CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Construction cranes continue to rise up across uptown Charlotte's skyline as development takes shape at rapid pace.
The most recent project next to the Bank of America Stadium to get approval may be most ambitious yet.
City officials just approved the demolition of the old Charlotte Observer building, and the new project taking shape there is being described as the largest and most complex in uptown in decades.
The nine-parcel lot spans two city blocks and is part of an effort to revitalize the entire length of Stonewall Street.
The Lincoln Harris development firm is expected to build a massive mixed-use project on the site but the details are still being finalized.
The Stonewall Station project features a Whole Foods supermarket, apartments and two hotels, and it will all connect to the light rail system.
There are at least five other significant construction projects underway along the corridor, ranging from apartment buildings to office towers.
