LaMelo Ball is officially making his exit from Charlotte, and he’s doing it in style by listing his incredible uptown condo for a cool $2.6 million. This isn’t just a regular move, it’s the final chapter for the former Hornets star in the Queen City after that huge trade to the Minnesota Timberwolves back in late June.
That Uptown Palace is Wild
Seriously, this isn’t just an apartment, folks. We’re talking 3,495 square feet, four bedrooms, and four-and-a-half bathrooms of pure luxury, according to Realtor.com. This spot, inside “The Trust” an exclusive seven-residence building right in the heart of uptown Charlotte, screams elite. Imagine sweeping city views, ceilings that practically touch the sky, and marble floors with some seriously fancy gold detailing. And the kitchen? It’s gourmet, complete with a massive waterfall island. Plus, there’s a custom wet bar and a dressing room so elaborate it could pass for a high-end boutique. Real estate agent Erika Mendoza from Coldwell Banker wasn’t kidding when she posted on Instagram that “Some addresses speak for themselves. Others are reserved for those who value something extraordinary.” Sounds about right for a guy like LaMelo.
The Cam Newton Connection is Wild, And MJ’s a Neighbor?
Get this: Ball didn’t always own this place. Before he bought it, he was actually renting the unit from none other than Carolina Panthers legend Cam Newton! Yeah, *that* Cam Newton. Ball eventually scooped it up from the NFL quarterback for $2.47 million in 2024, the Charlotte Business Journal reported. And get this: LaMelo apparently loved the building so much he even snagged a *second* unit on the floor below for $2.2 million, according to Realtor. Newton isn’t the only sports royalty with ties to The Trust either. NBA icon and former Hornets minority owner Michael Jordan also owns property in the building. Talk about an exclusive club.
This whole listing comes as Ball gets ready to dominate in his first season with the Timberwolves. He spent six seasons in Charlotte, even snagging the 2021 NBA Rookie of the Year award, before that June blockbuster sent him and Josh Green to Minnesota in exchange for Naz Reid and some future draft picks. It’s a new chapter, a new city, and a new team. You just know LaMelo’s ready to put on a show out there in Minnesota, but first, he’s gotta get this Charlotte palace off his books.
