Modera LoSo Mill Creek Residential has plans for a 351-unit apartment development at 3405 S. Tryon St. in lower South End (Mill Creek Residential)

CHARLOTTE — A Florida developer is quickly growing its pipeline of rental projects in the Charlotte area as it breaks ground on an apartment community in lower South End.

Boca Raton-based Mill Creek Residential has started demolition on the former Assistance League of Charlotte building at 3405 S. Tryon St. near Clanton Road to make way for a 351-unit apartment development, the company said. Mill Creek bought the 3-acre parcel for $14.05 million in late July, according to Mecklenburg County property records.

The site is about a half-mile walk to the Scaleybark light-rail station.

Units will have features such as stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops, tile backsplashes, hardwood-inspired floors, upgraded fixtures and cabinet pulls, designer lighting, keyless entry system, spacious bedrooms and large kitchen islands, Mill Creek said in a news release.
