With a history anchored in manufacturing, textiles, and mining, the revitalization of South End began in earnest in the 1990s when Charlotte’s creative and entrepreneurial communities slowly began to migrate to the neighborhood. This growth took on a new pace with the 2007 completion of the LYNX Blue Line – North Carolina’s first rapid transit line – connecting South End to Uptown. In the years following, real estate developers and investors have poured billions of dollars into multifamily, retail, and office projects throughout the neighborhood, which has become the cultural epicenter of the region. While the volume of new construction has largely allowed for the massive influx of millennial residents and the companies recruiting them, it is the older warehouses and mill buildings dotting the area that have allowed it to retain its historic character.

Already home to a healthy mix of restaurants, breweries, and retailers, the completion of the Atherton Mill, RailYard, The Line, Vantage South End, and Design Center projects (among others) have further improved upon the alreadyabundant walkability of the neighborhood. As South End continues to become more desirable, look for more Fortunecaliber companies to follow in the footsteps of USAA, Ernst & Young, Lowe’s Home Improvement, Grant Thornton, WeWork, Lending Tree, Moody’s and Dimensional Fund Advisors – all of whom have moved into new offices in South End since 2019.

FreeMore West has emerged into a true live-work-play submarket over the past few years, as recent announcements have brought a surge of retail, residential, and office projects to the area. Situated only five minutes outside of Charlotte’s CBD, FreeMore West offers a convenient location with unparalleled access to I-77 and I-85. The submarket is driven by its historic character, and has retained its authenticity as the area is mainly focused on adaptive reuse conversions to creative office and retail space.

The heart of the FreeMore West neighborhood is generally considered to be the several blocks surrounding Thrift Road, Jay Street, and Tuckaseegee Road. Browder Group had an early vision for the area and has successfully transformed many of their single story buildings into food & beverage hotspots such as Counter, Pizza Baby, and Midnight Mulligan Brewing.

From an office perspective, Wray Ward planted their flag in the neighborhood by relocating their HQ here in 2020.

From there, developers such as Third & Urban, Abacus, and Portman Holdings have paired up with institutional groups including Angelo Gordon, Stockbridge and JP Morgan, as they recognize the opportunity in the submarket and have introduced projects that continue to bolster the office and retail supply. Local and national investors continue to be attracted to the emerging pocket, as it provides authentic and creative product at a slight discount to much of the new construction in South End.

2317 Thrift Road in FreeMore West has a storied past, owned by several different auto supply and repair companies before it was purchased in early 2019 by LPA Urban. The developer turned the old warehouse into Thrift Road’s newest and first creative office building, which was quickly leased by local advertising agency, Wray Ward as their Charlotte HQ. The 39,000 SF building serves as an early and pioneering example of the FreeMore West office submarket. Since then many developers both locally and from out-of-state have capitalized on the value of its phenomenal proximity to I-77, I-85, Uptown, South End and the airport. The building sold in late 2020 to Abacus Capital, Stockbridge, and Big Cypress Capital for $450 PSF.

Referred to by some as “Charlotte’s Next Great Neighborhood,” North End is still in the early stages of it’s transformation. Located just northeast of Uptown, the Music Factory, which opened in 2006 as a hub for concerts and entertainment, is undoubtedly the most established project in the neighborhood. A decade later, North End landed its first high-profile corporate tenant when fintech unicorn, AvidXchange, selected the Music Factory for its 200,000 SF headquarters building and future campus. Soon thereafter, NY-based real estate firm ATCO purchased 75 acres containing 1.2 MSF of vacant warehouses, now called Camp North End. City officials are focused on revitalizing the area and local developers have planned boutique adaptive reuse projects, however the large-scale success of North End will be driven by the continued development of Camp North End. The sheer scale and ambition of that project, as well as proximity to NoDa further north, will attract local business owners to Charlotte’s “newest frontier,” and likely those seeking relief from the rising prices of the more well-established neighborhoods.

True to the industrial nature of the existing buildings, the project offers exposed brick, timber, and steel with high-clear ceilings in each space. Restaurants, retail, professional services, and entertainment uses are onsite to service the hundreds of thousands of square feet of office space. Office tenants include M+A Architects, Centene, TowneBank, Junior Achievement, Ally Financial, Best Impressions and Hygge Coworking. Retail includes Free Range Brewing, award-winning Leah & Louise, local artisan shops, and many food stall-style restaurants. Dubbed the creative hub of the city, Camp North End has gained traction through its recurring public events and integration with Charlotte’s artist community. The next phase of Camp North End is currently underway and will bring in more adaptive reuse space, as well as new construction and residential development.

Originally built as a village for textile mills and worker housing, the NoDa neighborhood is arguably Charlotte’s most culturally distinct. Starting in the early 1990’s, the historic and unassuming style of the neighborhood began to attract a heavy concentration of artists, musicians, and the city’s creative class – eventually leading to NoDa’s recognition as Charlotte’s “Arts District.” NoDa is still flush with the very same mills, warehouses, and retail buildings that were the livelihood of the area dating back to the early 20th century.

Development in NoDa had largely been overlooked by capital until the Blue Line Light Rail extension began to materialize in the mid-2010s. NoDa is Charlotte’s next great cultural hub – a densely-planned, walkable neighborhood rich with character and amenities, and just a short drive to Uptown.

The submarket has long been blessed with some of Charlotte’s best restaurants and entertainment venues and has recently seen an explosion of multifamily development along the Light Rail. While commercial office and larger retail developments have been a step behind, the projects that are underway or planned in the submarket will bring the needed critical mass to this well positioned pocket of Charlotte. With Optimist Hall as a proven success, the eclectic NoDa neighborhood will continue to flourish as commercial development progresses.

Built as a streetcar neighborhood in the early 20th century, Plaza Midwood has long been a healthy and diverse residential area complemented by a strong retail and entertainment district that gives the neighborhood its famously “funky” feel. Unlike South End and NoDa, where growth has largely been driven by public transit, development in Plaza Midwood is more a product of a robust, walkable retail landscape and the broader urbanization trend taking hold throughout the U.S. While multifamily and retail projects have typically dominated the headlines, new office product has gained recent traction.

While still in its infancy, the Plaza Midwood office market has steadily become more and more popular without showing signs of slowing down. Although not yet fully established, Plaza Midwood is poised to become one of Charlotte’s more desirable submarkets for both traditional office product and adaptive reuse, alike.
