Mission Statement
Augustalee is being designed to create a sustainable community which integrates a distinctive harmony of working, shopping, living, hospitality and recreational uses, while intentionally respecting the surrounding environment. Augustalee significantly advances the planned time schedule to improve regional transportation resources, increase connectivity and reduce congestion. Augustalee, a “shovel ready” project, will create thousands of high-quality “green jobs” and provide millions of dollars in positive economic impact to the Charlotte-Lake Norman region.
Mission Statement Implementation
• A true mixed use community
• 4,600 new “green jobs”
• 500-1,000 construction jobs
• All design schematics have been completed, one of America’s largest contractors has been hired, and the project is “shovel ready”
• $370 million in positive economic impact per year
• Connectivity to area transit systems and encouragement of carpooling, walking, biking and other alternatives to single-occupant vehicles
• Central utility plant and central boiler system for maximized energy efficiency
• Planting over 2,000 trees and shrubs
• Abundant parks, green spaces, a History Trail, and outdoor amenities that are unparalleled, to encourage enjoyment of the outdoors
• Runoff and storm water retention into ponds, underground storage and filtration systems to protect nearby waterways

• Abundant porches, balconies and operable windows in all residential units to allow fresh air flow and reduce energy demands for cooling and heating
• Recycling of existing trees on the property to lumber
• Roofing with a 50-year rating instead of the 20-year rating as required
• Activated charcoal filters to minimize exhaust fumes and pollutants from underground parking facilities and service areas
