Where We Build: Charlotte Districts We Serve

Charlotte is the Southeast’s second-largest banking center and one of the country’s fastest-growing metros. We work across:

  • South End and NoDa – adaptive-reuse, restaurant, retail, and creative-office districts;
  • SouthPark – upscale retail and Class A office;
  • The University City and Ballantyne corporate corridors;
  • The airport, I-85, and I-77 logistics corridors.

Permitting and Code in Charlotte

Commercial construction in Charlotte is governed by the North Carolina State Building Code, enforced through the City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County. Rapid growth and a high-rise financial core drive a broad commercial pipeline.

  • North Carolina State Building Code — statewide code with local plan review, permitting, and inspections;
  • High-rise and mixed-use — structural, systems, and high-occupancy demands on Uptown towers and podium development;
  • Stormwater and site work — North Carolina and local stormwater and erosion-control requirements;
  • Wind and severe-weather design for the Piedmont region

We design and build to these from day one so a Charlotte project clears review and performs for the long term.
