New homes could be coming to proposed Red Line stop in Huntersville

HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. — Members of the Huntersville Town Commission voted Tuesday to greenlight the controversial Birkdale Village expansion project.

Now, Channel 9′s Erika Jackson has learned there are new talks about another possible development near a proposed Red Line.

Station South would be on the other side of Interstate 77, along a proposed Red Line rail stop.

Peak Development has asked the town to rezone more than 20 acres of land on Old Statesville Road north of Sam Furr Road.

Resident Luciana Solano said there are pros and cons to the proposed development.

“I think it’s good but I also agree that it’s getting out of hand and there’s too many people,” Solano said.

The project would include nearly 350 multifamily homes, business space, and a pedestrian village.

“There are a lot of luxury apartments that are not even used,” Solano said. “They keep building more.”

It would be adjacent to the proposed Sam Furr Red Line rail station.

Peak Development says it would include more parking than required with a 25,000-square-foot parking deck and a small road to alleviate congestion elsewhere.

“The traffic already on Sam Furr is insane,” said resident Elizabeth Similey. “So as long as it takes away from that and doesn’t add to it, I’m fine with it.”

If the funding is not approved for that Red Line stop, the plan’s ‘option B’ would remove the parking deck and add more office space.

The developer will present their plans to the Huntersville planning board on Tuesday.
