The Michaels Organization has purchased 4.5 acres of land adjacent to Novant Health Mint Hill hospital for $3 million to develop active adult housing. The site plans for the age-restricted 55-and-older multifamily project were filed with the city of Charlotte in October 2025.
Why it matters
This land sale sets the stage for a new multifamily project tailored to older adults in Mint Hill, while Flagship Healthcare Properties continues to expand the adjacent medical campus with a new 11,000-square-foot facility.
The Michaels Organization purchased 4.5 acres of a 6-acre site for $3 million, while Flagship Healthcare Properties retains 1.5 acres for a future 11,000-square-foot office building. The new medical construction follows a busy Q2 where 43,000 square feet of office space was delivered.
The players
The Michaels Organization
A developer focused on residential housing projects for diverse age groups.
Flagship Healthcare Properties
A medical real estate firm managing a portfolio of healthcare office buildings.
Novant Health
A major regional healthcare provider operating the hospital adjacent to the site.
The details
The development plan utilizes local zoning regulations that specifically permit housing for residents aged 55 and older. By situating the project next to the Novant Health Mint Hill hospital, the site provides specialized proximity for aging residents. Meanwhile, Flagship Healthcare Properties will develop the remaining portion of the lot to supplement their existing medical office portfolio, which includes properties at 9055 Cresswind Blvd and 9025 Novant Health Parkway.

The Home Front
This land acquisition reflects the continued regional growth in medical office and senior-focused residential developments. It follows a second quarter that saw 280,000 square feet of medical office space under construction, underscoring the shift in suburban land use near healthcare hubs.
Local residents aged 55 and older should track the project's progress for future housing availability near the medical campus. Prospective buyers in Mint Hill can monitor city planning portals for updates on the specific number of units and project timelines as they move through the review process.
The takeaway
