CHARLOTTE, N.C. — New apartments are the first of many changes coming to uptown's first ward.

Developer Dan Levine plans to build 264 apartments on Brevard Street.

Levine is already building a new park behind UNC Charlotte's uptown campus.

A 300-room hotel will go next to the park.

Levine said it will create a new identity for the first ward.
