Big developments are in the works for Charlotte neighborhoods from Uptown to South End.
Katie Peralta Soloff provides a roundup of the most important developments coming to Charlotte in 2022. Some highlights:
- A medical school campus and 'innovation district' that will include apartments, retail, and the city's first four-year medical school, which officials hope will create thousands of jobs.
- A $400-million development on the site of the old Strawn Cottages with 145 affordable housing units.
- A 30-story apartment building in the city's gentrifying South End.
- The massive development slated to replace the Midnight Diner and Uptown Cabaret, "situated in a crucial spot connecting Charlotte’s central business district (Uptown) with an area that’s rapidly becoming one of the hottest office submarkets in the nation (South End)."
