Discounts in works for unsold units at Charlotte's Rosewood condos

Discounts in works for unsold units at Charlotte's Rosewood condos

COTSWOLD (Susan Stabley, Charlotte Business Journal) - Sales at the Rosewood luxury condo complex may soon bloom again under a new pricing model that discounts units as much as 30%.

But first, the company that developed the project must gain approval for a Chapter 11 bankruptcy plan that puts Rosewood’s remaining units in the hands of the same local investors that bought the debt on the EpiCentre complex.

Work on the 9-acre, 134-unit Rosewood development at Providence and Sharon Amity roads finished in 2007. Its developer — Rosewood at Providence LLC — filed for bankruptcy reorganization in February 2010. That partnership is an affiliate of Macon, Ga.-based WCDM Development, headed by Jerry Stephens.

Builder creates homes to match area’s changing demographics

BALLANTYNE (Stacie Tinucci, M/I Homes Charlotte) - Think of the Ballantyne area as packed with kids and teens?  You’re about half right.

More than half of the area’s residents are families without children at home, according to new research from Nielsen Claritas.  Some are couples whose children have grown.  Other residents are DINK’s – double income, no kids.  

In response to this trend, M/I Homes Charlotte has opened a new neighborhood in the community of Ardrey Crest to appeal to the area’s changing and varied demographics. 

Bissell ready to take rezoning back to city council

BALLANTYNE (Mike Parks, The South Charlotte Weekly) - Representatives of the Bissell Companies will step back in front of Charlotte City Council later this month in their bid to win approval for the rezoning of the Ballantyne Corporate Park.

Company leaders want roughly 520 acres of land rezoned in Ballantyne to make way for the addition of an extra one million square feet of office space on top of what the group already plans to build there.

Work currently is under way on headquarters for American Honda Finance Corp and SPX, as well as two office buildings announced last month, and company president Ned Curran says steps need to be taken now to ensure there’s enough room for smart growth 10 to 15 years from now.
