The latest edition of Charlotte Commercial Real Estate Whispers highlights emerging trends in Charlotte’s retail and hospitality sectors, featuring insights from local experts. Key themes include the rise of “eater-tainment,” where dining is combined with activities like pickleball, shifting customer expectations, and the migration of popular South End influences to suburban areas. The discussion also touches on how changing work patterns are reshaping neighborhood retail and the competitive landscape as new regional and out-of-market players enter Charlotte’s growing hospitality scene.
Additionally, the article notes ongoing developments such as the delayed Brooklyn Village project, where legal disputes hint at a looming default, alongside notable land deals and real estate news. For a deeper dive, readers are directed to a detailed conversation and a 30-page report titled the Charlotte Hospitality and Retail Guide 2025, which explores these trends and their implications for the city’s evolving commercial real estate market.
