Atrium Health readies for major expansion at midtown campus

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Charlotte-based Atrium Health has significant expansion plans in the works for its flagship campus in midtown. A rezoning petition filed earlier this month details a request to allow new uses, including potential hotel rooms and senior housing.

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Hospital Authority, an entity affiliated with Atrium, filed a rezoning to allow a health institution, professional and medical offices, nursing homes, rest homes and homes for the aged, a medical college and/or nursing school, hotels, residential units and “other uses” on a 70.5-acre swath of land.

That property includes Atrium’s existing Carolinas Medical Center campus, as well as residential parcels to the south on Garden Trail, Fountain View and Scott Avenue. Atrium appears to own all of the land, including the residential lots.
