Borrowless Properties plans redevelopment of mixed-use site in Indian Trail

The Planning and Zoning Board meeting held on April 15, 2025, in Indian Trail, Union County, focused on a proposed development project that aims to transform a heavily wooded area into a mixed-use space. The project, which involves the demolition of an existing residential house, is currently owned by Borrowless Properties LLC from Georgia.

During the meeting, officials presented a future land use map from the 1941 comprehensive plan, highlighting the planned mixture of office and commercial spaces. The area adjacent to the proposed site includes the Old Hickory light industrial park, while further along Highway 74, the land is designated for more commercial use.

Visual aids, including street photos from a recent site visit, were shared to provide context. The images depicted the site from various angles, including views towards Highway 74 and nearby landmarks such as the First Baptist Church of Indian Trail and Metrolina Christian Academy.

The development plan includes two access points: the primary entrance on Indian Trail Fairview Road and an additional access from Union Beltway Road. The project also aims to enhance the existing buffer between the residential areas and the proposed development, which was established when the shopping center was created.

Overall, the meeting underscored the ongoing efforts to balance development with community needs, as the board considers the implications of this mixed-use project for the future of Indian Trail. Further discussions and decisions regarding the project are expected in upcoming meetings.
