We are excited to share some major news about a significant expansion that’s set to impact the Route 211 corridor in Brunswick County, NC. We’ve discussed before that several developments are either in progress or have been approved, but this latest project is particularly substantial.
Recently approved, this new development spans 1,500 acres and will introduce a total of 3,700 units, including much-needed workforce housing. One of the positive aspects of this project is that 30 acres have been allocated to the County, providing potential space for community needs such as new schools or other public services.
While this expansion brings exciting opportunities, it hasn’t come without its challenges. The County has faced some backlash due to existing infrastructure struggles, particularly in handling the traffic and services for such a large addition. However, the planned expansion of Route 211 to four lanes could help address some of these concerns, improving the flow and connectivity in the area.
The development plans are quite impressive: they include 2,950 single-family lots, 330 townhome sites, and 26 acres dedicated to commercial use. A standout feature of the project is its commitment to green space; preliminary plans show that 650 acres will be set aside as open green areas. This includes an amenity center, a large pond, and walking trails, promising a blend of residential living with nature and recreation.
Though construction hasn’t started yet, it’s clear that this will be a major development for Route 211 and the surrounding community. As details continue to unfold, we’ll keep you updated on this project’s progress.
