Lincoln Harris and Chartwell Property Group Acquire 19.55 Acres of Land for 71,000-Square-Foot Retail Development in Southern Pines, North Carolina

David Connor

RALEIGH, N.C. (May 15, 2015) — A joint venture between Lincoln Harris and Chartwell Property Group has acquired 19.55 acres in Southern Pines, North Carolina, to develop Morganton Park South, a 71,000-square-foot retail center at 2482 Morganton Road. 

Completion of the center is slated for the summer of 2016.

Morganton Park South is uniquely positioned to serve Southern Pines, Pinehurst and Aberdeen. 

Part of the 188-acre Morganton Park master-planned community, Morganton Park South will be the first phase of development on the south side of Morganton Road. 

Morganton Park South is adjacent to established retailers including Kohl’s, ULTA, Hobby Lobby and the Sandhills Stadium 10 movie theater. 

“With a fantastic location convenient to downtown Southern Pines and Pinehurst, and with more than 16,000 vehicles passing by each day, we believe Morganton Park South will be very successful,” says David Connor of Lincoln Harris.

“We anticipate the available space will lease quickly to high-quality tenants. We are excited to have Lowes Foods anchor the project, especially given their recent rebranding campaign. Their new store concept provides an enjoyable shopping experience on par with, if not better than, any grocer operating in the Carolinas today.”
