WINNER: TOP MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT
Camp North End delivered new office and retail space on its 76-acre campus this year, wrapping up its second phase of construction.
The adaptive-reuse project added 190,598 square feet across the 201 Camp Road and 701 Keswick Ave. buildings. That includes over 118,000 square feet of new office space. The remainder — dedicated to retail — is already 89% leased.
Special event venue The Revelry North End has joined the lineup. There are new restaurants, Halal Street Food and Seemingly Overzealous, as well. Hex Coffee doubled its footprint at Camp North End — and made room for Chef Hector Gonzalez-Mora’s Noche Bruta concept.
Retailers include Hardy Boys Records and Comics; streetwear boutique Current Nostalgia and Fitteds, a custom hat retailer.
Pickleball entertainment venue Tipsy Pickle has leased 35,000 square feet there.
More than 450,000 square feet has been redeveloped at Camp North End, drawing 70 businesses to the site. It is 68% leased at this time.
Atco Properties & Management had been looking at Charlotte acquisitions for several years before finding Camp North End.
“This seemed pretty obvious to me. It was a very rare opportunity to do something very special,” says Damon Hemmerdinger, co-president.
Full buildout will encompass 3 million square feet of office, retail, restaurants, multifamily and public space. The first wave of apartments, Kinship East and West, started leasing over the summer.
