Lichtin plans to build the first of seven office buildings at Toringdon, a $100-million, mixed-use community at Interstate 485 and the Johnston Road extension. The 93,000-sf structure is expected to be completed during summer 2001 at an estimated cost of $10 million.

The 50-acre Toringdon will also have 100,000 sf of retail space and 72 townhomes.

. Most notable of the mixed-use developments in the Charlotte area is the $240-million redevelopment of the old convention center, a project that has been plagued with delays since the city put it on the market in 1995. Berwyn, PA-based LCOR has been awarded the project.

Situated in the heart of Uptown, the three-acre project will comprise an $18-million parking deck for 1,500 cars; a $48-million, 220,000-sf retail area; a $74-million, 25-story, 507,000-sf office tower; and a $44-million, 250-room to 350-room luxury hotel.
