THE GASTON AT NORTH END

The Gaston at North End stands as a sincere tribute honoring Darryl Gaston, a revered servant leader whose influence will resonate throughout the neighborhood for generations. As the pastor of Smallwood Presbyterian and a prominent figure in the North End Community Coalition, Gaston contributed significantly to both the local church and the wider Charlotte community. His steadfast presence in the Druid Hills and North End areas, coupled with his unwavering dedication to homeless ministry, marked him as a trusted partner of INLIVIAN and a beacon of hope for many. Gaston’s passing in 2021 left a profound void in the community, but his legacy as a tireless advocate for the marginalized will endure. 

The Gaston at North End is a $34 million project featuring 144 units, catering to mixed-income residents with earnings ranging from 30% to 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI). Spanning 178,000 square feet across four stories, the building occupies a 4.27-acre site that was previously home to the Dillehay Courts public housing, comprising 36 units across 10 buildings. Each unit boasts spacious interiors with nine-foot ceilings, Energy Star^® appliances, luxury vinyl plank and carport flooring, and either a balcony or patio, depending on its location within the building. Residents can also enjoy various interior amenities such as a leasing office, community room, fitness center, mail room equipped for package delivery, and a dedicated computer room. Outdoor amenities include a playground, outdoor seating areas, and a covered picnic area, enhancing the overall living experience for residents. 

The development was financed using 4% LIHTC Bonds, City of Charlotte Housing Trust Funds, developer equity, construction loan, and Freddie/Fannie permanent financing. 

The Gaston North End was placed in service on October 31, 2023.
