Encyclopedia
The Arlington is a 310 feet (94 m) tall skyscraper in Charlotte
, North Carolina
. It was completed in 2002 and has 24 floors and an outdoor swimming pool on the roof. It is the 16th tallest building in Charlotte, and is the tallest building outside of downtown. It was originally planned to be 425 ft (130 m) and 42 stories tall when announced in September of 1997, but it was scaled back because the developer was unable to secure the financing required to build a 425 foot (130 m) building.
Because the building is located outside the I-277
inner-loop, the apartments on the city-side of the building have a fantastic view of the Charlotte skyline.
A residential tower with some office and commercial space, The Arlington is well known because of its pink glass. Local nicknames include "Big Pink" and "Pepto-Bismol
." The actual color of the glass is "Desert Rose" or "6F2828". The color does not tint views from the inside.
The building is notable for being the location of Nikko's, a large modern sushi restaurant which is one of Charlotte's hottest night spots. The building is also the home of several current and former Panthers (NFL) and Bobcats (NBA) players.
