We finally have a glimpse of plans for the office tower that’s going in the hole in the ground that used to be the Charlotte Observer building.
Remember, this is the major project that’s expected to have 1 million square feet of office space, about 27,000 square feet of ground floor lobby and retail, and open space.

The plans envision a “pedestrian promenade” on the Mint Street side, with parking included inside the building.
Note that these images aren’t final and there are lots of “future development” spots still on it.
Stay tuned.
