If you’re a fan of retail therapy, you might have thought more than once how great it would be to live in a mall. It would be as exciting as the life of the fictional Eloise who gets to live on the “tippy top floor” of New York City’s Plaza Hotel. Well, Eastland Yards gets you close to the dream by providing single-family homes and townhomes on the grounds of the former Eastland Mall, Charlotte, North Carolina.

Eastland Yards is Saussy Burbank’s contribution to the residential. office, retail, hotel, sports and community facilities planned for the redeveloped area on Central Avenue. The  69-acre site, which housed what was once the state’s largest mall, is getting developed by Crosland Southeast.

Want to get an idea of what Crosland has in mind with its Eastland development plans? They are the same group that redeveloped the Bellevue Mall in Nashville, Tenn., into a mixed-use community featuring residential, retail, two hotels and a skating and community center. We already know Mecklenburg County is starting construction on a 4.5-acre Eastland Park on the property in Spring 2025.
