Struggling Northlake Mall looks like it’s about to get a Porsche dealership nearby
Sure, you’ve heard about the struggles of Northlake Mall, as retailers such as Apple and American Eagle pull out.
But you probably haven’t heard that a new Porsche dealership looks as though it’s about to be built right next to Northlake Mall.
According to city and county records, Mills Automotive Group — which owns Classic Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of South Charlotte — has received a building permit for a project called “Porsche N. Charlotte” at 10046 North Lake Centre Parkway on a 17-acre parcel just down the street from the mall, by the intersection of I-77 and I-485 in northern Charlotte.
City records list the site as “Mills Northlake” and say it’s an “auto dealership and service center.”
The Mills executive listed on the permits, Jeff Cropp, did not return an email and phone call this week from The Ledger.
Permits list the project cost at $31M, which is the second-largest commercial building permit issued in Mecklenburg so far this month. —Tony Mecia
