Crescent Communities to Bring Uptown Charlotte its First Whole Foods Market

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Crescent Communities plans to develop a new mixed-use, transit-oriented project in Uptown Charlotte that will bring the neighborhood its first Whole Foods Market. The development will feature a 47,000-square-foot Whole Foods, a 450-unit luxury apartment community, two hotels and retail space. The project will be located on a 5.4-acre site at the Lynx Light Rail’s Stonewall Station. In addition to a raised, transit-level public plaza, the new project at Stonewall and Caldwell streets will include a resident-only outdoor amenities area atop the parking deck, which will feature a resort-style pool. Crescent will break ground on the new community on Stonewall Street this year and is targeting 2017 for its opening date. Bill Moseley of Moseley Real Estate Advisors represented Whole Foods Market in the lease transaction. Lord Aeck Sargent and Preston Partnership LLC provided site planning and design services for Crescent Communities, and Land Design is the civil engineer.
