About this home

Prime development opportunity in the heart of Charlotte’s rapidly growing Biddleville/West End corridor. Zoned NC (Neighborhood Center), this lot allows for a mix of residential, commercial, and service uses designed to support a vibrant, walkable neighborhood environment. The zoning encourages both vertical and horizontal mixed-use development, creating exceptional flexibility for investors, builders, and developers. Located within the Pedestrian Overlay District, the property benefits from an urban setback structure allowing a 0 ft setback on one side and a 5 ft setback on the other, maximizing the potential building footprint. The lot offers year-round views of the Queen City skyline, with incredible city views possible from a second or third story rooftop terrace. Positioned just steps from the Bruns Avenue Light Rail Station, the property is also a short walk to Center City, the farmers market, and neighborhood amenities throughout Biddleville and the Historic West End. A planned grocery store nearby further highlights the continued growth and investment happening throughout the area. Surrounded by new development and revitalization, this is a rare opportunity to secure a site in one of Charlotte’s most exciting and rapidly evolving urban neighborhoods. Building plans as depicted in renderings available upon request.
