CHARLOTTE,
NC – JLL Capital Markets
announced it has handled the sale of Centro Railyard, a 2020-vintage, 91-unit

JLL represented the seller, a partnership
between Ascent Real Estate Capital and Centro Cityworks, in completing the sale
to the buyer, Collett Capital. The partnership also designed and built the
property.
Centro Railyard is a mixed-use asset
compromised of 91 luxury apartments and “micro” ground floor retail,
featuring a variety of versatile, omni-channel retailers along the
pedestrian-friendly Winnifred Street corridor.
Apartment units include studio, one- and
two-bedroom floorplan options with dazzling white granite countertops,
honeycomb backsplashes, oversized windows, 10’ to 18’ ceilings, stainless steel
appliances and high-tech capabilities, such as keyless entry and smart locks.
Community amenities include a sky lounge with
remarkable city views and an interior corridor linked to the ground floor
retail space.
Located at 1425 Winnifred St., Centro
Railyard is connected to The Railyard, a mixed-use project consisting of
various office and retail tenants.
Centro
Railyard sits at the heart of the vibrant South End neighborhood, where
residents can easily walk to a variety of local restaurants, established
breweries, and eclectic retailers.

Moreover,
South End is experiencing an office boom with more than 2.1 million square feet
of office space currently under construction in the area, including Lowe’s
Technology Headquarters and LendingTree’s Headquarters.
Unsurprisingly,
the area is a young professional hotspot, whose residents are well-educated
(68% have earned college degrees), high-earning ($86.5k median income) and most
likely to rent (80% of homes are rented).
The JLL Capital Markets team representing
the seller was led by Allan Lynch, Caylor Mark, Tom Kolarczyk, Andrea
Howard, John Currin and Jeff Glenn.
“Award winning in design, innovative in
concept, and coveted in location, Centro Railyard resonated with investors
on many levels,” Lynch said.
“Further showcasing the project’s
permanence and growth potential, this unique asset leased up completely in just
a few months, all while withstanding the Covid-19 pandemic,” Mark added.
