Childress Klein has been greenlighted to convert a Charlotte office complex into a mixed-use project. The company was granted a rezoning by the towns City Council on the Esplanade at SouthPark from office to a zoning classification that will allow up to 675 multifamily units and 277,000 square feet of office space. 

That number includes 77,000 square feet of existing office space, according to the site plan.

The Charlotte Business Journal reports Childress Klein acquired the 213,000-square-foot office property at 2101 Rexford Road, in June 2023 for $31 million. The development was built in 1982 and renovated in 2015. 

The development site includes Rexford Park II, a 77,000-square-foot office building at 2115 Rexford Road. That building will remain.

The new project is expected to include four total buildings, as well as outdoor amenity areas and green space.
