Ascent Real Estate Capital and Centro Cityworks, which have joint-ventured on several projects around Charlotte, are expected to acquire the site, at 36th and McDowell streets, later this year. Ascent filed a rezoning petition on Wednesday to build up to 225 residential units and about 15,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space on the property.

The church is at 719 E. 36th St. It’s part of a 1.9-acre parcel up for rezoning that stretches between McDowell and Alexander streets, along 36th. The site up for rezoning includes the church facility as well as undeveloped land that has occasionally served as parking for the church.
