Your usual guide through Charlotte real estate, Ashley Fahey, is off this week, so you’re stuck with me, Tony Mecia, captaining today’s edition of Charlotte Commercial Real Estate Whispers. We’re keeping our ears on the chatter and trends that in-the-know people in Charlotte are talking about to keep you informed about growth and development. Got a tip or a question on something you see out there? Or info on a deal, a development or a debacle that you have to tell someone about? You can drop me a line, or send it to Ashley. She’ll be back next week.
You can add and drop newsletters from The Charlotte Ledger — including this one — on your “Manage Your Subscriptions” page.
