12-story hotel, 350 multifamily units planned for Birkdale Village in Huntersville
Atlanta developer North American Properties has big additions planned for Huntersville’s Birkdale Village mixed-use community in the 8700 block of Townley Road, off Interstate 77 at Exit 25.
Plans call for a 12-story, 125-room hotel; a commercial-residential building with 350 multi-family units; a seven-story office-commercial-building; and two six-story parking decks, according to Huntersville Planning Department documents.
The Huntersville Planning Board was scheduled to consider recommending a rezoning for the 8.82-acre project to the town Board of Commissioners on Tuesday night.
Developer details plan for 270-acre resort in Huntersville
Lake Norman developer Jake Palillo plans to turn a 270-acre site in Huntersville — a tract more than five times larger than Birkdale Village — into a resort called Crystal Lagoons.
The proposed site, between N.C. 115 and Mayes Road near Westmoreland Road, would include commercial, retail and residential space, Cornelius Today reported.
Crystal Lagoons, a Miami-based company, “has developed and patented a concept and technology that allows developers to build and maintain crystalline lagoons of unlimited size at very low cost anywhere in the world,” according to the company’s website.
The company currently has more than 250 projects in various stages of development in North America, South America, Asia and Europe, according to its website, with man-made water bodies big enough for swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding.
“This is the newest type of development in the country today,” Palillo told Cornelius Today. “Disney is developing a Crystal Lagoon in Arizona, and we want Huntersville to be the first in North Carolina.”
Palillo plans to submit a rezoning application to the Huntersville Town Board within the next 60 days, Cornelius Today reported.
560 homes with major road connector OK’d in Mooresville
LandSouth plans to break ground in January on a 560-home community along a planned new stretch of Timber Road in Mooresville.
The development along new Timber Road Extension will include 350 multi-family units and 260 single-family homes, according to Mooresville Planning Department documents.
The multi-family homes would be built in phase one of the development and the single-family homes in three subsequent phases, documents show.
The Mooresville Board of Commissioners on Oct. 17 unanimously approved a zoning request for the 125.99-acre project north of Foursquare Road.
Timber Road will connect U.S. 21 and N.C. 115 once the new stretch is complete.
The road extension will have a “strong, positive impact on traffic flow in and around the southern end of downtown,” Danny Wilson, Mooresville planning and community development director, wrote in a planning document to the Town Board.
