MATTHEWS, N.C. — Pappas Properties has broken ground on Cadia Matthews, an 82-acre mixed-use development in Matthews, a southeastern suburb of Charlotte.
Upon completion, the community will feature residential units, 85,000 square feet of retail space and 18,000 square feet of office space. Amenities at the development will include a wellness center, multi-modal paths, a community park with a performance stage and additional open space.
All residents will have access to the wellness center and other community amenities. Priority for the housing at Cadia Matthews will be given to first responders, teachers, active-duty and veteran military members, as well as those who work in Matthews.
“The foundation of Cadia Matthews is based on our commitment to providing wellness-oriented, residential master-planned communities that promote health through social, environmental and physical wellness,” said Tom Walsh, managing director of Pappas Properties.
Phase I of the project is currently underway and will comprise 45 single-family homes, 80 for-sale townhomes and 14 apartments. Additional residential space at the development will include active adult cottage homes and apartments, for-lease duplexes and market-rate apartments.
A construction timeline for Cadia Matthews was not disclosed.
Founded in 1999, Pappas Properties is based in Charlotte and has completed 14 master-planned and mixed-use developments. Other local properties developed by Pappas include Birkdale Village, Berewick Town Center, Sharon Square and Midtown.
