The Charlotte Epicentre in better days.
CHARLOTTE, NC — The foreclosure process for the Charlotte Epicentre is ongoing, and many businesses have left the once iconic Charlotte entertainment area.
The site was known for hosting huge events including the 2012 Democratic National Convention and NBA All-Star events galore.
In recent years, the entertainment hub became marred with more reports of crime. A Charlotte Observer investigation found the Charlotte Epicentre had more violent crimes than any other commercial or residential location in the entire city.
Notably, a fight in October 2019 led to stray gunfire killing a man, and police significantly ramped up their presence in the area. Crime, and then the pandemic, drastically harmed businesses in the Epicentre.
