Wood Partners will break ground on Village Park, a 372-unit multifamily community in Charlotte, in November 2026. The project is slated to open in May 2028.
Why it matters
The development adds new rental supply in the Highland Creek and Prosperity Church area of Charlotte, including a set-aside of affordable units for households earning up to 80% of the area median income. Its site next to an existing Wood Partners community and direct access to Interstate 485 position it within the city's growing residential corridor.
The project includes one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments plus six two-bedroom, two-bathroom carriage-house units, with five percent of homes designated as affordable. Monthly rents and the exact affordable unit count have not been disclosed.

Community Build-Out
Village Park sits immediately next to Prosperity Village, a community Wood Partners previously developed, extending that earlier project onto the neighboring parcel. The development continues the pattern of multifamily growth along the Prosperity Church Road corridor in Charlotte's northeast.
Renters looking at the Highland Creek and Prosperity Church area will have a new 372-unit option when Village Park opens in May 2028. Households earning up to 80% of area median income may qualify for the 5% of homes reserved as affordable housing.
The takeaway
Renters tracking Charlotte's northeast corridor should note the 2028 timeline and the affordable set-aside, and check with the developer as leasing details are announced.
