Charlotte Airport, Crosland Exploring Development Options
Crosland Southeast has been chosen by the Charlotte Douglas International Airport to move forward on a deal to develop the city-owned Destination District Central property.
Destination District Central spans nearly 40 acres at Wilkinson Boulevard and North Josh Birmingham Parkway. The project would likely include multiple phases initially focused on retail and hospitality development.
Early plans call for 50,000 square feet of retail and two hotels totaling 300 rooms.
The Charlotte Business Journal reports the best case would see a groundbreaking there in early 2026. If a deal is reached and approved by City Council this winter, the entitlement process for the site would likely take 12 to 15 months.
Crosland has worked with the city before, developing a master plan of Eastland Yards. Crosland is also behind major mixed-use projects like Commonwealth in Plaza Midwood and Waverly in south Charlotte.
