MRP Realty, Asana Partners and the Rockefeller Group announced the first joint venture between their firms and the final close of funding for the Brooklyn & Church redevelopment. The partnership closed with lenders on construction financing for the conversion of the former Duke Energy headquarters located at 526 S. Church Street in Charlotte. When completed, the project will consist of 460 apartments and 57,000 square feet of retail.

The first conversion of office to mixed-use in Charlotte, the 800,000-square-foot building will repurpose the 1970s office tower into loft-style apartments with ground-floor retail and a new three-story, 30,000-square-foot retail building at the corner of Church Street and Brooklyn Village Avenue. 

Brooklyn & Church will rise thirteen stories and provide modern industrial loft-style living and balconies. The building’s core and shell will be preserved, and the façade will be completely reskinned, providing new glass windows and spacious balconies.
