History of Ballantyne Area Charlotte NC
The Ballantyne area in South Charlotte was developed by H.C. “Smoky” Bissell of the Bissell Compnies in 1996, on 2,000 acres centered around the intersection of Highway 521 and Ballantyne Commons Parkway. Ballantyne was truly a visionary development by Mr. Bissell, in that the entire area was developed totally on speculation – not a single contract was written with a single business prior to construction. Today, Ballantyne accounts for $1.9 billion in tax value, and zip code 28277 (in which Ballantyne is located) accounts for $9 billion in tax value. Ballantyne Corporate park, a mixed-use development of Class A commercial property, has over 3.5 million square feet of office space, and houses 29 Fortune 500 companies. Within a one-mile radius of the office park is over 2,500 housing units, with an average property value of $388,000! Ballantyne Village features wonderful restaurants, spas, the spectacular Regal Ballantyne Village Stadium 5 Theater, jewelry, YMCA, Jesse Brown’s Adventures, and many other fine retail establishments.
Ballantyne Real Estate Market
Since its inception in 1996, Ballantyne has been a target area for many families seeking beautiful homes on large lots, easy acces to shopping, dining and recreation, golf and tennis, and great public schools. Ballantyne real estate has rebounded nicely from the real estate recession, with average home sales prices increasing and market absorption rate of less than 3 months, which indicates a strong sellers market (as of 8/31/2015). The Bissell Companies is currently seeking to expand Ballantyne, with a proposed 520 acre project that will add 1 million square feet of office space, 200 hotel rooms, and 600 housing units. Hardly the work of a developer who fears economic stagnation.
