Uptown Charlotte is the central business district of Charlotte, North Carolina. The area is split into four wards by the intersection of Trade and Tryon Streets, and bordered by Interstate 277 and Interstate 77. The area is managed and overseen by the Charlotte Central City Partners, which is one of the three Municipal Service Districts in Charlotte. Uptown Charlotte is the largest business district in Charlotte and the Carolinas.

Several Fortune 500 companies have their headquarters in the district, including Bank of America, Duke Energy, Honeywell, and the east coast operations of Wells Fargo.[2][3] Uptown contains over 33 million square feet of office space.[4] Athletic and event facilities located in Center City include Bank of America Stadium, Spectrum Center, Truist Field, and the NASCAR Hall of Fame. Museums, theaters, hotels, high-density residential developments, restaurants, and bars are heavily concentrated in the Center City, with over 245 restaurants[5] and 50 nightspots.[6]

Name origins

Charlotte's central business district is referred to as "Uptown" by locals, although the term "Downtown" is understood and used by native Charlotteans since it references the same area of the city. There is some confusion brought about by the use of the terms "Uptown" and "Downtown" for Charlotte's center city area. The term "Up-Town", referring to the geographic location of Tryon and Trade Street—“uptown” actually does sit at a higher elevation than the rest of the city—was recorded as early as 1895 in the Charlotte Observer but fell out of use around 1929 for reasons unknown. The term "Downtown" was commonly used up until the mid-1970s by residents, media, and city leaders for the Center City. In 1973, a massive campaign was launched by local businessman Jack Wood to revamp the image of the downtown area and embrace the historic and arguably uniquely Charlotte term "Uptown" by reintroducing it to the general public. In September 1974 Charlotte City Council passed an official proclamation that said "The heart of Charlotte should be now and forever more known as Uptown Charlotte."[7] On February 14, 1987, the Charlotte Observer began using the term "Uptown" as a way to promote a more positive upbeat image of the Center City area.[8] School teachers were provided with "historical" documents justifying use of the term to teach to students.[9]

Tryon Street

Located at 100 North Tryon Street in Charlotte, the Bank of America Corporate Center stands 871 ft tall and is the 118th tallest building in the world.

Tryon Street is a major north–south street of Charlotte, North Carolina. It traverses through the center of Uptown Charlotte and is the address for some of the city's tallest buildings, such as the Bank of America Corporate Center and Truist Center. U.S. Route 29 and North Carolina Highway 49 are signed along portions of Tryon Street (although they both deviate onto Graham Street through Uptown). The road is divided into two segments at its intersection with Trade Street: North Tryon Street and South Tryon Street. Likewise, Tryon Street divides Trade Street into east and west. The Trade and Tryon intersection serves as the dividing point for the city's first four wards, as well as the center of its address grid. The street was named after William Tryon, governor of the Province of North Carolina from 1765 to 1771.

Entering the Charlotte city limits from the north, US 29's street name changes from Concord Parkway to North Tryon Street. US 29 and Tryon Street continue southwest through the University City neighborhood, passing by the PNC Music Pavilion, intersecting with Interstate 485 (North Carolina), and passing through the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, where NC 49 joins in from University City Boulevard.

South Tryon Street terminates at the Charlotte city limits at the Steele Creek neighborhood, where it changes to York Road. NC 49 continues west to Lake Wylie, South Carolina, where it becomes Charlotte Highway and SC 49 begins.

Neighborhoods

Uptown Charlotte is divided into four neighborhoods, or "wards", by the intersection of Trade and Tryon Streets. [27]

First Ward

Queen City Quarter (formerly known as the Epicentre) is a popular shopping and nightlife destination in downtown.[28]

First Ward lies directly to the east of the intersection of Trade and Tryon. It is that quadrant bounded by North Tryon on the northwest and East Trade on the southwest.

Once considered one of the most dangerous areas in Charlotte, the first ward has become one of the more desirable because of gentrification under a HUD HOPE VI grants with many new developments are under construction. The award-winning Center City Building which houses the uptown campus of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte is in the first ward. The Center City Building is 11 stories and was completed in 2011. it includes 25 state of the art classrooms, design studios, meeting space, and performance spaces.[29] The urban village includes a 4-acre (16,000 m2) park, which was completed in December 2015, 4,600,000 sq ft (430,000 m2) of office space, 1,182 residential units, 250 hotel rooms, and 192,000 sq ft (17,800 m2) of retail space.[30] Current attractions include the Main Library, the Spirit Square portion of the North Carolina Blumenthal Performing Arts Center, ImaginOn Children's Learning Center, Levine Museum of the New South, the Spectrum Center (home of the Charlotte Hornets).

The second ward lies directly to the south of the intersection of Trade and Tryon. It is the quadrant bounded by South Tryon on the northwest and East Trade on the northeast. Second Ward is the hospitality center of Uptown with about half of the hotel rooms in Uptown and it is an important employment center as well. It includes 7,700,000 sq ft (720,000 m2) of office space, 840 residential units, 3,682 hotel rooms with 1,136 additional rooms under construction, and 518,000 sq ft (48,100 m2) of retail space.

The Honeywell Tower, Honeywell's Global headquarters
Truist Center, Truist Financial's headquarters in Charlotte

As of 2021 Uptown Charlotte employs 120,000 people[37] across 33 million square feet of office space,[38] hosts more than 18 million visitors a year, and is home to 35,000 residents.[39][40]

Charlotte is the second largest banking center in the country behind New York City. This determination is made by the dollar amount of assets held by banks headquartered in the city. The current banks with headquarters in the city are Bank of America with $2.8 trillion in assets as of 2020[41] and Truist Financial with $509 billion in assets as of 2020.[42] Both bank have their headquarters in Uptown. Bank of America at 100 North Tryon Bank of America Corporate Center[43] and Truist at 214 North Tryon Truist Center.[44] Uptown has also become a hub of large bank employment bases. Wells Fargo, whose Charlotte presence was Wachovia prior to being acquired by Wells Fargo, occupies numerous buildings in Uptown including Duke Energy Center,[45] One Wells Fargo Center,[46] Two Wells Fargo Center, Three Wells Fargo Center,[47] and 300 South Brevard.[48] Other banks that have a large employment base in Uptown are Ally Financial with 2,100 employees located in Ally Charlotte Center[49] and U.S. Bank with 860 employees located in Truist Center.[50][51]

Construction boom

Due to the Great Recession's effect on Charlotte construction in Uptown was at a virtual stand still between 2010 and 2014. The ground breaking of 300 South Tryon began a building boom in Uptown. Between 2000 and 2010 6 million square feet of office space was added to Uptown.[64] In 2019 6.9 million square feet of office space was under construction or planned, 8,458 housing units were under construction or planned, 2,310 hotel rooms were under construction or planned, 948,167 square feet of retail was under construction or planned.[65] This pipeline includes a number of projects such as the Duke Energy Plaza, Seventh and Tryon which is part of the North Tryon Vision project, 10 Tryon, Ally Charlotte Center, JW Marriott Charlotte, FNB Tower, 650 S. Tryon, The Ellis, 500 W. Trade. Unfortunately three hotels have stalled due to the COVID-19 pandemic they are the Moxy Hotel, Intercontinental Hotel at Belk Place, and the Hotel at The Ellis.[66]

Companies consolidating real estate has been a major factor in new commercial construction.[67][68][69] Three such buildings that are a part of real estate consolidation are Ally Charlotte Center,[70] Duke Energy Plaza,[71] and the Bank of America Tower[72] each is building a bigger building to unite at least two offices under the same roof. In the case of Ally Charlotte Center and Duke Energy Plaza it is at least 4 offices.[73][74] Part of the consolidation efforts have been brought up by adopting a hybrid model of work after returning from the Covid-19 pandemic where most workers will work part time or full time from home. Obviously a smaller real estate foot print is needed. Duke Energy specifically is aiming to cuts its real estate foot print from 2.5 million square feet to 1 million by 2050.[75]

One of the areas of Uptown that has seen the most development since 2015 to 2021 is the Stonewall Corridor which runs along Stonewall Street and next to I-277 South from McDowell St to Bank of America Stadium. The primary reason for the boom of the corridor is the abundance of land along Stonewall Street. After the I-277 interchanges were shrunk 5 big parcels of land each at least 2 acres were available on the north side of I-277.[76] One of the first new buildings on Stonewall to start the building boom was Regions 615 which delivered in the Spring of 2017[77] since then the Bank of America Tower completed in early 2019,[78] Honeywell Tower began construction in September 2019,[79] Ally Charlotte Center delivered in May 2021[80] and many other buildings.
