Confetti rocketed skyward and the ground was blessed!
Northern American Properties celebrated its ground breaking on Wednesday (Jan. 26, 2022) for the redevelopment of Birkdale Village. Tim Perry, Managing Partner, welcomed the crowd and explained their unique “blessing” of the ground. (View the video below.) The Mayor of Huntersville, Melinda Bales, thanked North American Properties for their commitment to the Huntersville community. It was a chilly afternoon, but Birkdale Village provided cozy hats and drinks to keep everyone warm! The music was lively and everyone was excited about the upcoming changes.
Traffic patterns have changed
The roundabout in the center of Birkdale Village has been removed to make room for The Parkway, The Plaza, and The Grove — three new experience centered venues. Three standalone retail “jewel boxes” will be added to The Parkway. The Plaza will have a 6,000 sq. ft. shaded green space with soft seating, a huge LED screen, and a covered stage. The Grove will have 4 small retail “pods” housing food vendors and merchandisers. Click here to see what the new spaces will look like!
