The Metropolitan is an urban mixed use development just outside of the Center City loop featuring condos and office above shopping and dining, adjacent to the Little Sugar Creek Greenway.  Situated on the land where Charlottetown mall was located, this project has spurred many surrounding land uses in the midtown Charlotte area.  The program will feature a conversation between Peter A. Pappas of Pappas Properties, John Collett of Collett & Associates, and Ron Kimble of the City of Charlotte discussing what it took to get the original deal done, negotiations with NC DOT, the City of Charlotte and a TIF, stacked big box, uncovering the greenway, and working with the neighboring Cherry community.
