First Ward - Charlotte, NC
First Ward is the First of many great Wards in Uptown Charlotte, North Carolina. Every Ward offers something a little different but First Ward is where it begins. It has come along way over the past 10 years and its recent revitalization includes Time Warner Arena, Spirit Square, Levine Museum of the New South, Mint Museum of Craft + Design, Courtside Condos and the New UNCC (University of North Carolina Charlotte) Academic Building which is part of an Urban Village Project.
Time Warner Arena is the home court to the NBA's Charlotte Bobcats as well as a showcase to the many top performing acts that come through Charlotte like Bruce Springsteen and U2. The First Ward, rich in history, was named its Ward in 1870 when politicians divided Uptown Charlotte into manageable parts.
First Ward started out as vacant land and public housing and has now transformed into planned development by Bank of America and The Charlotte Housing Authority. First Ward was just awarded the HUD HOPE VI grant, giving way to many new condos, townhomes, commercial buildings and University's.
Levine Properties, who is the owner developing the land, plans a 4 acre park, 450,000 square feet of office space, 2,700 residential units, 250 hotel rooms, 250,000 square feet of retail space, and 450,000 square feet of civic space. First Ward is growing fast and many new buildings are underway.
