Located in University city home to the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and more than 20 regional offices for Fortune 500 companies, University City is a lively trade area. Despite its proximity to the Charlotte Center City, the university and its lively student culture have brought college-town spirit - not to mention fun pubs, dining hot spots and extensive retail - to the area. On football Saturdays, crowds dressed in green, white and gold pile into Jerry Richardson Stadium to cheer for the Charlotte 49ers. During the week, the neighborhood is all business. With more than 20 regional offices for Fortune 500 companies in this area, University Executive Park, University Research Park and Innovation Park employ thousands, and the completion of the LYNX Blue Line light rail extension makes access to Center City faster than ever.
