Birkdale Village
Huntersville, NC
Birkdale Village is an 52-acre urbanist residential, retail and office mixed-use community located in Huntersville, North Carolina. In October 2021, ownership presented its vision to bring the outdated Birkdale Village back into relevance through a $55 million retrofit delivering a reimagined guest experience.
The revitalization project focused heavily on enlarging and enhancing the public realm and implementing new experiential amenities. At the heart of the Village sits a new 6,000-square-foot Plaza with soft seating, a covered performance stage, and public restrooms, all anchored by a concierge building.
Another core upgrade was the activation of a once-empty greenspace called The Grove, now home to a Tiny Retail District with four 200-square-foot pods designed to serve as incubators for short-term pop-ups from small, local business owners. Other major cosmetic improvements included the addition of brand-expressive storefronts and three standalone retail jewel boxes, the installation of digital directories and public Wi-Fi, refreshed building facades, and the creation of a social district, allowing guests to purchase and enjoy to-go drinks from onsite restaurants while perusing the property.
