The Arlington
It was originally planned to be 425 ft (130 m) and 42 stories tall when announced in September 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 "The Pink Building", "Big Pink", “The Pink Lady” 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.
