SouthPark’s Specialty Shops, the palm‑styled cluster of boutiques and restaurants across from SouthPark Mall, is officially up for grabs. The listing drops one of Charlotte’s most polished retail pockets into investors’ laps at a time when buyers are chasing well‑located, experience‑driven retail. With a mix of national brands and independent boutiques, this center is poised to tempt both private buyers and larger institutional funds.
Listing and brokerage
As reported by Charlotte Business Journal, Berkeley Capital Advisors is handling the marketing assignment for the Specialty Shops. The firm’s active listings page is loaded with Southeast retail offerings, a pipeline that signals Berkeley Capital is likely to court both regional and national investors for this deal.

Hill Partners acquired the property in a prior deal that followed EverWest’s ownership, with the center previously selling for about $40.2 million, according to REBusinessOnline. That 2023 transaction left the Specialty Shops positioned as a stabilized, experience‑oriented retail hub in SouthPark, combining credit tenants with local boutiques.
Property snapshot
The center, at 6401 Carnegie Boulevard, spans roughly 65,000 square feet, per Hill Partners property materials. Hill Partners’ leasing brochure spotlights national names like Williams‑Sonoma and Talbots alongside restaurants and local boutiques that give the project its high‑end feel.

Berkeley Capital, whose public listings focus on retail investment sales across the Southeast, will run the marketing process and is expected to draw attention from regional funds and national retail investors as offering materials make the rounds…
