There are approximately 87,000 square-feet of entertainment and retail amenities. Incorporated within the multi-family housing are 93 tuck-under townhomes, and 253 three and four story stacked flats.

This three- and four-story apartment project yields 35 units to the acre, with 344 units over two levels of subterranean parking.

Exteriors maintain a traditional quality and character with sizes ranging from 485 sq.ft. to 1,285 sq.ft.

The success of this mixed use center is attributed to a supportive redevelopment agency and innovative design concept. As an anchor for the city’s commercial core, this self-supportive, high-intensity redevelopment is the perfect example of synergy where the overall sum of the project equals more than the individual parts. With a variety of amenities – fitness center, restaurants, retail- and plus size level parking structure, Charter Center offers a much needed business and entertainment center with a 24-hour vitality.
