CHARLOTTE, N.C. — It’s been about a decade since what was then known as the Charlotte Housing Authority began laying redevelopment plans for its 16-acre site in Dilworth.

Long known as the Strawn Cottages site, the housing authority — now called Inlivian — selected The Fallon Co. out of Boston four years ago to serve as master developer of a new mixed-use, mixed-income project.
The 16.2-acre site is between South Boulevard and Euclid Avenue, at the front door of uptown and South End.
After years of planning, designing and conceptualizing, Fallon and Inlivian will next year break ground on the first phase of what will be a $400 million-plus redevelopment.
The project, now called Centre South, will include up to 1.4 million square feet of development across multiple phases, including 330,000 square feet of office, 60,000 square feet of ground-floor retail, 745 residential units, potentially a 180-room hotel and open space.
The first phase will include an office tower on South Boulevard and housing.
Centre South will include 145 residential units affordable for households earning 60% and 80% of the area median income. Those units will be mixed in with market-rate development.
