Southern Apartment Group, a major player in the Metrolina multifamily market, has announced the relocation of its corporate headquarters to the rehabbed historic Grinnell Water Works Building.
The new location at 1435 West Morehead Street presents additional space accommodating the company’s growth. The 85-year-old structure, a former branch office and manufacturing warehouse for the Grinnell Water Works sprinkler system company has been renovated to its historic look, featuring exposed brick walls, sizeable windows and lofty ceilings. Its location, off the West Morehead Corridor in Charlotte’s “FreeMoreWest” neighborhood provides not only views of the Queen City skyline, but also close proximity to Uptown Charlotte and a central location to Southern Apartment Group’s Charlotte metro projects.
The company’s projects include Crescent Dilworth, a $50 million 300-unit luxury residential project being developed in partnership with Crescent Communities (read more about the project here).
Other Southern Apartment Group projects in Metrolina include the 700-bed UNC Charlotte student housing community currently under construction in partnership with Inland American Communities Group, Inc., the $25 million 240-unit Mountain Island Lake in suburban Charlotte, the $40 million 300-unit West Morehead in downtown Charlotte and Sharon West Road, a $4 million 30-unit South Charlotte community set to break ground in 2014.
