KANNAPOLIS, N.C. — The next significant piece of a years-long downtown Kannapolis revitalization effort is formally underway.
Local leaders today held a groundbreaking ceremony for the Stadium Lofts mixed-use project, which developers say will serve as the gateway to Atrium Health Ballpark.
The $40 million project is being developed by Right Field Development LLC, which is a partnership between Kannapolis Cannon Ballers owner Temerity Capital Partners and Lansing Melbourne Group.
The development calls for two buildings to be constructed just beyond the right-field wall of the ballpark with a range of uses.
The first building will include 34 apartments, along with retail space and a location for Towel City Tavern, a bar and restaurant opening there in 2023. That building also will house the team store and offices for the Cannon Ballers. The second building will include the remaining 60 to 70 apartments, along with retail space, developers said.
