The skyline of Uptown Charlotte is slowly changing and we are becoming a big city. There are many urban walkable areas and there are about to be more of them. Projections estimate Uptown will be adding almost 2,500 residential units, 2 million+ square feet of office space, 300,000+ square feet of retail, and at least 4 hotels, and that’s just Stonewall Street!
We at New Angle Realty are really excited about the these upcoming projects Uptown, especially the Stonewall corridor. Here are some details about some of the projects already underway and some that will break ground soon.
Crescent Stonewall Station
Crescent Stonewall Station is currently under construction with an expected completion of 2018. This community will be anchored by a 47,000 square foot Whole Foods. There are also 459 luxury apartments, a lynx light rail station, and two hotels. Amenities will include an invisible-edge salt water pool, fully-fenced and gated dog park, roof terrace, and fully outfitted fitness center with yoga room.
615 South College
615 South College is a 370,000 square foot office tower. We aren’t excited about this one for living in, but rather for it being a great working space. It is designed for LEED Gold certification for green building. This one is finishing construction now and should be ready in March.
Montage (working name)
Construction should begin in February on Montage. The plan calls for 302 apartments and 11,000 square feet of ground floor retail with a full parking deck. Montage is located on Stonewall Street at Davidson Street. The plans also show a pool and amenities deck. Completion should be sometime late in 2018.
550 Stonewall (working name)
Northwood Ravin’s project includes a 20 story tower (143 units) and a separate 4 story building (278 units) for a combined 421 luxury residential units. Amenities will include an exercise deck, 4th floor dog park, and rooftop bar. An elevated pool and lounge deck will also be available for residents. Many other luxury amenities are planned including a golf simulator, 24 hour concierge, and 8,000 square foot fitness center.
620 South Tryon
This is the old Charlotte Observer property at the corner of Tryon and Stonewall currently in the planning stages. The plans call for multiple phases including a 1 million square foot office tower with ground floor retail. There is speculation about the other phases of the project. Plans have not yet been released, but are likely to contain retail, additional office space, housing, and hotel space.
Brooklyn Village
Brooklyn Village is also still in the planning/negotiation phase. Current plans call for 1,070 residential units with 107 affordable workforce units. 170 condominium units, 680,000 square feet of offices, 250,000 square feet of retail, a 130-room boutique hotel, a 150-room extended stay hotel, and 4,000 square feet of cultural space round out the plans.
Tryon Place
Tryon Place is a massive undertaking by Crescent Communities. It sits on the site of the old Goodyear Arts building at Stonewall and Tryon. This mixed-use project will include an office tower, hotel and retail. This will service and employ many of the residents expected to live in the many other projects.
