Tech giant Apple Inc. is bringing a retail store to Huntersville’s Birkdale Village.
The town’s planning department confirmed today that a permit for an Apple Store there has been filed and approved. The Birkdale Village location stands to replace the Apple Store that abruptly shuttered at Northlake Mall earlier this year.
Construction has kicked off on the project at 8805 Townley Road — formerly home to Girl Supply and Pier One Imports. Mecklenburg County permits show the project is valued at $8.6 million.
Birkdale Village owner North American Properties is listed as the owner on the permit, which describes only retail store improvements. Roughly 9,800 square feet is to be renovated, with landlord improvements to prepare the space for a new tenant layout and modification of the exterior. The tenant scope of work will include improvement of the existing leased space with non-structural partitions, ceilings, finishes, furniture and related infrastructure work.
