Let's see if 2023 continues Kannapolis's revitalization....could be spiling over into the Rowan County town of China Grove too.

Kannapolis has indeed done a nice job rebounding from the close of Pillowtex. However they haven't done a good job at all with connection the neighborhood's just outside of "the loop" with those inside if it. It's just a bizarre scene to see those architecturally beautiful, mammoth brick buildings just plopped in what is basically a field. 

  Basically I'm saying Kannapolis needs to connect these neighborhood's in a way that provides a  seemless transition between them. 

  The exception would be where the loop and West C. St intersect.

Recent restoration project on the fringes of downtown Salisbury...the former Bonaparte Mansion which was built in the late 1890's.

Article from Friday's Independent-Tribune newspaper of a new center at Kannapolis Parkway and Rogers Lake Drive.  Noticed the sign myself over the weekend.....

No 3

A new grocery store at Kellswater Bridge. Several of you reported that a sign for Lowe’s Foods has gone up on the corner of Kannapolis Parkway and Rogers Lake Road.

 

MPV Properties is developing a 25-acre site there adjacent to the Kellswater Bridge development. Eventually there is expected to be about a 1,000 residential units in that development.

Right now Lowe’s is the only thing we know that is going in the development. It appears the shopping center will have two other buildings.

 

Signs have gone up on the corner indicating there will be a Lowe’s Foods grocery store in the development.

From MPV Properties

The plans show eight outparcels surrounding the Lowe’s center. They range from 1.09 acres to 2.66 acres. The 2.66-acre piece is on the corner.

The plan also shows the future Northwest Cabarrus High School on the opposite side of Kannapolis Parkway.

Kannapolis has only multiple Food Lions, a Walmart and a super Target for food stores so this is much needed this new Lowes a more upscale option.

I had heard Harris Teeter was interested but I guess they never pulled the trigger.

I am always glad to hear of these types of openings throughout the communities in the Charlotte metro area, especially the smaller towns such as Landis which seems to be undergoing a revitalization of it's downtown similar to the bustling business districts of it's adjacent neighbors of China Grove and Kannapolis.  Unique, locally owned retailers, I feel is the catalyst to bring vitality to downtown!

was up in downtown Kannapolis this afternoon.  2 apartment buildings under construction including 7 story Stadium Lofts overlooking the baseball stadium.  Plus new businesses have opened and more and more new for sale townhomes on the south edge of the walkable downtown.  Live performance venue opened in the Suwanee theater and movies in the old Gem theater both renovated by the city.  Also I have read Kannapolis has plenty of sewer capacity for its downtown projects and they are given a priority over suburban areas right now with the sewer constraints in Cabarrus County.   Plus a downtown Amtrak station that is open! iii

If momentum continues like it has for downtown Kannapolis something truly magnificent could develop there. The buildings that are older are very quaint and almost have a Williamsburg VA feel. If residential growth continues we could see a downtown outside of Charlotte with many many mid-rise buildings. After everything that Kannapolis had and then literally watch get torn down... man it sure does seem le that city deserves a success story like no other.

Great addition to downtown Salisbury.  This type of establishment allows entrepreneurs to introduce their products with other entrepreneurs as a prelude to a independent store front!!

Seems like Kannapolis is on pace to become a true satellite city of Charlotte. Especially if it can get commuter rail one day at that station.

[tozmervo]

Politicos in Cabarrus and Rowan county should be screaming for a commuter train. Kannapolis and Salisbury would explode.

New industrial development coming to Kannapolis.

HHHunt buys land in Kannapolis for 277-unit apartment project

 

 Kannapolis approved a rezoning request in April 2022 from developer HHHunt for an 18.7-acre site on Kannapolis Parkway. The developer plans to build a 277-unit apartment complex there.

Months after securing a rezoning approval, a Virginia-based developer has purchased Kannapolis land for a new apartment project.

In multiple purchases during December and January, HHHunt acquired the 18.7-acre project site for Abberly Edge, a 277-unit apartment complex. The developer, under the name Abberly Edge LLC, paid nearly $4.7 million for the land, according to Cabarrus County real estate records. HHHunt secured rezoning approval in April 2022 to develop the multifamily project there.....................................................................
