There's no questioning Charlotte's prominence as a
New South city and one the fastest-growing urban hubs
between Atlanta and New York City.
Fueled by the boom in economic development and jobs
in financial services, banking, technology and retail
since the late 1980s, the city's physical landscape—
especially Uptown's majestic skyline—has been
reshaped to better accommodate the area where a
growing number of people live, work and play.
Dozens of Queen City skyscrapers boast world-class
public art, convenient amenities (free Wi-Fi anyone?),
shopping, entertainment and some of the city's best
eateries. What's more, many of them also provide
seldom-seen glimpses into Charlotte's fascinating past.
With offerings and background stories that far exceed
their business purposes, these seven Center City greats
tower above the competition.
