Charlotte Pipe and Foundry asks to rezone property

[Tbe]

One step closer....

 

The manufacturer is asking the city of Charlotte to rezone its 55-acre site to an “uptown mixed-use district.”

That zoning would allow for a range of uses, including retail, hotels, restaurants and stadiums. The site is one of the largest pieces of land available for development in and around uptown Charlotte.

What if the new stadium is only for the soccer team

Just now, TSLA said:

If Tepper move this team one day to SC, I will be done. Stay in Charlotte. 

Then you better hope he buys this site and builds his new stadium there. A new stadium will be built at some point and this is your best shot.

I like where it’s at right now. We don’t need a new stadium. 

I hate to tell you this but it's not up to us where it's built but make no mistake one is coming.  But will it be at a site near you?  Stay tuned for more after this commercial.

This location is directly across the street from the current stadium.

Pipe and Foundry is already committed to moving from that site. 

They’re just getting things ready to sell to Tep.

Will it be a stadium near me with Teddy Bridgwater playing QB or with a young true franchise QB? That’s the real question. I like your username. Pretty awesome.

You will have to tune in next season to find out.  Don't forget to drink your Ovaltine!

So that's the spot for the new stadium?

Wouldn’t be the end of the world.  Moving out of the Carolinas totally would be.

The families who own that land have a lot of snouts in the trough. 

Highest and best use of that land is to retain it, develop it, and collect the MASSIVE income stream it produces for the next 50+ years...feeds a lot of snouts.

Put another way, discounting those cash-flows back to a present-value would yield a number so large that even Tepper would balk.

If the families had any intent to flip the property to Tepper they'd have done so straight-away and let him deal with any zoning issues, etc...

...and if a new stadium is ever built within the Charlotte city limits it will probably be within the footprint of the existing facility.

There's nothing wrong with BOA.

It's a great stadium.

Dont know if y'all know anything about land or acreage, but 55 acres is about the size of a Food Lion and parking lot. A big Food Lion, but still, a small office park.

[Riverboat Ron]

What if the property is just for Deshaun Watson's pleasure palace?

[BrianS]

I suspect Tepper wants to turn BoA into a soccer / concert stadium and build a new stadium for the Panthers.  BoA is a great stadium, no doubt, but it seems clear that our front office wants to build.

He can build 12 stadiums for all I care. I don't like multimillionaires to ask for our tax money to do it though.
