@RANYC I was always under the impression that you were in financial services recruiting, but I might way off on that.  I feel that people are always surprised that banks, Big 4 consultants, and "big law" all pay at or > 90% of NYC wages for Charlotte staff.

 

You don’t know him!

the 2 new Gold district apartment complexes looking good and getting closer to move ins. 

 

[KJHburg]

Gold District rising with 3 new apartment complexes and a 4th just started on W Morehead.  I sure wish there was better branding in this area and yes a pocket park or something noting the gold mining history of the area.

More of the Gold District from above and a couple street level shots.  Today.   Did not know the Catholic Church offices had solar panels on the roof.

I have friends in high places lets just say that LOL

The apartments of  the Gold District rising and finishing up.  Today. 

[j-man]

The fact that these new apartments, the brown bricked ones in the above photos are going for nearly $10,000 a month is absolutely insane. And only for 2 Bedrooms.

That's what they are listed for on apartments.com. A few of the wo bedrooms are going for 9,871 right now. Most of them are 4-6,000.

My god, I would never pay that money for those “studios”.  You’re paying big city prices for a smaller space and a more car dependent area than some of the largest, densest urban cities in the U.S. 560 Sq. Ft. Is too small to have all those walls. If this place can command those prices, there needs to be a heck of a lot more units U/C & proposed. 
 

On another note, is the clothing store “Guess” a tenant? If so, nice score for the area. I’d like to see a Patagonia, REI, North Face & Starbucks Reserve in the area. Yes, I am that incredibly basic but surely so are most SouthEnder’s lol.

"Big city prices" might be putting it lightly. You're from DC so you'll know best, but I think studios even in DC limits will typically go for less than 3k right? Like this would be expensive almost anywhere except Manhattan is my intuition.

I try to avoid specifically talking about DC given it can be obnoxious when someone talks about the same city 24/7, but the typical luxury studios in desirable areas in DC  (for example overlooking the waterfront, on top of a metro/grocery store, lots of retail, tons of foot traffic, etc.) is usually $1750-$2350 base with most I see being around $2100. I’ve never seen any $3,000 studio in my searches of DC. At least not on a large scale of an entire Multifamily property.

It’s on par price wise with most anywhere in Navy Yard, Wharf/SW Waterfront & Union Market / NoMa which are the shiny new areas of DC and looks slightly lower quality & noticeably less of a walkable area, less urban amenities and pretty auto-dominated area (that’s not a slam at all btw. Obviously people are paying premiums, so.) 

I honestly only know DC‘s Multifamily rent so I dunno. Maybe this is on range with the rest of SouthEnd, uptown, NoDa. I can give you a price range on apartments in Charlotte outside of center city xD like off Arrowood, in Pineville, Concord, Gastonia etc because that’s all I could afford back then, lol. But I have no idea the apartments in center city excluding Tryon House xD

Anyway. If people are paying that much, they need to build a lot more units because there is obviously demand for urban living then.

I am looking on their website and I don't see any $3000 plus studios.

I see studios from $1902-2171

I see 1 bedrooms from $1903 to $2500   there is no 1 bedroom or studio above $3000 all below that level.  

2 bedrooms start at $2800 and go up from there 

and yes they do have a supersized 2 bedroom on top floor   

2 Beds | 2 Baths | 1,952 sq ft$9,786 - $9,871*

https://livetheprospect.com/   then hit Stake your Claim which opens up the leasing rates etc. 

Well the market sets prices so we will see what the depth of their prices can be and these new high rises are not cheaper.   I rent various 4 bedroom homes all over the region that are across board cheaper than these 1 bedroom apartments.

some photos of the new apartment buildings going up in the Gold District from behind the Railyard and beyond.   and nice one story retail office renovation on W Bland I just noticed today.  It is important to keep some of these smaller buildings in Southend and Gold District too.

missed this article when it was published back in February, but an upscale market, like a mini Whole Foods, is coming to the neighborhood at 1124 S Mint. I'm guessing they'll be doing a hefty renovation to the building and I can't wait to see how it turns out. Love that they're saving another 1 story brick building in the neighborhood. The Gold District is BOOMING

I 180% love this. Looking at the picture of the building and how narrow the sidewalk is in front, I would if it would be possible for the (re)developer to recess the actual entrance to the store, creating a porch or sort of outdoor vestibule of the original facade, through which both pedestrians could pass but also allow shaded displays or even a few tables protected from the weather... Just a thought.

walk through the Gold District.  Spectrum and Grubb's apartments are finishing up and photo of the building on S Mint that Savi Provisions is going into.  

also the apartments at Bland and S Church.   This area is about to get a lot more residents.  

[KJHburg]

2 of the 3 apartment complexes going up in the Gold District and all 3 of them are finishing up.
