Overview

Ballantyne is a 2,000-acre, master planned community located in the heart of south Charlotte. Several decades ago, the Bissell and Harris families envisioned an environment where a diverse population could find opportunities for housing, retail and employment – all within a 10-minute drive. Created on family farmland, the master developers invested in a strong infrastructure to ensure at its inception that Ballantyne would be a sustainable community.

In the early 1990s and again in 2011, the master developers submitted zoning proposals that collectively represent the largest rezoning in Mecklenburg County’s history. When completed, Ballantyne will include up to:

• 6,600,000 square feet of office
• 5,200 residential units
• 500,000 square feet of retail
• 1,000 hotel rooms
• One public school site
• 16 miles of bike paths & walking trails

Today, Ballantyne is recognized as one of the most successfully designed and executed mixed use communities in the nation. Recently, Ballantyne was recognized as one of America’s Top 5 residential searches. The original vision is being realized, as Ballantyne connects homes, offices, hotels, golf and other recreational outlets to build a comprehensive and convenient lifestyle.
