Imagine stepping out of your home and catching a train in no time.
Amenities That Wow!
If you thought that was cool, just wait until you hear about the mind-blowing amenities at the 1427 site. Residents will enjoy a sparkling pool located on the 10th floor, where you can take a dip while soaking up the sun and enjoying fabulous city views. But that’s not all! The 31st floor will offer even more breathtaking sights—perfect for those Insta-worthy moments!
And for all the shopaholics out there, there’s more good news! There will be 5,000 square feet of retail space right on the ground level, so you can grab some essentials or enjoy a little leisurely shopping just steps from your front door.
What About the Second Site?
But wait, there’s also the second site at 3119 South Boulevard, which will feature 415 units. This spot is perfectly situated right between two rail stations, making it another fantastic option for future residents who depend on public transportation! Plus, it links directly to the Rail Trail, which is a great perk for those who enjoy walking or biking in the area.
The second site promises its own array of impressive amenities, including a state-of-the-art fitness center, another pool, and a fantastic sky deck. Just imagine unwinding up there after a long day, enjoying a cocktail while gazing out over the stunning Charlotte skyline!
Akridge’s Successful Footprint
Akridge has a solid history in the South End, having already developed popular projects like The South & Hollis, which features 310 units along with lively shops in Lower South End. They’ve also crafted The Hawkins Press, which offers 426 homes located conveniently close to offices and transit options. Clearly, Akridge knows how to play the location game!
Why We Love This Development
Dan Outen, who manages Akridge’s local operations, has been at the helm here in North Carolina for ten years. He focuses primarily on projects that are near rail stops and other walkable areas. This type of development is not just smart; it’s essential for a growing city like Charlotte. It allows residents the freedom to easily hop on public transportation or stroll to nearby amenities without the hassle of driving.
In Conclusion
As we look forward to seeing these stunning towers rise, it’s clear that Akridge’s commitment to enhancing the Charlotte South End community is paving the way for a vibrant, accessible, and pedestrian-friendly neighborhood. Keep your eyes peeled, folks! With move-in dates on the horizon, the South End of Charlotte is poised for even more growth and excitement.
