GASTONIA, N.C. — A group has signed on to redevelop a site in Gastonia that city leaders have long had an eye on for investment.
Charlotte-based Highline Partners is under contract to develop a mixed-use project at the former Central Branch YMCA site, which neighbors CaroMont Health Park at Gastonia’s Franklin Urban Sports and Entertainment District. The 6-acre site will be home to a project with 220-plus multifamily units and another building with commercial space, said Highline CEO Mark Miller. Miller announced his project at a breakfast event hosted by the Gaston Business Association on May 5.
