Developer Roy Carroll has purchased property across the street from NewBridge Bank Ballpark for his towering 561 foot tall mixed-use skyscraper. The contemporary 28 story tower would sit on top of an 8 story parking deck and have a spire at the top pushing the height to 561 feet, the tallest in North Carolina outside of Charlotte. The tower would include street level retail, class A office space and a boutique hotel. The tower site also sits across the intersection from Roy Carroll's Bellemeade Village project, currently under comstruction. That project includes four 6-story mid-rise buildings spanning two blocks and will include 300 luxury apartments, roof top pools and a Hyatt Place hotel.
Carroll stated the tower could still be built next to his 16-story Center Pointe condo tower and the site he just purchased could have a scaled downed development with retail, parking and office.
Several small and large potential tenants are interested in leasing office space in the tower but he is currently looking for an anchor tenant which would purchase naming rights. Roy Carroll has had six meetings with various potential tenants, even showing them designs of the building with their corporate logos. "we've put a number of marquee logos on the side of our buildings" "i've got a whole secret file of renderings with different marquees on the side of the building"
