Ballantyne North Carolina Getting Its First Brewery
No doubt if you drive along 521 in the Ballantyne area, you noticed all the activity and construction. I, myself, wondered what the project might be. It’s all part of a growing development known as “The Bowl” at Ballantyne. And, this is where Ballantyne North Carolina is getting its first brewery. According to AXIOS, as part of “Ballantyne Reimagined,” Olde Mecklenburg Brewery broke ground on its second location. The location will feature 14,000 square feet of indoor space. In addition, the space plans a 7000 square foot patio and second level balcony overlooking a one acre biergarten. Developers say the space intends to be kid friendly with a family zone and playground. The South Charlotte zip code is really popular with more residents venturing to the suburbs. So, it makes sense that businesses follow the trend of going where the people are. “The Bowl,” a walkable mixed use neighborhood plans to focus on culture, food, community and sustainability.
Owned and operated Northwood bought the acreage several years ago for more than $1 billion. And, it’s exciting to see the progress in the locale. The “Ballantyne Reimagined” overhaul gives Ballantyne North Carolina residents and visitors easy access to even more spots to enjoy. Of course, with the proximity to I-485, the convenience is great. I, for one, love that it’s not too far from where we live. And, the South Carolina line is close as well. So, those of us who live across the line don’t have far to go to visit a second location of Old Mecklenburg Brewery. If you wonder exactly when this happens, Ballantyne North Carolina’s first brewery is scheduled to open in early 2024.
