Carroll's sky-high vision
Roy Carroll II plans to break ground on the new Center Pointe project in the old Wachovia high-rise on Sept. 7.
If he can stand still long enough.
No sooner had he sealed the deal on his purchase of the old Wachovia tower than Carroll struck again, confirming he wants to buy county land on Eugene Street. And again, going after a lot on Battleground Avenue near Green Hill cemetery for an undetermined project.
The downtown county site currently houses tax department and social services offices.
Carroll is obviously bullish on the momentum downtown and feels good about his presells on the Wachovia building, which will be remodeled into residences and offices.
Carroll is nothing if not ambitious -- and optimistic.
He has, stashed away, an artist's conception of the second phase of Center Pointe that might one day go up in the lot beside the current building.
It's a 30-story tower.
