Charterwood Ok By Planning Board

Charterwood, a mixed-use development proposed for Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard
The proposed project includes six buildings with up to 154 condos and townhouses and 73,000-sqft of office and retail space on 15.7-acres

The tallest building is proposed to be six stories, or 78 feet tall, about the same height as Aloft Hotel in East 54. The Chapel Hill Planning Board voted 7-1 to recommend approval of the project, but only if the maximum height was reduced to 54 feet.

Because neighbors have presented a valid protest petition, the project will require a three-quarters majority of council votes for approval. The petition presented by neighbors of the project represents owners of 43 percent of the property within a 100-foot buffer of the proposed rezoning.

University Square Redevelopment Changes Proposed

The Mixed Use Development being studied by Cousins Properties located at 123 West Franklin Street, has been changed with public input. The existing Granville Towers student housing is not being included, leaving half the 12-acre site available to use. The goal has always been to better integrate the entire site into a more pedestrian friendly downtown, thus razing the retail portions is the focus now.

The 3 new buildings would include:
40,000-sqft of retail space
275,000-sqft of office space
90,000-sqft of flex-space
150,000-sqft of additional apartments
1,000-space underground parking garage
