Which one of these areas will see the most efficient growth and offer the most amenities by 2025?
South Park (Charlotte)
The Gulch (Nashville)
West Midtown (Atlanta) * this includes Atlantic station area over to Howell Mill area. Don’t compare whole midtown*
North Hills ( Raleigh)
That’s such a large and nice development for a city in Raleigh’s tier, it’s crazy how people constantly say Raleigh has no “big city” vibe. That looks like any development that would be in Dallas, Houston or here in Atlanta.
I haven’t spent much time in Nashville, but that’s definitely better than most of the developments and Charlotte, and gives us here a run for its money. When is all of that supposed to be complete?
North Hills is alright, but it reminds me of The Battery. A slim island of urbanity in the middle of suburbia with no transit connections. Perimeter is putting an entire mixed use development next to a train station so I’d even put Perimeter ahead of NH.
The midtown expansion is inching closer to completion, the Innovation District is over the next two years. The Exchange is constructing its first tower (one-half of the bridge building) now but will take longer to finish all of it, likely 2030. The North Hills developer is also looking to expand elsewhere there, but he is also working on Downtown South development so any future NH development would likely be end of this decade.
Unfortunately it is the future development where the bus station for the upcoming BRT would be housed. So while Raleigh absorbs the growth coming at Midtown, the newest transit solutions will take time beyond the 2025 timeframe.

Umm I’m an Atlantan, and we aren’t comparing it to perimeter, I picked West Midtown specifically ( a place here that is rapidly growing like North Hills). This isn’t like the battery, the projections seem much larger than what’s intended for Braves stadium. This looks like a bigger Avalon ( Alpharetta) in the core of a city.
I’d say West Midtown by default tbh. North Hills and SouthPark are nice but seem suburban even though they’re starting to get urban development and there and the gulch is just a gentrified ditch. It doesn’t really have the expanse to be compared to West Midtown.

SouthPark is the 2nd largest business district in the state. That looks ok but that is a regular development in the suburban areas of Charlotte and Atlanta. There are much better urban developments in Charlotte, Atlanta, and Nashville...

Did you go the website Tarheel posted? That doesn’t look like a regular development in Charlotte…. or even here. Like I said it reminds me of larger Avalon here in Alpharetta, that is more urban-adjacent.
And that’s not me hating on Charlotte, the few that have voted picked North Hills over SouthPark. Being an office park alone isn’t going to notch a win here.
Maybe you can provide a video or pics of Southpark. I do know Southpark mall has more offerings than North Hills for high end fashion, but I would much rather LIVE in North Hills.

Where is this from? By office space or employee base?
