More housing near light rail underway, this time a $65 million NoDa apartment project
Construction started this month on the Residences at The Pass — a $64.5 million project bringing 335 apartments to NoDa.
Atlanta-based Third & Urban is developing the 260,000-square-foot, mixed-use property at 4100 Raleigh St., adjacent to the LYNX blue line’s Sugar Creek light rail station.
The NoDa neighborhood has seen lots of construction in the past few years. Developments like Centro NoDa on E. 36th Street with 209 apartments and a 383-apartment building on E. 36th and North Tryon Streets are both under construction.
A third of the Raleigh Street property will be retail, entertainment and office space, and will open in the fall. Popular restaurant Soul Gastrolounge, which was forced to close last year because of rising rent prices, will re-open at The Pass.
The apartment layouts will be studio, one- and two-bedroom. The Residences will have access to the Cross Charlotte Trail and to the light rail station across the street, according to Third & Urban’s news release.
The project was announced last year, and Third & Urban predicts residents will be able to move in during the summer of 2025.
The developer’s plan is to maintain some warehouse facade currently on the property, combine it with new buildings and add a “pocket park” underneath the overpass.
About Soul Gastrolounge
The popular Charlotte restaurant, Soul Gastrolounge, temporarily closed last August, and has been operating out of its food truck and offering catering services since.
After 13 years in Charlotte’s Midwood Plaza, Soul closed its doors. Owners Lesa and Andy Kastanas also closed Tattoo Lounge and Sister, formerly known as Kiki Bistro, both located in the same building last year.
Soul’s new location will be three times the size of the old one, at 6,400 square feet. It will include a bar from one of the owner’s other closed restaurants, the Tattoo Liquor Lounge.
