Uptown Charlotte has experienced a condo boom for the past several years, both new construction and renovation/conversion. One of the latest is a twenty-story condo building, named Encore, that will feature car elevators, which is said to be the first of its kind in the United States. Only twenty units will be available. Floor plans call for units ranging from 3,000 to 6,300 square feet and each will feature a private two or four car garage. An elaborate elevator system will bring cars up to the front door of the condo, how cool is that?!?!?!?!
Encore is located in Uptown Charlotte at 6th Street and North Tryon which is less than two blocks from Trade and Tyron which is Charlotte's Uptown center. Directly adjacent is the Hearst Tower and one block away is Bank of America Corporate Center. If you are a professional working in Uptown Charlotte this is the place to be! This area is full of entertainment too, with the Blumenthal Arts Studio, Belk Theater, Bobcats Arena, Panthers Stadium, and high-end restaurants and bars.

Teresa... Those will be decent size condos. The idea of parking cars in the building via elavator.. what a concept. I'd love to see it when it is done... any ETA on that?
How awesome is the theatre? Elvis? I LOVE it!
I love Charlotte. and most of North Carolina, where it's such a laid back area compared the hustle and bustle in New Jersey. A week down there is like a vacation for a month!
