A Chicago developer said Tuesday, 13 September 2022, that it has done away with plans for a third tower at its US$750 million project on the edge of South End. The two 40+-story towers underway will still make the project among Charlotte's largest. Riverside Investment and Development first announced the project in November 2021.

The three-acre (1.2-hectare) site sits at 1111 S. Tryon St. on the northern edge of South End leading into uptown, and is displacing the popular Midnight Diner, which will relocate. 

The Riverside site is a short walk to the Carson LYNX Blue Line station as well as the businesses and apartments of South End, which continues to see a lot of high-rise development. The Riverside project was going to include three towers: a 45-story, 750,000 square foot (69,677 square meter) office building, a 42-story apartment building with 350 units and a 300-unit apartment tower standing at 30 stories. Called Queensbridge Collective, Riverside held an unveiling for the project in March 2022.
