The Vue Condos in Uptown Charlotte has Stopped Construction.

The Vue Condos in Uptown Charlotte has Stopped Construction.  R.J. Griffin & Co., general contractor for The Vue, says construction has stopped at the 51-story condo tower in Uptown Charlotte due to lack of payment from the developer, MCL.  R.J. Griffin & Co. never received payment for July’s work.  As a result all subcontractors were asked to stop work effective immediately. 

MCL’s president was quoted as saying “we are working through issues with lenders right now and have confidence we will be able to finish this project.”  Many residents fear that the project will turn out like The Park Condos, which was recently purchased at a foreclosure auction. 

The developer claims that they are 55% sold in the building which has a total of 409 total units.  The units range between high 200s to high 2 millions.  If completed The Vue will be the nicest high-rise in Uptown Charlotte.
