Full-floor Myers Park condos in former Queens University dorm asking $1.3 million and up

Jim Gross, a well-known developer, purchased a Queens University dorm for $4.2 million. Since old dorm rooms don’t make for good high-end condos, the building was demolished and the condos were created.

I’m pretty sure that Michael Jordan and Cam Newton have full floor condos near Chima in Uptown — now you can be like Mike.

Opus Myers Park consists of four five-story and one four-story buildings. Each of the 24 total condos occupies a full floor.

“Opus represents a dramatic raising of the bar for condominium living in Charlotte,” Jim shared with the Agenda. “Nowhere else in the city can every homeowner have truly private full-floor living with direct access to the elevator and no common hallways or walls.”

These five steel and concrete buildings will be connected with gas-lit mews (fancy term for alleys) inspired by European pedestrian streets. The mews will connect popular Queens and Providence roads.

Unless the economy craters, I expect these to easily sell.

Sure, the location is outstanding, but the idea of having private elevator access directly to your private entire floor will make residents feel cool. It’s highly differentiated. No hallway. No common walls. No elevator lobbies.

The 24 condos have open floor plans with 2, 3 or 4 bedroom layouts, private terraces and 2.5 or 3.5 baths. Each is 2,630 to 3,262 total square feet. And I don’t even know what “insta-hot water” listed in the marketing materials means, but I want it. 

The price of remaining condos range from $1,365,000 to $1,535,000. Real estate leader Valerie Mitchener told me that the furnished model should be ready for tours in 30 days and that some residents will be moving in as early as March.

That’s a lot of cheddar, but Myers Park and Eastover home prices have skyrocketed, so it’s not insane — especially when you have your own floor.
