Focus on Opportunity Zones: Link Apartments℠ NODA 36th to Welcome First Residents

By Grubb Properties Development Team

With colorful, wish-filled clouds covering the walls of the parking garage, Link Apartments℠ NODA 36th is already a Charlotte landmark. And it’s about to make some wishes come true, with pre-leasing launched and the first residents prepared to move into their new apartments later this fall.

Located at the corner of 36th St. and the light rail on the former site of the Herrin Bros. Coal & Ice facility, Link Apartments℠ NODA 36th features 292 units in its first phase. Like all Link Apartments℠ communities, it will provide essential housing for Charlotte, targeted to those in the middle of the income spectrum.

The community’s emphasis on alternative transportation will aid residents who want to live without a car or simply reduce their car usage. Located next to the 36th Street light rail station, residents will have easy transport access to UNC Charlotte, the central business district, and South End, while bikers will enjoy the fully equipped Link Cycle Center and access to the Little Sugar Creek Greenway.  And of course, all the restaurants, entertainment, retail, cultural venues, and nightlife of NoDa are just a short walk or scooter ride away. 

Community amenities include a saltwater pool and sundeck, a clubhouse with a game room and event kitchen, two resident courtyards, a dog wash station, and a 24/7 gym and yoga studio. Apartments include granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, large closets, high ceilings, and energy-efficient appliances and HVAC systems.

In honor of the artistic legacy of the NoDa neighborhood, artist Elizabeth Palmisano is currently completing the NoDa Cloud Wall, a 23-000 square foot multi-dimensional mural covering the three exterior walls of the parking deck. The fabricated clouds include the handwritten wishes of neighbors, collected at numerous wish-gathering events held over the past year.

The property is located in an Opportunity Zone and is owned by the Link Apartments Opportunity Zone REIT.
