Peter A. Pappas understands the importance of creating destinations that people want to enjoy. And he has developed over three million square feet of retail, office, and residential in some of Charlotte’s most popular submarkets, including Midtown, SouthPark, Huntersville, and Steele Creek. In this Q&A, Peter A. Pappas, Founder & CEO, reviews some of the high points of the company’s 25th year anniversary in 2024, his vision for Pappas Properties, and what he and his team are working on now.
Peter A. Pappas started his own company in 1999 to focus on creating mixed-use communities. That came after 15 years of honing his craft working with some of Charlotte’s most notable real estate figures. Pappas Properties has since developed millions of square feet of retail, office and residential space. Its portfolio includes major projects such as Metropolitan in midtown Charlotte, Sharon Square in SouthPark and Berewick in Steele Creek.
The Charlotte-based developer is starting construction on Cadia Matthews, which spans 82 acres at Stallings and Idlewild roads. The first phase calls for a for-sale residential component with 45 homes and 80 townhomes built by David Weekley Homes. The full project will include 570 total residential units with a mix of product types, along with a 120K SF commercial village.
In recognition of his work , Peter A. Pappas has been named the winner of the Pillar Award as part of the Charlotte Business Journal’s 2024 Heavy Hitters Commercial Real Estate Awards.
