CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Crescent Communities has broken ground on the $33.6 million Alexander Village, a 63-acre mixed-use development in Charlotte's University Research Park. Phase I will include the construction of Crescent Alexander Village, a 320-unit apartment community on Senator Royall Drive, just south of Mallard Creek Church Road. Plans for Alexander Village also include a hotel, up to 75,000 square feet of retail and 250,000 square feet of office. Crescent expects to begin preleasing the apartments this fall and have the first units available for occupancy in early 2014.
