Luxury condo project gets underway in Eastover neighborhood

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Work is underway to bring a six-story, luxury condominium building to Charlotte’s Eastover neighborhood. Called The Regent at Eastover, the project marks the first in Charlotte for Florida-based developer The Lutgert Cos.

The demolition of existing structures on the property, which sits near the corner of Cherokee Road and South Laurel Avenue, off Providence Road, began in the first week of January and should conclude by the end of February. Construction should start in June and wrap up after 18 months, said Michael Hoyt, Lutgert’s senior vice president of development, at a groundbreaking event on Friday.

The Regent at Eastover will house 34 high-end condos that range from 2,447 to 2,994 square feet. Floor plans will include either three bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms or three bedrooms plus a den and that same bathroom count. In addition, there will be four penthouses on the top floor encompassing 3,395 to 3,729 square feet.
