Brooklyn Village

Mecklenburg County commissioners heard Wednesday night from the developer behind a long-delayed project the county pinned its hopes on to revive a big slice of uptown. It’s been more than eight years since county commissioners voted to partner with the Peebles Corporation to build Brooklyn Village. Peebles has blamed rising costs and interest rates for the yearslong delay in construction. The company now plans to start vertical construction on the first 552 apartments by June 2026.
