Relocating to Charlotte NC?

Debe Maxwell (Helen Adams Realty) — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 17:46:37 -0600

Moving to Charlotte NC? Economics are a major advantage that Charlotte has over other cities--it's just a great place to live, work and play!

C harlotte was perceived, many years ago as a textile center and now, a banking center. While Charlotte remains proud of the industries with which it has been associated over the years, this small, segmented stereotype sells the city's economy short. Charlotte boasts a vibrant, balanced economy that encompasses many sectors, as well as companies that range in size from microbusiness to multinational. Charlotte's economy is easily one of the healthiest and strongest in the nation. Diverse business interests shelter Charlotte from side effects resulting from slowdowns in certain sectors, corporate mergers and buyouts and other economic challenges. Our solid based economy facilitates exceptionally strong growth during economic upswings.

Companies considering a relocation to Charlotte find other advantages in this broad-based economy as well. Supplies and services are abundant and convenient, costs for wages, benefits and labor overhead, such as worker's compensation, unemployment and health insurance coverage, are significantly lower than in other regions of the country. An unusually rich quality of life, with ample opportunity for companies and executives who wish to actively participate in making this city an even better place to live and work is available as well.

According to recent Employment Security Commission figures, employment in Mecklenburg County is now distributed among all major business sectors. The 565,415 persons employed in the county last year were dispursed as follows:

54,303- finance and insurance
58,773- retail trade
37,059- wholesale trade
34,391- manufacturing
19,378- information

Now, that's quite diverse for one county! Mecklenburg County offers 63 percent of the total employment in the Charlotte region. Charlotte Metro area claims 778,398 jobs, with more than 116,702 of those created since 1998.

Charlotte ranks 6th nationally in number of Fortune 500 headquartered companies. It also is home to operations for 328 companies listed in the Fortune 500. Charlotte-Mecklenburg's largest employers represent many sectors, including health care, government services, education, banking and finance, transportation, retail, telecommunications, and manufacturing. The city boasts many corporate headquarters, including Bank of America, Duke Energy, Sonic Automotive, SPX, Nucor and Goodrich Corporations, Lowe's and Family Dollar.

931 companies in Mecklenburg County are included in the 2007 Dun & Bradstreet Million Dollar Listing, with sales over $10 million including 22 companies which exceed $1 billion in sales. Of those 931 companies, 420 are headquartered right here in Charlotte. The Dun & Bradstreet firms represent a broad range of industry sectors, the largest being wholesale trade, manufacturing, finance, insurance and real estate.

Charlotte has also been cited by Entrepreneur and Fortune magazines as one of the nation's best large cities for entrepreneurs to start and run a small business. Of the 25,600 companies with operations in Charlotte, 23,826 employ less than 50 workers. Only 102 businesses employ more than 500 workers.

Charlotte has a very active Chamber of Commerce, City Council and County Commission. Together the representatives of these groups have displayed tremendous economical foresight for the Queen City. Thanks to our leaders, we have seen the development and implementation of many world-class touches to the city that we, as residents, thought were a bit premature. For example, the new light rail was fought tooth-and-nail by residents but, alas! We're all grateful for their proactive stance on this now that gas prices have hit the $4. mark!

Queen Charlotte Sophia, German-born wife of King George III of England, would surely be proud to know we're soon going to have our own Ritz-Carlton Hotel! If that doesn't impress her, we could always remind her of how we scored the NASCAR Hall of Fame right here in the cosmopolitan city in North Carolina named for her! The list of wonderful attributes for this fabulous city goes on and on! Just call or email me and I'll tell you all about her!

Charlotte NC Providence Springs Market Report 12/30/08

Debe Maxwell (Helen Adams Realty) — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 15:05:17 -0600

Charlotte NC PROVIDENCE SPRINGS Market Report: YTD 12/30/08

Formerly farm land, belonging to the Springs family, Providence Springs is now a quaint neighborhood nestled between the Arboretum and Rea Road (on the city-side of Highway 51). Gene Harrington & Ken Dowd (developers of other upscale neighborhoods such as Berkley and Highgate), developed the sanctuary-style neighborhood, building custom homes on winding streets with flat lots, surrounded by mature trees. As you enter Providence Springs, you will continue past a relatively new pre-fab development into the original neighborhood (which begins at Megington Drive) with 128 gorgeous custom and semi-custom homes.

Just minutes from the Arboretum, only 9 miles from Uptown and mere minutes from I-485, Providence Springs is in a prime location: Shopping, recreation, and schools abound in this area. Centrally located near the major private schools and in one of the city’s best school districts, you will have your choice of schools for your children!

Located in beautiful South Charlotte, this prime property, tucked away just inside the Providence Road/Pineville-Matthews junction, is one of the most sought after neighborhoods in Charlotte. Completed in 2002, renowned custom homebuilders, Harrington & Dowd took great pride in developing a quaint 'neighborly' community with wide streets, leaving gorgeous mature trees. As you tour this community, you will notice the immaculate attention to detail in architecture, style, landscaping, sidewalks & neighbor-friendly cul-de-sacs. Multiple honors and awards have been bestowed on the developer/builders, including Builder of the Year on several occasions.

Frequent block parties and cookouts are sure to quickly acquaint you with your wonderful new neighbors! Call today for a list of available homes or a tour of this great little community of Providence Springs!
