The River District in West Charlotte is continuing to expand as the city’s newest neighborhood. Medical offices are next for the $6 billion, 1,400-acre mixed-use redevelopment district.
A 35,000-square-foot outpatient healthcare campus is coming to the district, built by Charlotte developer Taylor Capital, according to Crescent Communities, the district’s master developer.
The campus will be on about four acres, and it’ll be the first dedicated medical office space in the district. The plan includes several standalone offices for physicians, specialty medical groups, and health systems, tink Crescent said Thursday.
The campus will also be near the River District’s town center, which already has development plans that include a farm, retail and housing. Taylor Capital is expected to close on the site next year and construction will begin in January 2028. The developer will be investing about $20 million in the project.
The River District is on the west side of the airport and Interstate 485 near the Catawba River. Development plans began in 2016 and since then it’s added houses, retail centers, people and a wooden troll.
The River District in West Charlotte is continuing to take shape. An outpatient medical campus is on the horizon. Here, a segment of the three-mile Forge Village Trail Loop, a walking and bicycle path, opened in May.
The medical offices are just the latest piece of infrastructure being added to the River District. A kindergarten through eighth grade school is being added to the district in partnership with Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools. It’ll be walking distance from a majority of the homes in the River District.
