The English Country Manor House still exists today, in its original location in the-now Deering Oaks subdivision.

At approximately 9:00 AM EST of May 18, 2023, a five alarm fire broke out at a parking garage under construction on the 7700 block of Liberty Row Drive.

Charlotte Fire Department chief Reginald Johnson would later state the fire was accidental, and began in a construction trailer containing a foam insulation spraying equipment; later investigations revealed a small diesel engine, which was actively running in the trailer at the time, suffered a "catastrophic failure" and burst into flames.

The large amount of exposed wood and construction debris caused the fire to quickly spread, requiring the response of more than 90 emergency personnel, and the evacuation of homes and businesses in the area as a thick black plume of smoke obscured a large part of southwestern Charlotte.

The fire, which reached a peak temperature of over 2000°F (1093°C), would later collapse both the parking garage and the under-construction apartment complex connected to it.

Based on this information and other findings, three of the contractor companies involved in the incident were fined by OSHA for violating proper safety procedures.
