7214 Lawyers Road ~1-acre redevelopment parcel on a high-growth corridor
Approximately 1-acre parcel on Lawyers Road in the high-growth East Charlotte corridor, with similar density potential to nearby sites using N2-B zoning.
Parcel
Land
0.974 acres (approximately 42,418 sq ft). Approximately 136′ of frontage on Lawyers Road, roughly 319′ deep.
Public record
Parcel ID 135-013-12 in the Mecklenburg County tax and GIS systems. Boundary survey and plat available through the county GIS portal (POLARIS).
Zoning
Currently single-family residential. A rezoning to N2-B is the natural play given the corridor trajectory; no entitlement work has been undertaken on this parcel.
N2-B is Charlotte's neighborhood district intended for multi-family dwellings — including attached and stacked units — while still allowing lower-intensity residential like single-family and duplex. It serves as a transition between less-intense residential areas and higher-intensity mixed-use centers.
Corridor
Lawyers Road is part of the broader Independence Boulevard growth submarket in east Charlotte. The corridor has seen sustained absorption of attached-residential and small-lot multifamily product as Charlotte's housing demand has pushed development outward from uptown.
The aerial shows the parcel's setting at a glance: a roughly one-acre lot with road frontage on Lawyers Road, directly adjacent to an attached-residential development of similar scale to what comparable corridor sites are being marketed for.
Adjacent comp
The adjacent 2± acre Lawyers Rd site is currently being marketed as a 19-unit townhome development site, positioned as a medium-density redevelopment opportunity on the same corridor.
Submarket
East Charlotte continues to absorb attached-residential product at price points below the uptown and South End submarkets, with access to the Independence Boulevard arterial and the broader Mecklenburg employment base.
Buyer profile
Small to mid-size developers pursuing attached residential product (townhomes, attached single-family, low-rise multifamily); investors building corridor assemblages; builders seeking shovel-adjacent inventory.
The opportunity
7214 offers two clean paths for a developer or investor.
Single-lot redevelopment
Pursue a rezoning to a medium-density classification consistent with the corridor trajectory, and develop a small attached-residential project on the 1-acre site.
Assemblage
Combine 7214 with one or more adjacent parcels to create a larger development tract on Lawyers Road, with the scale advantages that come with it.
