About Pineville, NC

Pineville was changed forever when the initial segment of Interstate 485 opened to traffic. Although the one-mile (1.6 km) stretch connecting interchanges at NC Highway 51 and South Boulevard was designed to divert through traffic around Charlotte via a freeway loop, I-485 incidentally passed directly through Pineville. In the years to follow, largely undeveloped land adjacent to Pineville's two I-485 interchanges exploded into what is now the largest shopping district in North Carolina. With nearly 8,000,000 square feet (743,000 m 2) of retail space, Pineville is home to the 1,100,000-square-foot (100,000 m 2) Carolina Place Mall, at least two power centres and many strip malls, outparcels and free-standing retailers. Pineville has, historically, been a textbook example of urban sprawl.
