That is the Watermark office building, developed by Tuscan development. I don't know what the tenant mix is. Here are all the photos I could find:

It has a great location overlooking the Sugar Creek greenway, but also looking at some ugly power lines. I wish those could be buried as part of the greenway project.

Well done.

So what is going to happen with this old building if the museum is building a new one?

Great looking city. I've driven by on the Interstate but didn't have time to stop, hopefully I'll get to visit soon.

I thought the Mint Museum on Randolph Road was moving into the new building and the Mint Craft + Design Museum would remain in its present location?

Great skyline, great photos...

No, it is the other way around. The current Tryon St. location is being given back to Bank of America.

Great thread. Looks like Charlotte is doing well.

Best downtown CLT thread I've seen. Please post more like this in the future.

Well done & thanks a lot for the captions. It's not easy for us out-of-towners to know what is what.

Back when I lived in "The Triangle", I once spent a night inside the Discovery Place Museum when I was in elementary school. B of A Tower has such a beautiful crown.

Really like the TOD around the LR stations. Phoenix could learn many lessons from Charlotte. The best photo thread of Charlotte for sure!

Your photos are so fantastic they make me want to up and move to Charlotte! To me, that's always the sign of a good photo thread. Thanks for sharing!

I asked him about the sandals, he says they became popular with the bike messengers because it allows their feet the breath. They are Shimano and have cleats on the bottoms to keep him clipped in.
