CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Crosland Southeast has received substantial feedback after outreach to neighborhood and business groups as it maps out the future of a key site in Charlotte’s Plaza Midwood neighborhood.
In March, Crosland Southeast and Nuveen Real Estate acquired the 12-acre Central Square shopping center site at Pecan and Central avenues, paying $49.8 million for the property. Since closing, executives at Crosland Southeast have conducted community surveys and Zoom calls with area residents on what they hope to see for the site’s next chapter.
“A critical piece here is to make sure, with this asset, that we steward it well and make sure it’s a place for the community and the city long term,” said Bobby Speir, senior vice president of acquisitions at Crosland Southeast.
The survey has received more than 4,000 responses with a range of feedback and ideas, and the developers are now looking for ways to incorporate those into the master plan. Major themes brought up in the survey: keeping neighborhood character authentic with any new development, the ability to have community events and art on site, and consideration for parking needs.
