JLL Retained to Solicit Qualified Development Partners Nationwide
Staff Report//May 20, 2025//
SUMMARY
Levine Properties is introducing two prime South Charlotte development opportunities, Providence Square and Providence & Fairview, to the market. JLL has been retained as the exclusive sales representative to identify and vet potential development partners from across the country to help bring these long-anticipated projects to life. Both sites occupy strategic locations along the prestigious Providence Road corridor and offer a rare opportunity to shape one of Charlotte’s most desirable residential and retail districts.
“With Charlotte’s continued population and economic growth, demand is high for well-located, mixed-use environments that deliver long-term value,” said Daniel Malino, President of Levine Properties. “This is a once-in-a- generation opportunity to help shape the future of South Charlotte with projects that will reflect both the character of the community and the momentum of the city.”
Providence Square:
Located at the intersections of Providence Road, Old Providence Road and Sardis Lane, this 84-acre redevelopment project envisions a thoughtful blend of residential, retail, office, and green space that complements the surrounding neighborhoods while meeting Charlotte’s growing demand for walkable, community-centered environments. This forward-thinking approach to urban planning will foster a true live-work-play community in a cohesive environment. In December, the project secured support from the City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, in the form of a tax increment grant, for elements of the project that offer public benefits, such as enhanced road improvements, new public park spaces, and connection to the McAlpine Creek Greenway. Providence Square stands as a blank canvas for creating a vibrant, mixed-use development that will serve as the magnetic center of gravity for the surrounding area.
Providence & Fairview:
This 12-acre site, formerly home to Carmel on Providence Apartments, sits at one of South Charlotte’s most iconic crossroads. A marquee location long-envisioned for a signature project, it has the potential to become a cornerstone destination, offering a mix of uses tailored to modern urban lifestyles while preserving the character of the area.
Situated in the heart of South Charlotte’s highly sought-after residential enclave, the site is surrounded by some of the strongest demographics in the Charlotte MSA. Its location, just five minutes from SouthPark Mall and offering
convenient access to Uptown Charlotte, connects future residents and businesses to the city’s major commercial and
cultural hubs.
“These sites represent one of the largest remaining redevelopment opportunities in the most desirable submarket of Charlotte,” said Hunter Barron, Managing Director at JLL. “We’re targeting best-in-class partners who understand the value of patience and precision, who will help transform vision into reality in a way that fits seamlessly into the fabric of South Charlotte.”
