CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A joint venture comprising MRP Realty, Asana Partners and Rockefeller Group has received construction financing for Brooklyn & Church. The project will convert the former Duke Energy headquarters, located at 526 S. Church St. in Charlotte, into a 460-unit community with 57,000 square feet of retail space.
The Duke Energy headquarters was originally built in 1975. MRP Realty and Asana Partners acquired the building in 2022. The building’s core and shell will be preserved, but the façade will be reskinned with new windows and balconies.
Once converted, Brooklyn & Church will comprise 800,000 square feet across 13 stories. In addition to the apartments and ground-floor retail space, the property will offer a new three-story, 30,000 square-foot retail building at the corner of Church Street and Brooklyn Village Avenue. A 60-foot walkway will connect the apartments and retail.
Tenants will have access to amenities such as a rooftop deck and pool with grilling stations, fitness center and spa space, coworking space, bike room and a dog run with pet spa.
