New Construction
Ballantyne Reserve
The community's newest custom-build corridor — 2024–2026 spec and bespoke residences.
Neighborhood Overview
A closer look at Ballantyne Reserve.
Ballantyne Reserve is the community's newest section — the last significant tranche of land to be developed, and the neighborhood most associated with new construction. Nearly every home dates from 2022 or later, and the section continues to deliver spec and bespoke residences into 2026. Its position at the community's southern edge gives it the shortest access to the Ballantyne shopping corridor.
What defines it
- Newest section
- Custom + spec new construction
- Closest to Ballantyne shopping
- Modern envelopes
History & development
The section was planned in 2020, broke ground in 2021, and began delivering homes in late 2022. Because it was master-planned as a single tranche rather than assembled from legacy lots, the streetscape is uniform in age and material palette in a way older sections are not. A handful of interior lots remain unbuilt.
Who lives here
Ballantyne Reserve attracts buyers who want a new home in Piper Glen without a two-year custom-build timeline. Relocating executives, second-home buyers, and families upgrading from smaller Ballantyne-area residences make up most of the section's ownership.
Streets & lots
Lots run smaller than the older sections — roughly 0.5 to 0.9 acres — but the section makes up the difference with tighter, more contemporary site planning: forecourt entries, integrated pool decks, and dedicated ADU pads on many lots. The streetscape is intentionally uniform in setback and roofline.
Architecture
Soft-modern and transitional envelopes dominate. Expect painted brick, black or bronze windows, flat and shed rooflines, and interior palettes built around rift-sawn white oak, plaster, and honed stone. Many homes ship with primary suites on the main level and dedicated wellness wings.
Getting around
The section uses the community's south gate. Ballantyne Village and the Ballantyne office corridor are five minutes away; I-485 is close enough that access to Charlotte-Douglas and uptown is easier than from any other section of Piper Glen.
How it compares
Ballantyne Reserve trades acreage and mature landscaping for newness. Buyers choosing between it and Piper Glen Estates are typically weighing 'move-in ready 2025 build' against 'legacy estate with room to renovate.'
