree with your prediction. We're just a tad further down the road than you guys with our condo towers. And at present, we have a good 300 to 400 - thousand sq. ft. of retail u/c or planned, including a cinema complex which is u/c.

nostyle · February 20th, 2005, 07:34 AM

See, there you go. Dale, how many residents call downtown Orlando home right now?

norm21499 · February 23rd, 2005, 05:21 AM

With all of these new towers that will be built soon with ground retail, the retail landscape upton will be changing almost drastically by sometimes next year when all of the major condo towers are completed.

atlrvr · February 23rd, 2005, 06:04 PM

Unfortunately I still think we will see mostly restaurants as the primary retail tenants......also some more nail salons, dry cleaners, convenience stores.......these basic retailers will continue for a few more years......i see more diverse retail to occur along Brevard St once Levine finally gets going.

uptownliving · March 9th, 2005, 07:34 AM

atlrvr, I agree...I still think any type of "Gap" type of retail is a few years out at least. I think they want to see some of these condo towers completed and people moved in before we get any retail of that type.

That being said...what could speed that up is if we get this new NASCAR Hall of Fame which will add a ton of tourists to downtown.

YEE HAW! [/I]

My response:

My guess is that you pride yourself on being an "open-minded" person.

My guess is that you have neglected to investigate the automotive engineering that is the basis NASCAR.

My guess is that you look down upon anything even remotely related to "The South".

My guess is that you're relegated to your hospital room and are occasionally allowed to spew incoherent nonsequiturs.

Ultimately, I don't think that hosting NASCAR is negative. I hope that Charlotte proudly pursues this project.
