Linea is Setting the New Standard for Sophisticated Living in Charlotte
Linea, the highly anticipated 24-story tower located at 2161 Hawkins St. in South End, has officially launched pre-leasing for its 370 upscale apartment homes. Featuring stunning views, high-end finishes and an array of hotel-inspired amenities, Linea redefines upscale living in Charlotte.
Linea’s striking architectural design makes it a standout addition to the South End skyline. The development is also poised to become a go-to destination with its diverse ground-floor retail and restaurants on the Rail Trail and connection to The Line via a skybridge.
“Linea captures the essence of what makes South End special,” said Kate Culver, vice president of development for Portman Residential. “From its vibrant energy to its timeless design, Linea is more than just a place to live—it’s a reflection of the urban sophistication and modern conveniences today’s residents expect.”
Distinctive Features & Floor Plans
Linea offers a variety of floor plans featuring studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom units, including 13 penthouses. Rent for studio units starts at $1,700. Each apartment is meticulously crafted with exquisite details, setting a new benchmark for modern living in Charlotte. With features like expansive windows, premium materials and gourmet kitchens outfitted with smart appliances like Wi-Fi-enabled gas ranges with Air Fryer Mode, every aspect of these apartments is designed to inspire.
Aspirational Amenities
Linea’s thoughtfully curated amenities are designed to enrich every aspect of daily life, creating a seamless blend of comfort, convenience and style. Some highlights include:
- 24/7 on-site Bozzuto resident experience team, offering the same high-touch services as concierges in cities like New York, Chicago and Los Angeles.
- The Skyline Athletic Club featuring state-of-the-art cardio and strength equipment, private fitness rooms with Echelon Mirrors, a rock climbing wall with a view, and curated wellness and personal fitness programs.
- The Sun Deck featuring a resort-style pool with sun shelf, lounge chairs, cabanas and daybeds, as well as a fire pit, grilling stations and outdoor dining spaces.
- A community floor featuring the Overlook Lounge, Entertainment Hub, Billiard Parlor, The Sound Lounge and a dining space for social gatherings.

“Our team is dedicated to providing an elevated experience for our residents with personalized service and attention to detail that goes beyond expectations,” says Kory Gebhart, Linea General Manager. “At Linea, we’re creating a community where every resident feels truly at home, supported by services and amenities that mirror the finest urban living experiences across the globe.”
A Lifestyle Beyond Expectations
With over 18,000 square feet of retail and dining space along the Rail Trail, including Night Swim Coffee, True Food Kitchen, BAR ONE Lounge and more on the way, residents are steps away from South End’s most desirable spots. Direct access to The Line via a skybridge and proximity to a future LYNX Blue Line light rail stop make Linea the center of urban connectivity.
In addition to its thoughtful design and prime location, Linea prioritizes the resident experience with 24/7 concierge services, secure parking with EV charging stations, and a host of customizable concierge offerings such as Bozzuto’s away from home services, which includes cat care for up to three days, plant care and mail/package delivery.
Portman Residential and partner National Real Estate Advisors are the developer/owners of Linea. JE Dunn was the general contractor and S9 Architecture was the design architect on the project. Foundry Commercial is managing Linea’s retail leasing. The upscale residential tower is managed by Bozzuto, which has been named a top property management company in the U.S. for online reputation by J.
