The apartment complex, seven stories high, will stand at Trade and Graham streets C a location convenient to many of uptowns businesses and best attractions, said Steve McClure, president of Spectrum Properties Residential. It will also back up to the stadium that will house Charlottes minor league baseball team, the Knights.
McClure said the complex will have 177 units and offer studio apartments as well as one- and two-bedroom units. Each unit is planned for about 900 square feet.
The complex C called The Mint C will begin construction at the end of 2013, McClure said. Spectrum hopes to begin leasing in the fall of 2014, just a few months after the BB&T Ballpark opens in April 2014.
McClure declined to provide a cost for the project or give rental prices for the apartments. But he said The Mint will offer a classic, timeless feel C distinguishing it from the modern look of many of its high-rise competitors. The complex will also be equipped with a two-floor parking deck, sky terrace, pool, fitness center and pet elevator.
He said The Mint plans to offer personal concierge service, which will help residents coordinate dry cleaning, reservations and car services.
The Mint wont be the only apartment complex in the uptown area near the ballpark. Charlotte-based Childress Klein Properties is building a 22-story, 352-unit apartment complex nearby at South Mint Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. Atlanta-based Novare and Charlotte-based Grubb Properties also announced plans in January to build a 23-story high-rise in uptowns Fourth Ward, north of the intersection of Trade and Tryon streets.
