Club West Brewing distribution facility sells to prominent Charlotte developer

An entity tied to Club West, the rebranded Sycamore , has sold the brewery's offices and production facility near Camp North End to a prominent Charlotte developer for $6.65 million. Why it matters: While Club West Brewing's taproom has been consistently packed since the Sycamore scandal, the brewery previously acknowledged the distribution business wasn't rebounding the same way. The latest: West Twenty Fourth LLC, an LLC tied to Sycamore's co-founder Sarah Taylor, sold the building to Summit Avenue West 24th, an LLC tied to Matthew Browder, owner at Browder Brown real estate firm, on Nov. 4, property records show. West Twenty Fourth LLC previously bought the building for $5.2 million in 2024. Flashback: CBJ reported in 2017 that Sycamore was investing $2.5 million in building out the North End facility. It would grow its beer production by 16 times, with enough capacity to produce up to 80,000 barrels a year, the report stated. The lease between Club West and West Twenty Fourth LLC was terminated the same day as the sale, records show. The big picture: Browder for years has been assembling more than 30 acres of land in the surrounding area, including the Starbucks down the street and 9-plus
