Market context & project rationale
High-growth, high-demand urban submarket
Charlotte remains one of the fastest‑growing cities in the U.S., with sustained in‑migration and a deep pool of renters seeking modern, amenity‑rich housing in walkable urban settings. Over the last decade, LoSo has evolved into one of Charlotte’s most desirable live‑work‑play districts. The area is anchored by a growing mix of breweries, restaurants, entertainment venues and creative office users, positioned just steps from the LYNX Blue Line’s Scaleybark Station. With strong connectivity and an authentic, experiential neighborhood identity, LoSo continues to attract residents and businesses seeking dynamic, transit‑accessible urban environments.
Advancing a multi-phase mixed-use destination
Bowers LoSo represents the next step in establishing a cohesive, multi‑phase mixed‑use district. The architectural approach pairs modern design with LoSo’s established industrial aesthetic, creating a cohesive environment that aligns with area character while elevating the residential experience.
By delivering housing and ground‑floor retail that activate the street and integrate with the existing adaptive‑reuse buildings, the project creates an around‑the‑clock environment that benefits residents, visitors and commercial tenants alike. Although the local multifamily market is experiencing temporary vacancy pressure due to elevated deliveries, absorption remains strong for high‑quality product, positioning the project advantageously as the regional pipeline contracts and the capital markets environment stabilizes.
