CHARLOTTE, NC - Premiere East Coast developer Jefferson Apartment Group (JAG) has delivered J Optimist Park, a 350-unit luxury multifamily development in Charlotte, North Carolina. This distinctive 6-story mid-rise is located in the popular Optimist Park neighborhood, adjacent to the trendy Optimist Hall food hall and just outside the Uptown business district.
Located on 5 acres at 1130 N. College Street, J Optimist Park features red-brick and ironwork details that reflect the neighborhood's origins as a mill village and railroad hub for the textile industry in the early 20th century.
"J Optimist Park checks all the boxes for successful multifamily. In addition to being in a strong market for job growth, it's close to transit and has best-in-class amenities," said Greg Van Wie, JAG Senior Vice President and Development Partner. "Every aspect was thoughtfully designed to reflect and respect the rich history of our Mill District location."
J Optimist Park offers 1- and 2-bedroom units ranging from 523 to 1,197 square feet, some with private balconies and views of Uptown. All residences feature top-line finishes, including plank flooring, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and tile backsplashes.
