Montford has been a hotspot in Charlotte for a while now. There is much to love about this community. From dining to shopping to nightlife, Montford has it all and is close to Uptown too.
Now Crescent Communities is developing a project to build 337 apartments and 17,000 square feet of retail space at the corner of Park Road and Mockingbird Lane. The project is expected to be completed in 2019 and will be called Crescent Montford Park.
The site has long been the home of Pfeiffer University’s Charlotte campus. The 5-acre site was bought from the university on June 30th. A grading permit was issued last month so they are set to clear the site and prepare for building. The site was rezoned last year to allow the mixed use development so there appear to be no hurdles left for building.
Crescent Communities says the project will be inspired by the surrounding community. This should especially be seen in the architectural design. Careful attention will be paid to the tenants who occupy the retail space to be sure they will benefit residents of the project and the wider neighborhood.
Units at Crescent Montford Park should consist of a mix of studios, one and two bedroom apartments. Size will range between 650 and 1,800 square feet. Pricing will begin in the $1,400’s.
Montford has seen a lot of change over the past few years. The revamp of Park Road Shopping Center has really grounded the area. The 1.5 mile extension of the Cross Charlotte Trail is also an exciting plan for the future.
Construction should begin the coming weeks, with both the retail and apartments available for lease in spring of 2019. If you are interested in a home in the Montford area, give us a call at (704) 525-4045. You can also view current listings on our website here.
