CHARLOTTE, N.C. (May 5, 2015) — The Charlotte City Council has unanimously approved a rezoning request that will permit a new mixed-use development on 188 acres the Rea family owns at the intersection of Providence and Ardrey Kell roads in south Charlotte.

 Lincoln Harris is serving as an advisor to the Rea family during the development process and will partner with the family to develop the office and retail components of the project. Construction of the development is slated to begin early next year.

The rezoning request technically covered 194 acres, as it encompassed a six-acre plot featuring 50,000 square foot of existing office space that will remain unchanged.

“We have listened carefully to the comments and wishes of the surrounding residents and the city of Charlotte,” said Johnny Harris, president and CEO of Lincoln Harris.

 “First and foremost, the Rea family wants this property to be a benefit to the community, and the site plan is a response to what we heard from the public, which, in part, is a desire for more work options in the area, more opportunities for shopping and dining, and more classroom space.”

The new 188-acre development, located on what was once the site of the Charlotte Golf Links complex, will encompass up to 200 single-family homes, up to 650,000 square feet of office space, up to 250,000 square feet of retail and up to 500 multifamily housing units.
