AT THE SITE OF THE HISTORIC CHARLOTTE PIPE FOUNDRY, THE IRON DISTRICT OPENS A NEW DOOR TO OUR CITY’S VIBRANT CULTURE
We’re assembling a team of local visionaries to create a complete neighborhood that connects South End to Uptown. The Iron District will offer places to live and work alongside immersive public spaces, local restaurants, and distinctive shops. Rooted in the site’s industrious history, we’re focused on quality, consistency—brought to life on a rare 56-acre urban site guided by one team and one owner.
