History

Once home to mills and factories, South End languished for years until the opening of the Lynx Blue Line in 2007 sparked dramatic growth. Redevelopment through Charlotte’s brownfields program turned blighted sites into vibrant mixed-use buildings—blending industrial salvage with contemporary design.
