The first building in this mixed-use development introduces a balanced, contemporary presence to the growing corridor between Charlotte and Concord. Ground-floor commercial spaces are designed for flexible retail and service uses, featuring generous storefront glazing, accessible entries, and clear sightlines to support active street life. Upper-floor residential units prioritize daylight, efficient layouts, and private outdoor space, offering one- and two-bedroom options that meet the needs of professionals and small households drawn to the area’s expanding employment and amenity base. Thoughtful material choices and scaled massing respond to the neighborhood context while projecting a durable, modern character. With dedicated on-site parking, and pedestrian-first connections to future phases, the building establishes a practical, community-minded standard for the development to follow.
