The joint venture took control of the distressed property in 2012, after purchasing its debt in late 2010. Following the purchase, the partnership worked to stabilize the property, which now boasts a 94 percent rent roll and a highly successful outdoor media program.<\/p>\n<p>Located in Uptown Charlotte, EpiCentre is the Queen City\u2019s premier restaurant and entertainment retail venue. It benefits from a very advantageous location: right across from the Time Warner Cable Arena, on South College Street. The EpiCentre is also part of Charlotte\u2019s Overstreet Mall which connects it to seven office buildings, among them the iconic the Bank of America and the Wells Fargo Headquarters.  Built in 2008, the center is comprised of 255,512 square feet of retail\/entertainment space and 49,336 square feet of office space.  Boasting a 94 percent occupancy rate, EpiCentre\u2019s tenant roster includes CVS, Studio Movie Grill, Blackfinn American Saloon, Gold\u2019s Gym and 16 additional restaurants.<\/p>\n<p>Founded in 1998, Vision Ventures is a well-capitalized acquisition, brokerage, construction and development company. Mount Vernon Asset Management is an institutional investor servicer, providing asset management services and strategies for turning ill-performing assets into high-level performers.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.multihousingnews.com\/market-data\/market-snapshot-charlotte-apartment-market-on-the-rise-sales-rents-and-vacancies-to-climb-in-2014\/1004100679.html\" rel=\"nofollow\" >Click here<\/a> for further Charlotte market data<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Image courtesy of EpiCentre via Facebook<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HFF announced closing the sale of The EpiCenter a 305,147-square-foot mixed-use entertainment in Charlotte&rsquo;s city center.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1582,21742],"tags":[1815],"class_list":["post-1004096701","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-charlotte","category-latest","tag-national"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.0 (Yoast SEO v28.0) -
