CHARLOTTE, NC—Batson-Cook Construction reports it has broken ground on the $25-million multifamily property The Gibson here.

The project is being developed by Atlanta-based Pollack Shores Real Estate Group. The Gibson is the first project between Batson-Cook and Pollack Shores, who are also planning future multi-family developments in the Southeast. The complex at 1000 Central Ave. is expected to be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2015. The mid-rise, infill apartments will total 202,000 rentable square feet. The project was designed by Poole and Poole Architects.

“We are honored to be starting on this first project with the great team at Pollack Shores,” says Randy Hall, president and CEO of Batson-Cook Construction. “Charlotte is a market that is well known to us and we are honored to be building again in the Queen City.”

“We have worked incredibly hard to see our vision The Gibson come to fruition. It is exciting to be underway,” says Tyler Gaines, development manager of Pollack Shores Real Estate Group.

Batson-Cook, a West Point, GA-based general contractor, has previously built the Duke Energy Center and Hearst Tower. Batson-Cook Construction is currently building two Charlotte projects—Marvin Road, a 300-unit garden-style apartment community in the Ballantyne area and SkyHouse Uptown, a 24-story luxury high-rise on the corner of 10th and Church streets.
