THE MAKING OF BIG PETE—In November 2025, a new giant quietly took root in the forests of Charlotte, NC. Meet Big Pete—a wooden troll imagined by artist @thomasdambo and brought to life by many hands and a lot of heart.

This short film pulls back the curtain on how he was built, why he matters, and the magic that happens when art, community, and nature collide.

Thomas Dambo’s work is rooted in sustainability—using recycled, reclaimed, and locally sourced materials to spark wonder while protecting the planet. Big Pete embodies this mission, reminding us how creativity can transform discarded materials into something meaningful. It’s a perfect fit for The River District, a community built around conservation, environmental stewardship, and a deep respect for the land.

In honor of National Farmers Day, we wanted to share an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at what’s growing at The River District. 🌾

Our store will offer fresh harvests grown steps away on our working farm - like  kale, broccoli, collards, sweet carrots, and radishes - alongside local staples including artisanal salad dressings, jams, jellies, and so much more. Paired with handcrafted coffee, it will be a welcoming spot for residents and the public to hang out while overlooking the farm and playground. 

Whether you’re stopping in for local ingredients or relaxing while the kids play, this space is designed for everyone to slow down, connect, and enjoy the view.

Coming early in the New Year 🥕

Another major piece is coming to Charlotte’s River District. 👀

A new $20 million outpatient healthcare campus is planned for the massive development taking shape in west Charlotte.

The 35,000-square-foot campus will sit on roughly four acres near the River District’s planned town center and will be the development’s first dedicated medical office space.

Plans call for several standalone offices that could accommodate physicians, specialty medical groups and health systems.

Developer Taylor Capital is expected to close on the site next year, with construction currently scheduled to begin in January 2028.

It’s the latest addition to a River District that’s already starting to fill in. Plans for the 1,400-acre development ultimately call for roughly 5,000 homes, 500,000 square feet of retail, millions of square feet of office space and 1,000 hotel rooms — along with a new K–8 school, fire station, trails and other amenities.

The $20M medical campus adds another piece of infrastructure needed to turn the River District from a development into a full-fledged neighborhood.

What do you think — could the River District become one of Charlotte’s most desirable areas over the next decade? 👇
