Mecklenburg County, North Carolina
Mecklenburg County is Charlotte's home county in south-central North Carolina, a banking and finance center ringed by established suburbs — Huntersville, Matthews, Cornelius, and Pineville — along Lake Norman and the I-485 loop. A large corporate and fintech employment base plus light-rail-driven transit-oriented rezoning under Charlotte's Unified Development Ordinance reshape demand, making station-area overlay zoning and upzoning decisions central to almost every deal.
