CHARLOTTE, NC – August 5, 2024 – MECA Commercial Real Estate, a leading commercial real estate firm that has served the Carolinas and beyond for over 70 years, today announced the successful facilitation of a significant land acquisition to support affordable housing initiatives in Charlotte. Gantt Howell, Senior Advisor at MECA Commercial Real Estate, represented Habitat for Humanity of the Charlotte Region in acquiring over 5 acres of land on Allen Road South. Bryan Butler, another Senior Advisor at MECA, represented the seller.
The project will consist of up to 50 for-sale residential units with a blend of single-family homes, duplexes, and triplexes. The timeline to begin construction has not been determined. This acquisition addresses the growing need for affordable home ownership in Charlotte, aligning with Habitat for Humanity’s mission to build homes, communities, and hope.
