FNB Tower (Charter Square)

Aesthetic? Or does the building lack belief in God?

Ha! I need to proofread.

Auto-correct is my own worst enema.

I’m no internet spelling nazi. I just thought that one was humorous.

Apartments now leasing. Opening winter 2019.

Massive retail space. It’ll have to be a big box chain. Really wish more developments included some MUCH smaller storefronts so more locals wanting to try their hand at retail were more encouraged to jump in.

A tiny one enough for a coffee/snack shop would have be great especially now that Fayetteville street will add 300 new residents with this tower plus the office lunch crowd.

TedF · September 30, 2019, 7:22pm

Starbucks is directly across the street and La Crema is immediately next door.

Francisco · September 30, 2019, 7:27pm

Yes and hundreds of workers crowding every lunch spot on City Plaza Monday through Friday. As long as the rent is low enough to rely only on the lunch crowd only it will work.

I work next door and could use more cheaper eateries, the hell I’m paying $13 for a salad. Manhattan Cafe seems to be the only reasonable salad place right now.

TedF · September 30, 2019, 7:47pm

All the less expensive places have been closing down on or near Fayetteville St. Everything is now more expensive for lunch time fare.

Anyone else notice that fantastic skyline you can see from the pool deck in the prom video:stuck_out_tongue:? I know I haven’t been back in a while, but I had no idea Garner had grown so much!

They’re a little off on their opening date.

Mark · September 30, 2019, 8:06pm

I assume that space can be easily broken up. Alternately, I think CVS and their terrible hours could use some competition and competitors would use the whole space, being crammed in even.

Alan · September 30, 2019, 9:15pm

That space is less than half the size of a standard CVS or Walgreens. It’s really kind of an odd size.

Mark · October 1, 2019, 3:17pm

Any idea how big the Fayetteville street CVS is including backroom and pharmacy behind the counter??

Alan · October 1, 2019, 5:07pm

I don’t know. I do know that a standard one is around 15,000 square feet.

Kind of cool to see the stairs that lead from the Wilmington St sidewalk up to the plaza and Fayetteville St.

Nickster · October 8, 2019, 4:55pm

Any idea when they will put the FNB signage on the top of the building?

dtraleigh · October 10, 2019, 1:27pm

I can’t help but wonder if the new plaza here will be open space for programmed events, like before, or will it have planters and outdoor seating, like an extension of City Plaza. Or something else?!
