STEELE CREEK NEWS
Steele Creek
is "Active Development Area"
(6/3/2001)
In an article in the Charlotte Observer on June 1, Doug Smith
reported that another townhouse development is coming to the area.
This one is called Savannah Townhomes. It will have 218 units and is
located on South Tryon Street about a half-mile south of the
Carowinds Boulevard intersection.
This is only one of the many developments of single-family and
townhouse units popping up in the area almost daily, and the
following quotes from Smith's article explain why.
"Southwest Mecklenburg, one of the Charlotte area's biggest
industrial and office employment centers, is becoming a magnet for
residential development as well."
"Developers have started Savannah Townhomes, a 218-unit project that
targets people working in office parks and warehouses clustered" in
southwest Mecklenburg.
"'That's definitely what attracted us: there are a lot of jobs and a
lot of people who can afford to buy our townhomes,' said David
Nance...who is spearheading the project..."
"Southwest Mecklenburg has emerged over the past few years as one of
the county's most active development areas. Water and sewer lines
are being extended to the area, and road improvements are making it
more accessable."
"Developers say lower land costs make vacant tracts in southwest
Mecklenburg attractive to home builders operating in the county's
most active sales price range for houses and condos: $100,000 to
$139,000."
"Steele Creek residents are likely to see even more development as
the outerbelt is completed between Interstates 85 and 77 by
mid-2003."
