Birkdale Village could soon be one step closer to expanding its footprint in Huntersville. The town’s Planning Board is scheduled to make recommendations regarding Jamestown LP’s expansion plans on Tuesday, Feb. 25.
Jamestown’s request to rezone more than 12 acres at 8710 Lindholm Dr. may sound familiar. In 2023, the town board denied the former owner’s request to expand the community.
What’s on the table?
Upon completion, Birkdale Village will feature:
- A 125-room boutique hotel with a 3,000-sqft full-service restaurant and bar
- 150-unit apartment building
- Over 26,000 sqft of retail space
- More than 122,000 sqft of office space
- Two free parking decks creating 500+ new spaces for visitors and residents
If approved, phased construction would start in 2027, starting with parking.
Editor’s note: Tenants have not been signed for the proposed project.
Community input
In December 2024, a public meeting addressed resident concern regarding the project and traffic. Jamestown representatives confirmed Birkdale is dedicating land for a future “Townley vehicular bridge,” potentially easing traffic.
The project should not change current Birkdale Village retailers. However, Barnes & Noble’s lease ends in 2026 and is in talks with developers to find a smaller space.
What’s next?
After the recommendation is made by the Huntersville Planning Board, a final vote by the Board of Commissioners is expected on March 18. If approved, the expansion would generate $200,000 in additional annual property tax revenues for Huntersville.
