Character

Adaptive-reuse warehouses house breweries, restaurants, and creative offices, while new high-rise apartment towers have made South End one of Charlotte's fastest-growing residential submarkets.

History

Originally developed around Southern Railway freight lines and textile mills in the late 19th century, South End's industrial buildings sat vacant for decades before redevelopment began in the 1990s and accelerated with the Blue Line's 2007 opening.
