A redesign is in the works for the base of the Bank of America Plaza tower, which sits at Trade and Tryon streets. Charlotte architectural firm Redline Design Group is seeking city approval for a redesign of the 40-story tower's base to bring in a restaurant and retail tenants. According to city records, the scope of work includes a possible new facade to the building's base, a new lobby, as well as new restaurant and retail entries and seating areas.

The tower, built in 1974 and renovated in 1992, already offers access to the Overstreet Mall and 20 on-site shops and restaurants. Charlotte Center City Partners and other groups have been calling in recent years for more street-level retail and restaurants in uptown Charlotte.

Ain't a real city until you have a department store. Right now Uptown residents have to catch the Free Line out to the end to shop at the Target.
Shop at Target ? Big Woo on that one.
"The existing fountain in the plaza could be converted to restaurant space."
Good grief, that would be one tiny restaurant. That would be Mert's II, a restaurant that needs to be in a space twice the size. The wife & I never go to Mert's anymore because it's imposible to navigate her wheelchair among the tables all crammed up against each other.
The abandoned bank branch, however, would make for a very nice restaurant. A reincarnation of Pizzaria Uno would be nice.
