In Charlotte , the largest city in the mostly rural , South-eastern state of North Carolina is witnessing a huge boom in people moving in , Crescent is developing Crescent Providence Farm , which will be centred on food . Adding to the master planned restaurants , Crescent Providence Farm will have a garden for residents to plant their own herbs , communal dining areas featuring tables made from salvaged trees , and even an outdoor kitchen programmed for cooking demonstrations .

Also underway in Charlotte is Crescent Stonewall Station . This community will feature a 19-story high-rise building directly adjacent to the public LYNX light railway station ; allowing residents the luxury of never having to drive .
