I conducted a detailed and thorough search for the next place to call “Home” before moving into the Ascent Uptown Tower. I toured multiple properties and compared amenities, location and pricing and I am very pleased/confident that I made the right choice for Uptown Charlotte living with the best of all that the city has to offer! Highly recommend!

Overall, the community is very good. The infrastructure and services—such as the concierge—are excellent. The care and maintenance of the community really stand out to me. Very well done—please keep it this way, as it gives a sense of modernity and luxury. The location is wonderful for me.

Hello! We appreciate the kind words about our building, thank you. We take great pride in maintaining a beautiful community for our residents.
We are sorry to hear about your concern regarding the amenities. At this time, we are in the process of... installing brand-new TVs on Levels 32 and 33, which residents were previously informed about. Outside of this upgrade, we are not currently aware of any amenities that are not functioning properly.
If there are any additional amenities you believe may need attention, please feel free to reach out to us directly at ascentuptownmgr@greystar.com so we can address your concerns promptly. Thank you!

In the beginning it was nice when I first moved in but so much has changed including the guess parking where our guess now has to pay days just to visit. The pool is always cold and the water system is not the best. The water is sometimes brown that comes out the faucet. The staff can also be more genuine. They appear friendly when they are giving you a tour but once you sign that lease you see that they are not so friendly.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear about these concerns and appreciate the chance to address them.
Our pool is not heated, so it will be cooler during colder months. With the water system, discoloration can happen in any type... of home if a faucet has not been used for a while and running it briefly will usually clear it.
Guest parking was updated recently to create a fair system and ensure availability for all residents. We understand changes can be frustrating, and we appreciate your patience.
We also take comments about staff interactions seriously, and we would like to learn more about your experience. Please feel free to reach out directly to our Community Manager, Ashley, at ascentuptownmgr@greystar.com so we can look into this further.
Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.
