List of tallest buildings in Charlotte

edit

Self-nomination. Another tallest building list, modeled after FLs such as List of tallest buildings in Tulsa and List of tallest buildings in San Francisco. I have been working with two other editors, Alaskan assassin and Hydrogen Iodide, to bring this list up to FL standards, and I think it is finally there. I believe it to meet all FL criteria, in that it is comprehensive, stable, well-referenced, well-organized, useful, and complete. As always, any concerns brought up here will be addressed.

  • Comments:
    • Only one mention of First Union is given, when prior to the merger, three towers downtown were part of First Union Center; I unfortunately don't know which of the new ones were the old ones, though, because there was also an existing Wachovia building, so I don't know how the numbering changed. I think these former names should be noted just as One First Union is noted.
    • I know there's probably nowhere to put this, but it does seem ever-so-slightly interesting to me that Hearst Tower was the first building built outside of the decades-long bank pissing contest; it marked the first time since 1971 that the two tallest buildings weren't named after banks.
      • Yes, I really don't know where to put that. The Hearst Tower (although not named after a bank) was constructed and is owned by Bank of America anyway... But that is interesting. If you can think of any place to add it (I don't think it would really be appropriate for the table, and I don't see where to put it in the lead), I will add it. -- Rai-me 01:51, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Is "proposed" only for future ones, not past ones? I ask because Four First Union was once proposed as one of the tallest buildings in the world...
    • There's a discrepancy. The main table shows Two Wachovia (built 1971) at 132m, taller than 200 S Tryon (built 1961) at 91m. However, the timeline table shows that 200 S Tryon remained the tallest in the city until BoA Plaza was built in 1974. According to the main table, it lost that title in 1971. Please clear this up.
    • That's all for now. Hope to see this one make it! --Golbez (talk) 01:33, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Out of curiosity, how tall is Bank of America Stadium? When I've driven through Charlotte, that always seemed to be rather tall. JKBrooks85 (talk) 06:11, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support Wasen't 121 west trade the first non bank building? Alaskan assassin (talk) 04:01, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support, there's probably detail missing but since I'm a [former] resident that nags at me more than it should, on its own it looks like a good list. :) now to get around to making an article on Four First Union... --Golbez (talk) 05:48, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support Another nice list. Criteria met. -- ṃ•α•Ł•ṭ•ʰ•Ə•Щ• @ 20:12, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support Great list, keep up the good work. VerruckteDan (talk) 02:23, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
