Out with the old 'EpiCentre' Uptown In with the New 'Queen City Quarter'

Over the next year or so Charlotte's once night life EpiCentre will be transformed into a more upscale family friendly evironment.

• Ongoing repairs to the courtyard, parking garage, patios and roof — all to be completed by the end of the year

• Renovations to the public staircases and escalators in 2023

• New landscaping, lighting and benches

• Fresh paint in the common areas

• Removal of former tenants’ signs

• An upgraded camera system that produces clearer images, replacing outdated technology. There is also now a 24/7 control room, and 12 to 20 security personnel on site at a time with the authority to arrest criminal suspects. CBRE is also working closely with CMPD and Center City Partners, Jones says.

The EpiCentre had its highs and lows since opening in 2008, from surviving the Great Recession to hosting events for the Democratic National Convention. It’s a prime location within walking distance to Charlotte’s largest attractions, but that also puts it in proximity to violent crime and protests that left glass shattered and a shadow cast on the property, especially in recent years, Charlotte magazine wrote.

• In 2010, the complex owner declared bankruptcy, and the developer gave up ownership in 2012. The bank is now its third owner.
