Sycamore at Tyvola, a new luxury apartment complex from developer Switzenbaum and Associates, will soon open to residents on a 32-acre parcel of land in Southwest Charlotte. The gated community will offer 288 one- and two-bedroom units that feature upscale amenities, controlled access, elevator service, yoga, barre and spin studios, a pool, and expansive green space.
The Schwam Architects-designed complex complements the unique topography of the site and has a layout that includes twice as many corner units as a typical multifamily complex. Each of the six three-story buildings at Sycamore at Tyvola will include 28 corner units with panoramic views.

Community amenities will include a rock garden, pond, walking trail, swimming pool, and a putting green. The on-site fitness facility includes a yoga and barre studio and a spin studio with on-demand classes available to residents.
Urbanik interiors designed the clubhouse and common areas in the apartment buildings. Sycamore at Tyvola will open for tours and leasing opportunities in mid-April 2018.
