Construction nears end on Publix-anchored center off I-77 Exit 25 in Huntersville
The Publix storefront name is up in a retail center under construction on Sam Furr Road across from Davidson-Concord Road in Huntersville.
Crews with heavy equipment were on site last week. The parking lot was paved, and the Publix building and adjacent storefronts are up. So is the frame of an outbuilding nearer Sam Furr Road.
Publix announced plans for the store and additional Charlotte-area locations in February, The Charlotte Observer reported at the time.
The 48,387-square-foot Huntersville store will anchor the North Creek Village retail center, the Observer reported.
The center is 3.9 miles east of Interstate 77 Exit 25.
Publix has no opening date for the store, a spokesman said.
Georgia developer plans 4-story, 110-room Huntersville hotel
A Georgia developer plans to build a four-story, 110-room hotel on vacant land at 16221 Northcross Drive in Huntersville, town planning documents show.
Developer Hitesh Patel of Augusta-based Hotel Ventures Inc. will hold a neighborhood meeting about his plans at 6 p.m. Thursday at Spring Hill Suites by Marriott, 13610 Reese Blvd. West, according to meeting notice by the Huntersville Planning Board.
Patel hasn’t said which hotel brand is planned. “Northcross Hotel” is the name of the project on his rezoning application for the 2.66-acre site.
Habitat for Humanity plans 19-home community
Habitat for Humanity of the Charlotte region plans to build 11 single-family detached homes and four duplexes in east Mooresville, spokesman W. Kevin Donaldson told The Charlotte Observer.
The Mooresville Planning Board approved recommending a rezoning for the project Nov. 8. The Mooresville Board of Commissioners will have final say, after holding an as-yet unscheduled public hearing at an upcoming board meeting.
The homes are planned for the end of Pandora Road.
“As far as volunteering for this specific project, since we do not have a start date, we can only advise that folks visit our website, where groups and individuals can sign up with our organization to help out,” Donaldson told the Observer in an email.
“Once our volunteer team reaches out and coordinates with applicants, further discussion can be had about which projects to work on with us,” Donaldson said.
‘Auto country club’ would store collectible/exotic cars
A developer is seeking a rezoning to build 44 townhome-style units on 7.3 acres in the Morrison Plantation community for owners to store their collectible/exotic cars and luxury boats and RVS, motorcycles and 4 wheelers, Mooresville Planning Department records show.
Owners are expected to spend “hundreds of thousands of dollars up-fitting their individual units, creating jobs, raising tax values and town income.
The Mooresville Planning Board approved recommending a rezoning for the project, called Octane Park, at its Nov. 8 meeting.
The park would be built at 248 Singleton Road in the mixed-used community at Lake Norman.
“One of the major plusses of this development is it will add revenue to the town without adding to the societal infrastructure burden of schools, roads, libraries, parks, etc,” Pruitt wrote in his application.
“By code, owners are not allowed to use these units as residences, which also greatly limits the water/sewer needs for a development of this size,” Pruitt said.
A planned Octane Park HOA would allow for “universal maintenance, landscaping and general upkeep of the grounds while also providing rules and governance for the facility.”
