Midtownis known for its notorious Trader Joe's parking lot and bustling Target. But the area is quickly transforming into one of Charlotte's most prominent neighborhoods.
Why it matters: Several major developments underway are shaping what the area looks like.
Driving the news: Next to Pearl Street Park, Pappas Properties is planning to erect three new buildings, ranging from 95 to 275 feet in height.
The mixed-use project incorporates a boutique hotel, housing, including for-sale units, and 35,000 square feet of first-floor restaurant and retail space across the buildings.
