Boulevard’s broken dream 
In 2010, construction was supposed to begin on Trinity Towns, a roughly 60-townhome development just a few blocks from Bank of America Stadium. Planned for a site at 1449 S. Church St., the project, a vision of Charlotte-based developer The Boulevard Co., was to sit on about 1.72 acres. But, two years after construction was set to start, the site is vacant, building has never begun and the property is in foreclosure.
