Knox Crossing: 420 Units and a Grocery Store Coming to Huntersville

Huntersville just took a big step toward the kind of walkable, convenient lifestyle many Lake Norman residents have been asking for — and it’s happening right in the town’s fastest-growing corridor.

A proposed development called Knox Crossing could bring 420 new homes and a full-size grocery store to the area, signaling a shift in how Huntersville is planning for its future.

What Is Knox Crossing?

Knox Crossing is a 44-acre mixed-use development proposed at the intersection of Sam Furr Road and Old Statesville Road, a location already seeing significant growth and infrastructure investment.

According to submitted plans, the project would include:

• 324 apartment units
• 96 townhomes
• Over 70,000 square feet of commercial space
• A 45,000-square-foot grocery store serving as the anchor tenant

This isn’t just another residential subdivision — it’s designed to combine housing, retail, and daily conveniences in one centralized, walkable location.

Why This Development Matters

Huntersville’s population has grown rapidly over the past decade, but one thing hasn’t kept pace: grocery access.

Outside of areas like Birkdale Village, many residents still rely on longer drives for everyday errands. Knox Crossing directly addresses that gap by placing a major grocery store where people already live — and where more people are moving.

Even more notable: the developer has specifically referenced the site’s connection to the future Red Line Transit Center. That’s a major signal. Transit-oriented developments typically become more desirable over time, especially as infrastructure plans move closer to reality.

In real estate terms, that often translates to higher long-term property values.

Part of a Bigger Vision for Huntersville

Knox Crossing isn’t happening in isolation. It’s part of a broader strategy by the Town of Huntersville to move away from pure suburban sprawl and toward intentional, mixed-use centers.

Consider what’s already underway:

• Town1 recently broke ground with 696 residential units
• Huntersville Town Center is currently under construction
• The town is prioritizing density, walkability, and centralized amenities

The goal is clear: build a true urban core where people can live, shop, and gather — not just a collection of neighborhoods for Charlotte commuters.

What Knox Crossing Means for Homeowners, Buyers, and Investors

This project could have ripple effects across the local market:

For homeowners nearby:
New grocery and retail options typically boost surrounding property values and make neighborhoods more desirable.

For buyers:
An additional 420 residential units means more inventory and more lifestyle options in Huntersville — especially for those who value walkability.

For investors:
Properties tied to future transit access tend to perform well. Transit-oriented developments often command 10–20% price premiums over time, making this area one to watch closely.

What Happens Next?

• Public hearing: February 3
• Final decision expected: March 17

If approved, Knox Crossing would become another key piece in Huntersville’s long-term growth and urbanization plan.
