Charlottetown Terrace

Charlotte, NC

Char­lot­te­town Ter­race was orig­i­nal­ly built by the Char­lotte Hous­ing Author­i­ty in 1977 as an 11-sto­ry high rise to pro­vide afford­able hous­ing to both seniors and the dis­abled. This apart­ment com­mu­ni­ty has now been des­ig­nat­ed as hous­ing for low-income, dis­abled res­i­dents of any age. The orig­i­nal struc­ture had 180 dilap­i­dat­ed apart­ments that no longer met today’s build­ing stan­dards. The ren­o­va­tion now pro­vides 161 apart­ment units and a ser­vice rich envi­ron­ment to the res­i­dents, while con­tribut­ing to the revi­tal­iza­tion of mid­town Char­lotte, NC. The ren­o­va­tions includ­ed full sys­tem upgrades (mechan­i­cal, plumb­ing, elec­tri­cal, fire and ele­va­tor), com­plete inte­ri­or upgrades/ refin­ish­ing, a win­dow sys­tem replace­ment and mul­ti­ple exte­ri­or upgrades and changes. Along with these ren­o­va­tions, two floors were com­plete­ly gut­ted and redesigned to house full-ser­vices and ameni­ties for the res­i­dents. Fur­ther­more, the Char­lot­te­town Ter­race ren­o­va­tion has secured anoth­er 40 years of afford­able rental hous­ing to low-income, dis­abled adults, and pro­vides an option for a healthy liv­ing envi­ron­ment to those in need. The res­i­dents will have access to local ameni­ties like Tar­get, Trad­er Joe’s gro­cery store, a revi­tal­ized park, and a bus stop, amongst oth­ers. Char­lot­te­town Ter­race has been award­ed LEED Gold estab­lished by the U.S. Green Build­ing Coun­cil (USGBC) and ver­i­fied by the Green Build­ing Cer­ti­fi­ca­tion Insti­tute (GBCI). With this LEED Cer­ti­fi­ca­tion, Char­lot­te­town Ter­race has the dis­tinc­tion of being the first LEED Gold for a 100% pub­lic hous­ing high-rise in the nation, first res­i­den­tial high-rise in North Car­oli­na, and the first cer­ti­fied LEED Gold project for CHA. The Char­lotte Hous­ing Author­i­ty chose to pur­sue this cer­ti­fi­ca­tion to doc­u­ment the exten­sive efforts under­tak­en to pro­vide an eco­nom­i­cal­ly and envi­ron­men­tal sus­tain­able com­mu­ni­ty for very low-income, dis­abled adults.
