Abstract:
The view of an attractive skyline, easy access to sports arenas and the arts, and the convenience and cachet of urban living make downtown Charlotte an attractive place to live. The city is awash in plans for residential high-rises. Between April 2004 and April 2005, seven high-rises were announced, ranging from 13 to 53 stories and totaling over 1,700 residential units. Many of the units were sold even before construction began.
