Exciting New Developments Coming to South Charlotte!
Charlotte residents are buzzing with excitement following a recent announcement that promises to transform the area with a host of new retail, dining, and housing options. Yes, you heard it right! The Charlotte City Council has given a big thumbs up to a rezoning request that covers a whopping 115 acres at the intersection of Providence and Old Providence Roads—and it has residents like Edward Watson feeling hopeful.
A Vital Need for Affordable Housing
At the heart of this development is a commitment to affordable housing, which is something that Edward Watson, a longtime resident, feels is greatly needed in the area. “It makes sense. You know, I think that there is a need for, you know, low-income housing as well as, you know, apartments, single-family homes,” Watson passionately shared. It’s heartwarming to see the community’s needs being prioritized in this exciting new project!
What’s Being Built?
So, what can residents expect? Well, according to plans submitted by Horizon Development Properties, they’re gearing up to deliver up to 350 multi-family units on one side of the property. And that’s not all! On the other side, they intend to develop 70 additional units, with 50 of those being single-family homes. If that sounds appealing, wait till you hear about Northwood Ravin, which is set to bring in 650 apartments coupled with 95 single-family homes nestled just below the Horizon properties. Talk about a housing boom!
Shopping Galore!
But it’s not just housing that’s making its way to south Charlotte. Watson and his neighbors are also looking forward to the opportunity for more shopping right in their backyard. “Having more retail development in this particular area, I think, is certainly needed,” Watson expressed. There’s definitely a sense of excitement around the potential of being able to shop locally without having to drive to far-off areas!
Levine Properties Takes the Lead
Now, let’s talk about the biggest player in this development game—Levine Properties. They will manage the largest parcel of land, which will be thoughtfully divided into five areas. Residents can expect a mix that includes not just retail spaces but also office space and even a grocery store. Imagine having all your shopping needs met just a hop, skip, and jump away from home!
A Bright Future Ahead
As the plans unfold, it’s thrilling to think about the positive impact these developments will have on the community. More housing means less crowding and more choices for families looking to settle down, while the retail and grocery additions will surely enhance daily life for many residents.
Indeed, the future looks bright for south Charlotte! Residents are eager to see how these plans blossom into a lively hub where community, convenience, and quality living can thrive side by side. As each new phase of development rolls out, it’ll be fascinating to see how it shapes the landscape and enriches the community.
Keep your eyes peeled, south Charlotte! Exciting changes are just around the corner, and they promise to make your neighborhood even better!
