First Project Completed at Former Eastland Mall Site
The old Eastland Mall is now called Eastland Yards, and the developer, Crosland Southeast, has delivered its first project. Evoke Living, a 72-unit, 55-and-up multifamily community, recently opened its doors in East Charlotte.
It has one- and two-bedroom apartments and includes a mix of market rate and affordable units priced for residents who earn between 30% and 80% of the area median income.
Evoke also has 6,000 square feet of tenant amenities across all four floors that include a lounge and coffee bar, fitness center, computer room, screened in patio, multipurpose room and rooftop terrace.
The Charlotte Business Journal reports Truist Financial Corp. contributed $25 million to the project.
The overall Eastland Yards project calls for 470 housing units, including Evoke and a mix of single-family homes, townhomes, and market-rate multifamily, some of which are currently under construction. Also planned are a 5-acre county-owned park, retail and restaurants.
