Raleigh-Durham envy, many in Charlotte suffer from that
disease. Just look at the lead that area has over Charlotte when it comes
to Higher Education, Chapel Hill, NC State, Duke just to name a few.
Charlotte has slowly been planning to make a name for itself
in education. Downtown Charlotte has added Johnson & Wales, UNCC
Uptown Classroom Building, Northeastern University and the Wake Forest Graduate
School in just the past 15 years. Tack on to that Johnson C Smith
University just up Trade Street on the west side, and CPCC on the east side of
Trade Street.
Recently announced is the impending addition of about
150,000 sq ft of classroom space at Gateway for the young Charlotte School of
Law in anticipation of a much larger move by that organization. Queens
College is slated to take the current Federal Courthouse located on Trade
Street by Mint and develop their own Law Degree.
Our hospitals are also petitioning the state to allow the
formation of a Medical College in Charlotte. This is a lot of activity
all going on in a short time period. As this growth takes place, it will
contribute to the rise in property values in the downtown market.
