 Completed in 2008, Metropolitan Midtown is one of the city’s premier urban mixed-use properties offering 170,589 square feet of office space and 171,644 square feet of retail alongside a 1,110-space parking deck.

 The project is located at 1111 Metropolitan Avenue and serves as the anchor for the Midtown / South End submarket.

 Metropolitan Midtown is a vibrant part of the neighborhood hosting a variety of lifestyle events that spur community involvement, including fitness events, movie nights, festivals, workshops and more.

With a location immediately adjacent to Interstate 277, the property offers easy ingress and egress for commuters and is a short drive to Charlotte’s central business district, Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte Douglas Airport and the affluent Dilworth and Myers Park residential enclaves.

 The JLL Capital Markets team representing the seller was led by Senior Managing Directors Ryan Clutter and Richard Reid and Senior Directors Chris Lingerfelt, Tom Kolarczyk, Hunter Barron and Zack Drozda.

 “Metropolitan Midtown is positioned within one of the most sought-after corridors for new development in Charlotte,” Clutter said.

“This area has experienced an unprecedented amount of new development, announcements, and investor demand in the last 24 months, driving rental rate growth and further tightening vacancy in the submarket.

 “We are very excited to see Northwood Investors transform this asset by utilizing their exceptionally strong experience and operating company platforms in the office, retail and development space,” added Lingerfelt.

 The financing efforts were led by JLL Capital Market’s Senior Managing Director Travis Anderson.
