Every residential building in Historic Fourth Ward, with what's verified

See also: the full 48-stop Fourth Ward Walking Tour — many of the buildings below are also walking tour stops, and the tour places them in the architectural and institutional history of the neighborhood.

Fourth Ward is one of the densest residential neighborhoods in Charlotte by building variety. The neighborhood holds Queen Anne historic homes, a 1929 pre-war concrete-and-steel condominium, a 1931 terracotta apartment building, a converted 1880 cotton mill, a 2010 fifty-one-story luxury tower, and several mid-rise and townhome complexes in between.

This page is the directory. Every residential building inside Historic Fourth Ward and its common-use boundary is listed below. Each entry is flagged by its verification status. Entries with individual Mercury Local building pages are linked. Entries without links are in the inventory — their individual pages will ship as primary-source verification completes.

Verification status key:

• ✅ Verified — address, unit count, and year built confirmed against primary sources; individual building page published.
• 🟡 Partially verified — address confirmed; unit count, year built, or HOA details pending Mecklenburg County records or management confirmation.
• ⚠️ Boundary case — address sits at the edge of Fourth Ward's historic-district or common-use footprint. Covered in the directory because residents and aggregator sites already place them here.
• ⭕ FOFW member HOA — also listed by Friends of Fourth Ward as an active member HOA per fourthwardclt.org.

Boundary cases

These addresses sit at the eastern and southern edges of Fourth Ward where the neighborhood meets First Ward or Uptown proper. They are part of the Fourth Ward resident's walking footprint but do not always appear on every Fourth Ward map.

Building	Address	Notes	Status

The Ascher Uptown	Between Uptown and Fourth Ward	pet-friendly, 24-hr concierge	⚠️ boundary
Cadence Music Factory	AvidXchange Music Factory area	saltwater pool	⚠️ boundary (likely outside FW)

Excluded / removed from Fourth Ward inventory

Buildings that appeared in the Fourth Ward Charlotte launch plan's inventory but that verification confirmed sit outside the neighborhood. Documented here transparently so readers can find the correction.

Building	Current name / address	Reason
Catalyst	2nd Ward	Not Fourth Ward. Listed here for disambiguation because the building is often confused with Fourth Ward addresses.
Crest Gateway	1025 W 6th Street	Not Fourth Ward. The building's own website (crestgateway.com) states it is "in Charlotte's Third Ward" and "in the heart of Uptown's Gateway Village." Launch plan had listed it as a Fourth Ward entry. Corrected.
Quarterside → Alister Uptown	810 E 7th Street	Not Fourth Ward. The building at 810 E 7th has been rebranded from Quarterside to Alister Uptown (operated by Mill Creek Residential). Multiple sources categorize it as First Ward, including Alister Uptown's own marketing as the "#1 First Ward Charlotte Apartment community." Launch plan had listed it as Fourth Ward. Corrected.

Why this directory exists

Fourth Ward's buildings are the reason the neighborhood has its character — the mix of 1890s Victorian, 1929 pre-war concrete, 1931 terracotta, 1880 cotton mill, mid-century townhome, and 2010 high-rise inside a few walkable blocks is not common in Charlotte and not common in the South. The directory exists to make every building findable, answer the basic questions (address, year, units, HOA), and eventually carry enough depth that "what's it like to live at ?" becomes a question with a real answer on this page instead of a listings aggregator's reconstruction.

As of launch, this directory documents all buildings in the inventory. Seventeen individual building pages are currently live: The VUE Charlotte, Camden Cotton Mills, Fourth Ward Square, 400 North Church, Park Plaza, Chapel Watch, 626 North Graham, 701 North Church, 715 North Church, Barringer Square, Settlers Place, Park Place, Hackberry Court, Tenth Avenue Townhomes, Hanover Place, Jefferson Square, and The Avenue. Others will follow as primary-source verification completes. For historic buildings (McNinch House, Frederick Apartments, The Poplar, Crowell-Berryhill Store), the Archivist is working with the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office file and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Historic Landmarks Commission records — those pages will ship when the primary sources are in hand.
