Explore Charlotte building permits, CMPD crime data and Uptown Core zoning in Uptown, the central business district around Trade and Tryon.
Search this neighborhoodUptown is Charlotte's central business district, laid out around the crossing of Trade and Tryon streets and divided into four wards named for the quadrants around that intersection: First, Second, Third and Fourth Ward. This outline is the County's Uptown Neighborhood Profile Area, which holds all four wards inside the I-277 loop.
Bank of America Stadium, Spectrum Center, Truist Field and the NASCAR Hall of Fame all sit inside it, along with Discovery Place Science, the Levine Museum of the New South, the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art and Romare Bearden Park. Zoning is mostly the Uptown Core (UC) district, with Uptown Mixed Use (UMUD-O) and Neighborhood 2 (N2) residential districts in the wards. The LYNX Blue Line and CityLYNX Gold Line run through it, and CATS express routes converge on the Charlotte Transportation Center.
