Looking Ahead: What’s Next for The Railyard

July 10, 2025

There’s a buzz in the air and no, it’s not just the sound of construction crews and coffee grinders. It’s the unmistakable hum of momentum.



As The Railyard breaks ground and will soon begin to take shape in the heart of Waxhaw, we wanted to pull back the curtain and share what’s happening behind the scenes and what’s coming next.



We’re Building More Than Buildings


From day one, The Railyard was envisioned as more than just a mixed-use development. It’s a place where Waxhaw’s history meets its future, a walkable hub where local dining, curated shopping, creative offices, and beautiful residences all come together to form a true community destination. And that kind of destination takes careful planning, collaboration, and a lot of heart.



Where We Are Now


The design and site planning phases are largely complete, with architectural layouts finalized with unique buildings that will house:

  • Boutique retail spaces
  • Chef-driven restaurants (with outdoor patios!)
  • Creative office suites
  • 50+/- thoughtfully designed residential units
  • A central gathering space: The Village Green


Permitting is underway, and site preparations are beginning. The infrastructure team is currently coordinating utilities, access points, and foundational systems for both public and private spaces.



What’s Coming Next



As we move into the next phase, here’s what you can expect:


Leasing Interest Open – We’re actively in conversations with local businesses, retailers, and restaurateurs who want to be part of The Railyard’s first wave. (Yes, you can still apply!)


Residential Leasing Launch – Pre-leasing for residential units will begin soon. If you're interested in living where the action is, be sure to [join our interest list].

 

Construction Timeline – Finalized construction timelines will be released in the coming months. We’re committed to keeping the community updated with clear progress milestones.


Event Calendar Development – Planning has begun for a slate of signature events on the Village Green: live music nights, seasonal markets, movie screenings, and more.



A Call to the Community


We’ve been overwhelmed in the best way by the excitement and support from Waxhaw residents, business owners, and local leaders. You’re not just watching this development happen. You’re part of it.


If you have ideas for events, want to showcase your small business, or are curious about how to get involved, we want to hear from you.




Stay Tuned


The next chapter of Waxhaw is being written and it’s taking place at The Railyard. Stick with us as we bring this vision to life, brick by brick, story by story.
