The next phase of redevelopment efforts at Charlotte s Camp North End will feature concepts from four local Black architects.Their designs incorporate the site s current elements as well as the city s history.
Skyscrapers. High-rise apartment buildings. Announcements about corporate headquarters moving in. It’s easy to focus on what’s new in Charlotte.
So easy, in fact, that sometimes the city’s history can sometimes get drowned out by the rush to the future.
Camp North End is one of several sites across the city going in a different direction. To a degree, it’s new. And it’s certainly hip. But it’s also old, a former industrial complex in the shadow of uptown now teeming with food stalls, art studios and gathering spaces. The reclamation project doesn’t shy from its manufacturing past, with elements of its history proudly displayed.

Twenty-four submissions for the design competition were narrowed to 10, and on Wednesday, four winners were announced.
