It's not a new building. It's an old skyscraper that had been vacant but is now being reclad and converted into condos.

Curious response. Why is that nice?

well its better for this to look like a new building as opposed to a poorly recladded building. Zodiac isnt the first person that thought this is a new building...but you know what, it might as well be new since the only thing that remained intact with the Wachovia Building was the steel frame.

One thing I did observe is that the materials and colors used on Center Pointe looks very similar to the Bellemeade Parking deck next door

Yeah that blding confused me! Thought it was new but the renovations (sp)
should be nice.

Its a shame that people are being fooled into thinking this is a new building, when it is in reality a 40-year old superstructure of a 1960s modernist box.

Ironically, just behind this building at the corner of Friendly and Greene is another very early tall building for Greensboro built in the 1920s. It had a classical facade which was considered ugly and out-dated in the 1970s when it was reclad with a reflective glass facade. Time does not treat reclads very well.
