One of Uptown Charlotte’s most high-profile and troubled entertainment districts is about to hit the market, again. The complex now known as Queen City Quarter, formerly the EpiCentre, is expected to be listed for sale again in the coming weeks.
Washington, D.C.–based CWCapital is preparing to market the property at 210 E. Trade St., according to commercial mortgage-backed securities loan documents.
The property is currently owned by Deutsche Bank, which foreclosed on the complex in March 2022. The bank later purchased the property at auction for $95 million as the sole bidder.
Developers previously attempted to reposition the aging nightlife hub into Queen City Quarter, a walkable mixed-use destination focused on restaurants, retail, and public gathering space.
However, efforts to revive the site have struggled, and multiple redevelopment attempts over the past decade have failed to fully restore the complex’s former popularity.
Now, real estate brokers are hoping upcoming sale could give a new owner the chance to breathe life back into one of Uptown Charlotte’s most recognizable properties.
