Editor's Notes

  • #48 I want to start with a Chatham County landscape 101. We have two industrial megasites that are actively marketed with the state and other partners for large economic development projects. I’m not going into detail with those today, but know that when a large industrial user comes, that will have a ripple effect on commercial and residential real estate throughout the area. We have four municipalities, Siler City, Pittsboro and Goldston, and the town of Cary stretched over the Wake County border. Governors Village, Governors Club and Fearrington Village are well-established residential communities with commercial components. They are all still growing, particularly the commercial in Governors Village. And then there’s Briar Chapel and Chatham Park, which I’m going to dig into deeper.
  • #49 First, Briar Chapel. Briar Chapel celebrated its 10-year anniversary this year. It’s a planned mixed-use development and the top-selling community in the Triangle.
  • #50 Here is an aerial from 2016. The growth in 2017. And now, doing a 180, the new construction as of June. They are approved for up to 2,400 single family homes. To date, have sold 1,700 homes. Did 296 new homes in 2017. There are a mix of home styles, and plenty of community amenities, including 900 acres of open space, trails, schools on-site, and most recently, commercial space.
  • #51 So I’m keeping this little master plan in the corner while I go through these slides so we can orient ourselves. We just covered the residential development. Here is Veranda, the northern-most commercial piece, which is completing its second full year. There are several restaurants and cafes, a pharmacy, an urgent care, a dentist, a dermatologist, a barber shop, an eye doctor, an attorney’s office and a daycare. It’s connected to the homes by a trail and provides residents all around the “work and play” part of the Live Work Play equation. Every one of these is locally owned, and the daycare is a locally owned franchise.
  • #52 Here’s the next phase, named The Verge. Site work is nearly done. There will be a site for multi-family development. We are sorely lacking apartments in Chatham County. Then there will be a grocery store as a retail anchor, with outparcels available. The first construction will be Central Carolina Community College’s new Health Sciences building. That groundbreaking was last week. It will really anchor this development as a place with students, instructors and constant activity.
  • #53 The southernmost portion will be senior living/skilled nursing with some commercial pads available. I’m going to flip so you can see how 15-501 runs north to south. The big question: timeline: Anticipating The Verge to open in 2020 with all commercial work wrapped up by 2022.
  • #54 Next for Chatham Park, I have a video.
  • #57 Those are the major highlights. There’s activity within Pittsboro and Siler City. Siler City has a new manufacturer that is hiring 1,200 people, so the town is buzzing. Pittsboro is working closely with Chatham Park, which is in their jurisdiction, and addressing growth challenges and opportunities. I want to close on one major piece of public policy that was adopted last fall and that our office can help you with. Chatham County has a new comprehensive land use plan. That land use plan directs growth to the municipalities and within different development nodes. The type of allowable development for the different nodes is defined in that plan. If you want to buy, sell, list, rezone, develop a parcel in Chatham County, you need to be aware of this plan and its application to a parcel. And we can help you navigate that to streamline the process. We’re here to support job growth and investment in Chatham County, and real estate brokers are a significant part of that mission, so please reach out if you think there’s something we could help with.
