Development has slowed across the Charlotte region, but a handful of transformational projects are still expected to break ground in 2025.
Why it matters: So many new housing and office developments have been built in recent years that supply has outpaced demand. Many cranes that once filled the sky were taken down and haven’t yet gone back up. But Charlotte is still growing, and newcomers need places to live and work.
- Developers breaking ground in the coming year hope this risk will give them an edge.
Editor’s note: This list doesn’t include all the developments happening across Charlotte — just some of the most impactful ones are getting off the ground soon.
- Other game-changing construction projects underway include The Pearl , Queensbridge Collective , Eastland Yards , Commonwealth , The River District and The Pass .

The Iron District is 55 currently industrial acres on West Morehead, where until recently Charlotte Pipe operated . In the coming years, it will transform into a destination that’s more on par with its South End surroundings.
