Standing on Charles Avenue over one hundred and twenty years ago, Charlotteans were surrounded by rolling farmland. A group of investors in early 1903 transformed the surrounding acres into Charlotte’s first textile mill, Highland Park Manufacturing. Stuart Cramer designed the state-of-the-art mill along with the surrounding village of homes and a future village square.
Today, Charles Avenue is a pedestrian-friendly street idyllically located near restaurants and shopping on bustling North Davidson. Nine lots remain incredibly untouched and undeveloped. Our vision is to honor the modest history of the mill district while in tandem introducing radical new concepts like Cramer did all those years ago.
