New Huntersville Wal-Mart moving ahead

Construction permits were issued last week for a new Wal-Mart Supercenter in Huntersville, part of a massive new development at N.C. 115 and Alexanderana Road.

The Huntersville Board of Commissioners approved the Wal-Mart, in the 400-acre Bryton development, last year. The mixed-use development is near an interchange between I-485 and I-77, and across from the large new Hendrick Luxury Auto Mall.

The permits, issued May 30, show the store will have 148,865 square feet of heated space. The construction contract cost is listed at about $14.5 million. The store will be Huntersville's first Wal-Mart. It's likely to be completed by May 2013.
