Taylor Morrison Picks Up Fully Permitted 162-Acre Lake Wylie Property
Taylor Morrison Picks Up Fully Permitted 162-Acre Lake Wylie Property
Homebuilder Taylor Morrison paid $58 million for lakefront property outside of Charlotte.
Taylor Morrison says it will deliver a mix of townhomes, single-family homes and lakefront options in The Palisades neighborhood at Lake Wylie. The company is permitted to build 499 units on 162 acres. The Coves at Lake Wylie will be part of a master-planned community that will include retailers, grocers and a variety of restaurants 30 minutes from Charlotte’s city center.
Alex Phillips, Andy Slowik, Battle Smith and Sparling Davis of Cushman & Wakefield represented the seller, Drapac Capital. Phillips added, “What really set the Coves at Lake Wylie apart is the years of effort put in by Drapac Capital Partners to mitigate all controllable risk and deliver a fully approved site.” The developer is expected to begin work immediately.

Braves stadium scores new food hall, open-air bar for ’25 season

Braves stadium scores new food hall, open-air bar for ’25 season

When a fresh Atlanta Braves season begins in a few weeks, fans will likely notice several changes to the gameday experience around the eight-year-old ballpark.
Those will include a new Truist Park food hall—dubbed the Outfield Market—and an open-air bar space adjacent to the famed Chop House, as team officials announced today.
Consisting of eight food stalls, the Outfield Market is scheduled to debut ahead of the Braves’ home opener on April 4. It’ll be located on the Right Field Concourse, directly across from another new feature: a lounge section called The Pen above the Braves bullpen in right field.
The food hall’s culinary roster has yet to be released, but team officials say it will “showcase flavors from across Braves Country and beyond.” (The Braves announced a regional search at the end of last season for fan-recommended grub from across the South.) Other food options will come from stadium catering partner Delaware North.
Other aspects will include a communal dining area, a 470-square-foot LED screen showing game action, and a Braves retail shop.

Meanwhile, a new open-air concept called Closer’s Bar will also be opening for this season. It’ll be situated adjacent to the Coors Light Chop House (just inside the Chop House Gate). Expect “an elevated cocktail menu with rotating signature drinks” alongside a new custom mural, per team officials.
Another significant change will be found at Left Field Plaza, where the reimagined, expanded family amenity that is Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Park will be in full swing by the time games at The Battery Atlanta resume. Officials have said that space will accommodate more than twice as many families as the former Hope & Will’s Sandlot area.
Other investments outside the walls of the MLB ballpark include a crop of office and residential buildings now finishing construction or rising up.

Report: Atlanta’s first e-bike rebate program is working
Report: Atlanta’s first e-bike rebate program is working
Report: Atlanta’s first e-bike rebate program is working
Josh Green
Mon, 02/24/2025 – 13:42
If traffic in Atlanta seems a little bit lighter these days—okay fine, it doesn’t. But if it did, we might all have e-bikes to thank.
Back in June, Atlanta became the first city in Georgia—and just the third in the Southeast, alongside Tampa and Raleigh—to offer an e-bike rebate program. The goal was to help ease a shift from car-dependent travel for Atlantans, cut back on transportation costs, and make e-bike ownership more affordable for a broader swath of society.
Rebates were funded by a $1 million commitment from Atlanta City Council and administered by the Atlanta Regional Commission. Advocacy group Propel ATL led communal outreach efforts.
Eight months later, ARC officials say those e-bike rebates redeemed by a total of 579 Atlanta residents are paying dividends in numerous ways.
Rebate recipients report they’re opting for two wheels more often than four, reducing car trips to school or work by about 40 percent, according to an ARC survey. Nearly three quarters of them—74 percent—report riding their new e-bikes at least two days per week.
Some other key findings of the Atlanta E-Bike Rebate Program 2024 Year-End Report:
• Low and moderate-income Atlantans primarily benefited. Per ARC, 82 percent of rebate funds (that’s higher than the target 75 percent) were redeemed by income-qualified city dwellers earning 80 percent of the area median income or less.
• The 12 participating local bike shops benefited—to the tune of $1.2 million in bike and accessory sales for shops operating in the city.
• Roughly one-third (or 194 recipients) opted for cargo e-bikes designed to carry additional passengers and weight.
All told, 11,065 Atlantans applied for an e-bike rebate—that’s about 2 percent of the city’s total population—and recipients were picked from nearly every neighborhood in town, according to ARC officials.

One rebate recipient, Southwest Atlanta resident LaMiiko Moore (pictured top left above), called her cargo e-bike a commute-altering “game-changer” that she uses to transport her daughter around, visit friends, and run errands to the grocery store and other places.
“I still have my car, but it now seems ridiculous to drive short distances when I can just hop on my e-bike,” Moore told the ARC. “I ride four to five times a week. Being on an e-bike helps you discover things that you’ll fly by in a car. It helps you see things differently.”
Bennett Foster, ARC’s managing director of mobility services, said the rebate program exceeded expectations overall and that ARC “would be thrilled to help administer another phase… should funding become available in the future.” (Hint hint, city council).
Qualified Atlanta residents were eligible to receive $1,500 rebates for standard e-bikes, or $2,000 for the larger cargo e-bikes. (Americans generally spend around $2,000 on their first e-bike purchase, according to eBicycles.)
By our math, the average rebate recipient in Atlanta’s inaugural program received more than $1,700.
“The recipients truly reflect our community,” said Atlanta Mayor and ARC board chairman Andre Dickens in an announcement. “They include students looking for cost-effective rides to class, parents juggling kids and a job, and older adults seeking recreation and community.”

63-Parcel Durham Assemblage to Become Rental Community
63-Parcel Durham Assemblage to Become Rental Community
A group of property owners is working together on a 402-unit apartment community in Durham. The property, off Hoover Road west of Interstate 885, was assembled over the years, including several much smaller pieces. The property owners include John Warasila, founding principal of Alliance Architecture.
The land is 63 parcels totaling 23.2 acres along Hoover Road, Sater Street, Creasy Street, Hilltop Drive, Felix Street and Miami Boulevard. The group has been assembling the properties since 2019.
The Triangle Business Journal reports that of the 23 acres, just 12 are developable, as the property includes wetlands and a stream. The vacant land has become a dumping ground and the property owners have spent $60,000 to clean up the site.
In addition to the apartment units, 25 percent of the property will be townhomes. Twenty percent of the property will be open space. Five percent of rental units will be designated affordable to residents earning 60 percent of the area median income.

Belk Adding Outlet Concept to NC Stores
Belk Adding Outlet Concept to NC Stores
Belk is incorporating its outlet concept in two of its Atlanta stores. The Charlotte-based retailer will bring that concept to Eastridge Mall in Gastonia and Triangle Town Center Mall in Raleigh.
Both sites have existing two-floor Belk locations. Plans call for converting the ground level into outlet space, while Traditional Belk stores will continue to operate on the second level. Both outlet stores are targeted for a spring opening.
With the opening of the outlet concept at Northlake Mall in Charlotte, Belk now has three outlet locations in North Carolina. The Charlotte Business Journal reports the outlet stores carry high-end, national designer brands as well as Belk’s brands marked down 60% to 85%. Belk has opened 17 outlet locations and 300 stores nationwide.
Belk underwent a restructuring in July 2024. The move cut nearly $1 billion in debt and secured $485 million in new capital.

A year and ½ after breaking ground, an 11-building multifamily project that aims to capitalize on job growth and fewer new rental options in Atlanta’s eastern suburbs has started to debut.
Atlanta-based developer Brook Farm Group has delivered the first two residential buildings and a large clubhouse at The Sinclair at Callaway Farm, a Covington venture where leasing has begun in what project officials have called a “dynamic growth corridor.”
Set on 39 acres with ponds and mature trees, The Sinclair project will eventually count 388 apartments marketed as Class A and uniquely luxurious for the area.
The site is just north of Interstate 20 about eight miles southeast of area landmark Georgia International Horse Park, between Covington and Social Circle. It’s adjacent to a 180-acre mixed-use development called Covington Town Center.
Monthly rents start $1,599, which gets one bedroom and one bathroom in 652 square feet. Two-bedroom apartments with two bathrooms start at $1,995 monthly for 999 square feet.
On the larger end, the three-bedroom, two-bathroom options in 1,287 square feet start at $2,445.
The Sinclair project will see two “Town and Country” neighborhoods rise with 11 different residential buildings, each blending contemporary design and what Brook Farm Group calls historic character that echoes Covington’s antebellum housing stock.
Other aspects include the 9,000-square-foot clubhouse called “best in class,” a resort-style pool, a dog park and pet spa, coworking space, two-story gym, and what’s described as the market’s first rooftop lounge. Four of the buildings will feature elevators for upper-level homes that overlook a tree canopy, developers note.
According to Brook Farm Group’s tabulation, the area is expected to attract 10,000 new jobs in coming years.
Developers cited growing major employers in the eastern suburbs around Covington—Takeda, SKC, and Cinelease’s 160-acre Three Ring Studio, along with new companies Rivian Automotive, 80 Acres Farms, Archer Aviation, and Ascend Elements—as a reason for investing in the area.
Rivian alone is expected to create 7,500 jobs about 10 miles down the road (provided a $6.6 billion loan from the Biden Administration materializes), while Archer Aviation is adding another 1,000 new jobs less than a mile from the apartments.
Several multifamily complexes have materialized in the Covington market in recent years—Crescent Communities’ Render Covington and Alliance Residential’s Prose Fairview among them—but The Sinclair project is aiming for a different customer.
“Many of these [other] communities have been purposefully developed with a more limited amenity offering and homes that are designed to appeal to a more cost-conscious resident,”
Eric Hade, Brook Farm’s chief investment officer, said in a statement. “We designed The Sinclair at Callaway Farm to raise the bar and appeal to residents seeking a differentiated, luxury residential community.”
Covington’s TV and film history tracing from The Dukes of Hazzard and In the Heat of the Night to Vampire Diaries has earned the city the nickname “The Hollywood of the South,” which developers pointed to as additional cachet.
The Sinclair’s location is about 30 miles from both downtown Atlanta and, to the west, Lake Oconee, a popular recreation attraction. First Horizon Bank and TrustMark Bank provided the project’s construction financing.

Images: 400-home project debuts in jobs hotspot east of Atlanta

A year and ½ after breaking ground, an 11-building multifamily project that aims to capitalize on job growth and fewer new rental options in Atlanta’s eastern suburbs has started to debut. Atlanta-based developer Brook Farm Group has delivered the first two residential buildings and a large clubhouse at The Sinclair at Callaway Farm, a Covington venture where leasing has begun in what project officials have called a “dynamic growth corridor.”Set on 39 acres with ponds and mature trees, The Sinclair project will eventually count 388 apartments marketed as Class A and uniquely luxurious for the area. The site is just north of Interstate 20 about eight miles southeast of area landmark Georgia International Horse Park, between Covington and Social Circle. It’s adjacent to a 180-acre mixed-use development called Covington Town Center.Monthly rents start $1,599, which gets one bedroom and one bathroom in 652 square feet. Two-bedroom apartments with two bathrooms start at $1,995 monthly for 999 square feet. On the larger end, the three-bedroom, two-bathroom options in 1,287 square feet start at $2,445.

The Sinclair project will see two “Town and Country” neighborhoods rise with 11 different residential buildings, each blending contemporary design and what Brook Farm Group calls historic character that echoes Covington’s antebellum housing stock. Other aspects include the 9,000-square-foot clubhouse called “best in class,” a resort-style pool, a dog park and pet spa, coworking space, two-story gym, and what’s described as the market’s first rooftop lounge. Four of the buildings will feature elevators for upper-level homes that overlook a tree canopy, developers note.According to Brook Farm Group’s tabulation, the area is expected to attract 10,000 new jobs in coming years. Developers cited growing major employers in the eastern suburbs around Covington—Takeda, SKC, and Cinelease’s 160-acre Three Ring Studio, along with new companies Rivian Automotive, 80 Acres Farms, Archer Aviation, and Ascend Elements—as a reason for investing in the area. Rivian alone is expected to create 7,500 jobs about 10 miles down the road (provided a $6.6 billion loan from the Biden Administration materializes), while Archer Aviation is adding another 1,000 new jobs less than a mile from the apartments. Several multifamily complexes have materialized in the Covington market in recent years—Crescent Communities’ Render Covington and Alliance Residential’s Prose Fairview among them—but The Sinclair project is aiming for a different customer. “Many of these [other] communities have been purposefully developed with a more limited amenity offering and homes that are designed to appeal to a more cost-conscious resident,” Eric Hade, Brook Farm’s chief investment officer, said in a statement. “We designed The Sinclair at Callaway Farm to raise the bar and appeal to residents seeking a differentiated, luxury residential community.”
