24-story tower underway in Uptown Charlotte

This is the fourth tower at Legacy Union, the Uptown development that also includes the new 33-story Bank of America tower. Construction is expected to wrap up by the fourth quarter of 2024, developer Lincoln Harris said in a statement Tuesday morning.

Why it matters: The Uptown skyline is changing and this new all-glass tower will mark the latest addition to it. The growing Legacy Union development, which so far includes 1.5 million square feet of space, is somewhat of a connector between the Uptown core and South End.

Details: The new tower will have 20,000 square feet of ground-floor retail, parking, co-working spaces, a gym and terraces with outdoor access.

• Law firm Robinson Bradshaw has signed a lease for the top four floors of the building.
• Lincoln-Harris is partnering with Goldman Sachs Asset Management in developing the property.
• LS3P is the architect on the project and Gilbane is overseeing construction.

“In just a few short years, Legacy Union has helped create a dynamic gateway for Uptown Charlotte,” Lincoln Harris president Johno Harris said. “The building and the overall vision of Legacy Union is a tribute to the city of Charlotte – combining a great location and incredible partnerships in a thriving region.”

Of note: 600 S. Tryon is where the Charlotte Observer’s old newsroom previously was.
