The Sharon at SouthPark
Location: Charlotte. NC. Industry: Senior Living | Residential
The Sharon at SouthPark is a transformative expansion of one of Charlotte's premier senior living communities. As part of a phased campus redevelopment strategy, the project was developed to expand wellness, residential, and community-focused amenities while supporting the continued growth of The Sharon's independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing programs.
The development consists of a six-story Center for Vibrant Living (CVL) featuring health and fitness amenities, gathering spaces, back-of-house functions, and a rooftop terrace, together with an adjacent mixed-use residential building containing 64 independent living apartments, community spaces, retail, dining, and office areas. The buildings are connected to the existing North Tower Apartments via an elevated pedestrian bridge and are supported by a two-level underground parking garage with approximately 170 parking spaces. The overall development encompasses approximately 403,000 GSF and utilizes Type IB post-tensioned concrete construction throughout.
