BUSINESS is BOOMING
Moving Economics
Tightening housing supply and increased unit demand have
accelerated multi-family construction market-wide; however, this is
especially evident in neighborhoods near the expanding LYNX Light
Rail system. $1.6B in development has already occurred along the
existing light rail corridor. The trendy and artistic North Davidson
(NoDa) neighborhood is a prime example of the role the light rail
has played in recent economic development. In addition to an evergrowing variety of trendy shops and restaurants and NoDa’s 50+
bars, NoDa is home to a number events like gallery crawls, outdoor
movies, and arts and farmers markets. Even prior to completion, this
neighborhood has flourished and reaped the benefits of the city’s light
rail and greenway plans.
Multi-Family Fundamentals
Charlotte has historically been a suburban, commuter city; however,
tremendous development, public investment in infrastructure, and
cultural enhancement in recent years have driven strong population
growth and job increases within the CBD as well as its outlying
neighborhoods. Existing developments continue an upward trend with
a posted rent growth of 2.6% over the past twelve months while the
average vacancy rate remains healthy at 4.3% market-wide. In 2013, the
city of Charlotte experienced an annual population increase of 2.6%,
which is more than double the state of North Carolina’s average of
1.0%. People continue to flock to Charlotte given the attraction among
various socioeconomic groups, current employment announcements,
and phenomenal infrastructure and community development efforts.

MARKET COMMENTARY
Charlotte is the largest city in North Carolina and the 17th largest in the
U.S. The Charlotte MSA is driven by broad-based job growth, and has
emerged as the primary energy, transportation, and healthcare hub
of the region. Although Charlotte is still the second largest banking
center in the country behind New York City, insurance, healthcare and
technology companies have reinforced the local economy. In fact, in
2014, Yahoo Finance named Charlotte the number 1 best city for high
pay and low expenses.
