I walk by pretty frequently. There always seems to be one or two guys there, but the progress I see is painfully slow.

There are workers at the to be brewery doing stuff almost every day. But it is kinda like watching paint dry. Or like watching 615 Peace. You get the idea.

They completely rebuilt the West wall of the warehouse last month. Recently they added new gutters, and theyāve been tearing up the concrete just outside the south wall over the last week. My guess is that they keep running into surprises.

The inside of the space has moved along quickly - theyāve got walls up, the bar is pretty much built (not finished), etc. If you go look through the windows it basically looks ready to go on the interior.
Windows, garage doors, etc have all been replaced. Not too much more to do for a brewery inside a warehouseā¦ Iām curious what the plan is for the exterior space, and if that terrible cell tower will leave once the lease expires. Let the Fairweather lease some antenna space on the roof to SBA and help pay those high HOA fees!!

This was actually discussed at The West to generate additional COA revenue but it will be a cold day in hell before thereās any luck getting The Fairweather to vote in approval for cell antennae on the rooftop. I wouldnāt support it. We did our best in the inaugural year of finances to ensure we were putting our best foot forward with budget planning for decades to come. So unless that plan falls apart for some unpredictable reason(s), that wonāt be happeninā.
There have been informal discussions about things like wind and solar power generation but that too would be a bit of an uphill challenge (different considerations from cell from a finance/revenue perspective obv).

I sure hope theyāre planning on building some fun activities to do in the warehouse once youāre in thereā¦ only so many āempty warehouse brewery where you can go ā¦ drink beerā places can pop up in one city before everyone gets bored as sh!t with themā¦

Honestly I come for the dogs as much as the beer. Coincidentally I have 2 dogs (that donāt go to breweries) and no kids, so I recognize my bias.

I donāt think this is considered the depot but lots of work taking place in this building behind it. Anyone have any insight into what they are working on or maybe itās just a update?

Noting this ārumorā from a couple weeks backā¦

Itās a rumor, but I checked the permitting portal, and it clearly says Legends is the business that applied for the permits. So the rumor seems pretty strong.

I had heard Legends relocation from a good source

Not being immediately adjacent to housing seems like a good place for a loud bar.
It would also seem to me that this location may help the business at The Berkeley around the corner and activate some of the other storefronts there.

Agree. We need to spice up the neighborhood. Now that the homeless are gone, it is a bit quiet over here. Not a complaint. Just an observation.
The Depot remains the best connector to the Warehouse District, and anything that can help it on the south side on Cabarrus should help strengthen that connection.

Did the soup kitchen get relocated?
