CHARLOTTE — The city is moving forward with Gateway Station’s private development team. But there’s still little sign of progress on the uptown project that is proposed as a mixed-use development anchored by a new Amtrak station and transit hub.

The Spectrum Cos. and Republic Land Development formed the Charlotte Gateway Partners alliance in 2020, when state and local government selected them as master developers.

That doesn’t mean there’s movement forward on any aspect of the development of the 20-acre site in a corridor bisected by West Trade and South Graham streets and bracketed by Third and Fifth streets.
