Providence Road Development

[KJHburg]

and this is Rea Farms Village by Lincoln Harris. Lots of apartments and some getting ready to open. The retail portion is looking very good. According to SE Real Estate magazine 65% preleased and expected to be 90% preleased by Lincoln Harris by the time it opens this fall.   Harris Teeter structure all up.  Single family homes by CalAtlantic Lennar have started. One massive construction site.   The retail spaces look fantastic.  1. back of new massive Harris Teeter 2. new signage and apartments over shops.  3. apartments.  4.single family homes underway back of property  5.. apartments 6. retail bldg.  7. apts.  Photos 8-10 all the retail space which is very nice.

These new apartments should have no problem renting up as they have been popular in other large cities.  Overture for those age 55 and above. No Millenials need to apply.  Not assisted living but for active mature adults LOL  and they have elevators too.

There are multiple locations of these Overture apartments in Houston and I know they have leased up quickly.  They are building some of these in Cotswold too but this is a great location walk to shops, Harris Teeter lots of retail

Couple photos of Rea Farms Village this is really coming together.  The retail space looks great and apartments have better finishes than many others.  From Saturday.  Rea Farms Village this will be really big and a focal point for south south Charlotte outside 485 and Union County.

Any word on tenants in Rea Farms? Surely a nice development across from Waverly, However I prefer the style of Waverly.

Heard it is over 70% leased but they are mum on the tenants and restaurants.  Typical Lincoln Harris.

Great aerial photos from ClearSky of Providence Farms which is next to Waverly and across from Rea Farms Village.  These show how a suburban edge city is being built today.  http://photos.clearskyimages.com/2018-04-6408-providence-charlotte-nc-aerials

Photos of retail and apartments at Lincoln Harris's Rea Farms Village.  These retail buildings look great and very classical style like LH likes.   This will be very successful for sure.  New Lifestyle Fitness Center open, SF homes being built and sold, apartments getting ready to open, retailers upfitting their space, hotel site cleared and ready to go (Hyatt House) Overture senior apartments underway.  All across the street from the majorly successful Waverly development.

If I’m correct, Below the apartments is Retail?

I think this looks great.  It reminds me a little of Baxter Village, but way nicer.

Baxter is nicer in my opinion.

Yes above the retail on one side of the main shopping street is 2 levels of apartments, some retail just looks 2 stories but it really just a tall 1 story building.

What is this suppose to be? I'm guessing a fire station/emergency services but I don't recall the City locating one in this development.

^^^No it is a retail building and pretty sure that is the  huge video screen setup  in that balcony space above.  Here is the site plan

Using the most professional criticism I can muster, some of that crap is f*ing ugly nonsense.

Dude it’s like a Hollywood set, or like Disney world, its so bad. Freaking Greek temple new urbanism, so bad. Everything seems skewed in perspective to be a much bigger building than it is.

Plus That last building looks like a person yelling, “I’m Ugly”

From the folks who brought us Legacy Union...of course it's bad (no offense to admirers of both projects).

[KJHburg]

I have heard that Lincoln Harris wanted something very different and more upscale than Waverly that Childress Klein developed across the street which I heard he hated the design.  <<< Don't shoot the messenger here just reporting what someone who knows him told me.     I will wait until it finishes out but I do know this:  Rea Farms Village will be super successful just like Waverly is across the street.   People in the suburbs love places like this and they have probably all been to Disney World! 

As for Legacy I love it.

Sorry to be crude:

 

But Cary gets this:   http://www.fentonnc.com/

Alpharetta has this: http://www.experienceavalon.com/

 

And we get this absolute architectural piece of crap.  Thanks LH.

^^ I see no difference between the Avalon (in Alpharetta) and Waverly or Rea Farms....

Avalon is similar architecturally to Waverly.  My only problem with Waverly is the layout.  

Rea Farms belongs in 1992 era Southpark.

^^ my point is that many of the suburban retail plaza developers's do the bare minimum (add a green space or a fountain). But most of the buildings are copy/paste from another project...

I actually think Waverly can evolve into something much better than what it is today.   My hope is that they eventually build a couple of parking ramps in the middle of those parking lots and then wrap buildings around them.

Avalon appears to be much denser, with much less surface parking.  Waverly building design is fine if they did a better job with parking.

I think Waverly looks like Fenton. Maybe a little smaller or slightly more stretched out. They really aren't that different. 

I will say, though (again), that I feel like the parties responsible for designing our buildings /developments around here hate us.
