This website is designed to answer your questions about the proposed Master Planned Santé Matthews project through a straightforward presentation of the facts. We invite you to use this site and the information outlined in the FAQs below to learn about an exciting new addition to the Town of Matthews.
Part of the Eastern Gateway Plan
Santé Matthews represents the assemblage of 14 parcels from 4 separate landowners needed to implement the master plan community envisioned by the Town of Matthews Eastern Gateway Plan. The Santé Matthews plan meets all ten of the plan objectives set in the Town of Matthews Eastern Gateway Plan, which was adopted by the Town in November 2021.
A vibrant, walkable, wellness-focused
master-planned mixed-use community
Guided by placemaking principles, the master-planned community of Santé Matthews will feature a centrally located park open to the public, surrounded by restaurants, retail uses, and office space.
Residences within the community will include for-sale, single-family detached homes and townhomes; rental residences for ages 55+ such as detached cottages homes and apartments; and apartment homes adjacent to I-485. A mix of residents is anticipated to call Santé Matthews home, from young families to people 55+ years of age who are ready for hassle-free living with no yard maintenance and want a sense of community with people who are in the same place in life.
Sustainability is at the core
of the Wellness Center
The Santé Wellness center will be a leader in sustainable design and environmentally conscious engineering. Our building puts the environment and people first through responsible water usage and energy + carbon reduction. We intend to create the “greenest building” in the Carolinas by prioritizing a healthy interior environment and biophilic design. This building will demonstrate Santé Matthews and the town of Matthews' commitment to moving the world toward a greener, more sustainable future via the built environment.
