The Arlington

The Arlington is a residential tower in South End with 24 stories reaching about 310 feet, distinguished by floor-to-ceiling windows and multiple terraces. The rose-tinted glass exterior wraps the structure while offering views across the Charlotte skyline.

The building opened in 2003 and marked a turning point in Charlotte's development as the first residential high-rise outside downtown. This project sparked a new phase of urban expansion into surrounding neighborhoods.

The structure takes its name from a local architectural firm and stands out through its distinctive rose-tinted glass exterior, which has influenced how nearby buildings are designed and perceived. Visitors immediately notice the warm coloring, especially as light changes throughout the day.

Visitors find a modern sushi restaurant at ground level and must pass through controlled entry systems. A rooftop pool, fitness center, and direct light rail connections to two stations make getting around the city convenient.

The ground floor houses a modern sushi restaurant that many visitors overlook when passing through. This dining spot has become a gathering place for residents and those exploring the neighborhood.
