Mayfaire West On Hold As Developer Focuses On Other Projects

A project that proposed nearly 500 residential units on more than 40 acres near Mayfaire appears to be on hold for now.

Called Mayfaire West, the project, which was announced last spring, proposed 256 apartments, along with 223 carriage houses and townhomes, on undeveloped land between Town Center Drive and Gregory Road. More than a year later, there are no pending development applications, and the site’s owners are currently focused on other projects, according to Hyman Brody, president and CEO of project developer BrodyCo.

The land remains under long-term ownership, Brody wrote in an email to the Business Journal. He declined to provide additional details about what led to the pause or when developers plan to revisit the Mayfaire West project.

Deed records show Mayfaire II LLC, an entity registered to Brody, purchased the bulk of the site’s acreage, a nearly 40-acre tract at 4103 Proximity Point, for $5.75 million in 2014. BrodyCo also served as a co-developer of the nearby Mayfaire Town Center. Based in Greenville, North Carolina, the firm's portfolio includes several projects in Greenville, along with others across the state.

During a community meeting in May 2025, Brody said he felt his firm was the right one to acquire the property and build something special.

“Projects like these, they come around just so few times in a lifetime,” Brody said at the meeting, “and what's happened in Mayfaire in the last 25 years, and what we think this can do will certainly segue and be a good project going forward into the future.”

At the same 2025 meeting, residents from the nearby Windemere, Eastwood Village and Parkside neighborhoods voiced concerns about the project's density and how it could affect the area’s existing residents, along with ongoing traffic and stormwater issues.

Developers said at the time that they planned to ask the city to rezone the site from its current R-15, moderate-density single-dwelling district, and a mixed-use district to a conditional MD-10 and MD-17, medium- and high-density multiple-dwelling residential districts, respectively, in the coming months.

Just east of the proposed development site, mixed-use development Center Point is under construction near the intersection of Military Cutoff and Eastwood roads. The project includes 265 apartments and more than 32,000 square feet of commercial space.
