Crescent confirmed Wednesday that it expects to build about 340 apartments and "complementary" retail space as part of the LoSo Station development that Charlotte real estate firm Beacon Partners is leading, near the Lynx Blue Line Scaleybark Station. Pre-submittal documents for Novel LoSo were filed with the city for part of a 15-acre greenfield site that fronts South Boulevard and the Scaleybark Station.

"We look forward to working alongside Beacon Partners to turn the long-standing vision for a walkable and transit-oriented mixed-use community serving the Lower South End neighborhood a reality," Crescent said in a statement.
