Located at 1009 N. Caldwell St., Alexan Optimist Park is positioned in a premier live-work-play environment in the heart of the Mill District, a former textile manufacturing area that underwent a revitalization to expand its urban footprint.
The community is just a few minutes from Uptown, Charlotte’s
downtown area employing over 116,000 people, NoDa, the city’s Historic Arts
District, and the trendy Optimist Hall, with over 20 food stalls.
Due to Charlotte’s recent office development boom, investors
have become increasingly interested in Uptown’s nearby up-and-coming
neighborhoods including the Mill District.

The Mill District’s historic roots and cultural elements were inspiration for the property’s unique design elements, including train station notice boards, exposed brick walls, and graffiti murals painted by a local artist, among other accents throughout common areas.
Additionally, the Mill District is known for its
entertainment scene, boasting diverse food and retail options.
TCR
recently announced the opening of a permanent regional office in Raleigh to
service the Carolinas, which will be led by Robbie Brooks, TCR’s current
Managing Director of the Mid-Atlantic Region.
Brooks
will transition from that role to focus full-time on sourcing and executing new
ground-up development opportunities for premier multifamily communities in the
Research Triangle and Charlotte submarkets, which are experiencing
unprecedented demand for Class-A apartments.
