Column in Charlotte, NC Observer, 2/18/15:
Big plans afoot around U-City light rail
A few weeks ago, I wrote about Carolina States Regional Center’s plans for a 37-acre mixed use development with about 1,000 apartment units around the Lynx Blue Rail extension. Now, a separate group is marketing 60 wooded acres across Tryon Street as another potential major mixed-use site, with retail, apartments, offices and a hotel.
The development would be across Tryon Street from the University City Boulevard light rail station and parking garage. The land is owned by brothers David and Tim McKinney.
