$683 Million Development Coming To 17-Acre Section of Uptown

19682

brooklyn village charlotteMecklenburg County is continuing to move forward with the BK Partner’s plan to re-develop the former African-American neighborhood of Brooklyn Village in Uptown Charlotte’s Second Ward.

Second Ward’s historically African-American Brooklyn Village was demolished in the 1960s in a wave of “urban renewal,” and is now largely dominated by the city’s government quarter, sterile municipal buildings, empty plazas, and the largely unused Marshall Park.

The city has been in talks with 3 major development companies to see who can come up with the best proposal.

BK Partner’s plan won the contest – they will be paying $33.7 million for the land, and investing a total of $683 million for the entire development, which will include;

1,243 homes — 85% apartments (w/ 107 affordable apartments) – 15% condos, totaling 1,187,000 square feet (51%)

680,700 square feet of office (29%) – including “iconic” 22-story office tower

252,100 square feet of retail (11%)

185,500 square feet of hotels (8%)

3,700 square feet of cultural (0.16%)

1.9 acres of park and open space

2,312 parking spaces

Here are some renderings of the finished development:
