UPTOWN
Uptown Charlotte's nickname "Center City" is accurate, as this is the point from which all the neighborhoods, destinations & surrounding suburban towns revolve. The Charlotte skyline is highlighted by several iconic skyscrapers, such as the Bank of America Corporate Center, Duke Energy Center, Hearst Tower, One Wells Fargo Center & more. This is the hub for the cities finance, government, culture & much more. All this hustle & bustle of business merges seamlessly with thriving urban living options. Apartments complexes like Skyhouse Uptown, Vue, Loft One35, along with luxury condos like Avenue, Venue, Skye & many more are sprinkled among office buildings, hotels & restaurants. Home to not only residents but the Carolina Panthers (Bank of America Stadium), the Charlotte Hornets (Spectrum Center) & the Charlotte Knights (BB&T Ballpark). Nestled amongst the towering buildings are lush green parks & stunning works of art representing the culture that pulls this city together. While work may be the beating pulse of Uptown during the day, the evening offers for a little more playful rhythm with restaurants, rooftop patios & vibrant entertainment.
