Planning Board OKs plans for hotel-conference center and apartments
Proposed Sefton Park development outlined in red
Aug. 12. By Dave Vieser. The Cornelius Planning Board has unanimously recommended approval of a major new mixed-use project with 344 apartment units and a 113-room hotel and conference center on 10 acres of vacant property on Sefton Park Road opposite the CATS transit station.
South Carolina-based Shaw Resources also plans 7,800 square feet of commercial space. All told, there would be three buildings on 10 acres of vacant property just east of Planet Fitness.
Development principals Jack Shaw and Don Shaw hope the CATS station will be a natural connection for commuters into Charlotte.
An additional lot which is part of the proposal is located on the southeast corner of Sefton Park and One Norman Boulevard.
Road improvements
The approval recommendation requires the builder to extend turning lanes on several nearby roads at their expense.
Town Board has final approval
The Town Board hearing and a possible decision on the project is currently scheduled for Monday Sept. 20.

You might use a current map. I think the other side of Catawba is already developed.
Does this include affordable housing?
I’m sure all these people will be using the CATS system across the street like they do now.
Can’t get the road / traffic situation done ,,, but keep approving more building ,, someone’s pockets must be filling up !!! Probably same pockets filled by the 77 toll lanes , bridge disaster, diamond exchange,, I could go on and on but I got to get out the door and go sit in traffic
Well said Tom!
This should certainly ease the traffic on Catawba.
