The Line is a 16-story office building under construction in South End Charlotte, North Carolina. When completed in 2021, it will stand at a height of around 212.27 feet (64.70 m). [2] There will be a total of 16 floors, nine of which will be dedicated to office space. The building will border the rail trail in South End south of the East/West Blvd station.[3]

History[]

The plot of land is 2.2 acres. It was initially put on the market March 6th, 2018 as reported by the Charlotte Observer. Portman Holdings bought the plot for $12.7M. Shook Kelley previously leased the 27,045 square-foot building that was there before.[4]

Originally a food hall was planned for the building, but due to coronavirus this is no longer the case. Sycamore Brewing will be the anchor tenant of the building. The project doesn’t have any other office or retail tenants lined up yet. Sycamore Brewing co-owner Sarah Brigham said this about the project, "We are beyond excited to be a part of this amazingly cool space. With an expansive beer garden, second-story patio, house-roasted coffee offering, and a dynamic chef-driven food and beverage program, this experience is going to be second to none in the Queen City".[5] Sycamore will feature 10,000 square on 2 levels with another 16,000 of space for a beer garden and outdoor area.[6]

The building will feature 15,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, a parking garage with 710 spaces and several rooftop terraces.[7]

The tower is also looking for a high profile national restaurant to occupy a space of up to 9,800 square in the building. Keely Hines, vice president of Foundry Commercial the group responsible for leasing the tower, is optimist about the tower's ability to attract such national restaurant. Hine said “We are feeling out concepts and determining what will be the best fit for the building and the market.”[8]

Future Development[]

After Sycamore Brewing moves to the Line next store work will begin on the second phase of the project, which is being called 2161 Hawkins. Portman Residential is planning to build a 22 story apartment tower with 200 to 300 units. Construction is planned to begin in early 2022 and last 2 years. The Line's lot 2.2 acre lot along with Sycamore current 1.5 acre lot were bought in 2018 by Portman Holdings for $12.7 million. The two lots will likely have a common outdoor plaza. The goal of the project is to develop a building that complements the Line.[9]
