Note that this addition will be in the Historic District, next to the Community Arts Center on 2nd St, which is a very difficult place to build and has significant height restrictions.
These sorts of sites have some fundamental issues and they don't align with the US Census estimates.
For instance, the link estimates that Charlotte would add 19,138 in 2018, while the Census estimate for all of Mecklenburg wasn't even that amount in 2018. Cities cannot just continue to grow at either the same growth rates or same actual numbers year over year, ad infinitum. Charlotte's vast limits will run out of virgin developable land soon, if it hasn't already. The same is going to be true of Raleigh; it's not going to hit 488K in 2019. It probably won't hit that number in 2020 either, unless there's a sizeable annex (doubtful). Both cities will see slowing rates of growth and slowing actual growth numbers unless the go on massive urban housing booms, or massive redevelopment projects like are being seen in places like Miami.

Charlotte’s not going to run out of land by any stretch of the imagination anytime soon. Literally like. A huge, huge chunk in several areas of CLT are forest with a couple roads.

Every 10 years The US census ihas a census.. Any year between these these census years all population are an estimate. The US census uses an estimate between these years. In in 2020 we will get a more true figure.
So in 2020 we will all know what is the US Census figure for Charlotte & Raleigh.
.
The US Census will have their estimates for 2018 July 01, 2019.
In 2017 Charlotte estimated population by the US Census is 859,035.
From 2010 to 2017 Charlotte had population gain of 127,111 people by US Census. TThis is an average gain of 18,159
people a year. If Charlotte maintains this growth, it will be 913,2512
By 2030 I expect that Charlotte will be over 1,000,000
