CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Levine Museum of the New South in Uptown Charlotte has got some owners.
The building was sold to Vela Uptown LLC, a New York-based development company that plans a high-rise apartment building for a range of tenants in the heart of the North Tryon redevelopment corridor.
The $10.75 million sale is an important milestone in the ongoing transformation of the Levine Museum.
For 20 years, the current location has served as a central gathering place for courageous exhibitions, productive dialogue, and community celebrations. The proceeds from the sale of the building will enable the Museum to continue that work in a newer, more flexible space, and to invest in creating robust digital experiences.
The museum will remain open to visitors through May 15.
