Huntersville commissioners just unanimously approved a major mixed-use project last night that will anchor one of the town’s future Red Line stations, marking a significant step toward transit-oriented growth in north Mecklenburg County.
The 21.3-acre development, called Station South, will rise along the east side of N.C. 115 just north of Sam Furr Road. Peak Development plans 278 apartments, 70 townhomes, two commercial buildings and a parking deck beside the planned Red Line platform. The board highlighted the inclusion of five attainable housing units, offered for 15 years at 80% to 120% of area median income.
Planners allowed an extra floor of residential height for marketing purposes, topping out at four stories.
The project also aims to ease congestion along N.C. 115. Seagle Street will extend through the site and connect to Sam Furr Road, creating a new four-way signal at the main entrance. Peak will also realign the Mayes Road intersection with N.C. 115, an area known for trapping large trucks on the railroad tracks.
The Red Line will eventually run from uptown Charlotte to Davidson, with future plans to reach Mount Mourne and stops at Hambright Road, downtown Huntersville and north of Sam Furr Road. The Sam Furr station design is still being finalized.
Developers also plan 300 farmhouse-style walk-up apartments, 321 urban flats and 75 townhomes, making Town1 one of the region’s most significant residential expansions.
Together, Station South and Town1 signal a new development era for Huntersville—one built around transit, density and walkable neighborhoods that mirror Charlotte’s most successful growth corridors.
