Birkdale Village Brings A Taste Of Nantucket To Lake Norman

Huntersville, NC, March 10, 2000 - Birkdale Village brings the charm and warmth of a New England seaside town to this Lake Norman community only fifteen miles north of Charlotte.

This 52-acre mixed-use development will combine working, shopping, dining, entertainment and cozy living along a pedestrian-friendly main street with colorful shop windows and cheerful gardens.

Located on Sam Furr Road, with easy access to and from Interstate 77, Birkdale Village is not just another 'shopping center,' but a destination. The main street theme will bring together a variety of activities to create an inviting community day and night. Familiar retail tenants, such as Borders Books and Music and Eastern Federal theaters, will blend with unique specialty shops and restaurants for a total of 325,000 square feet of retail, restaurants and entertainment space. Nestled above the retail space will be 252 luxury apartments developed by Crosland Properties. Forty-eight condominium homes will line the main street, and 75,000 square feet of premier office space will round off the community's offerings. Birkdale Village is directly across the street from Birkdale's Arnold Palmer golf course, named by North Carolina magazine as the best new course in the state for the 1997 season. Four other premier golf courses are a short drive away: NorthStone, The Peninsula, The Point and River Run. The Crosland Group has partnered with Pappas Properties to develop Birkdale Village. The two companies are credited with some of the region's most popular and lucrative retail communities including Phillips Place, Sharon Corners at SouthPark, Jetton Village at The Peninsula, and StoneCrest at Piper Glen.
