140 West Franklin Street New Sales Gallery Opens in Chapel Hill
Have you noticed the number of condominium buildings under construction and pre-selling in Chapel Hill and Carrboro? Franklin Street is Chapel Hills Grand Strand and of all that's going up and planned, the development with the "best" address is 140 West Franklin Street. It has been years in planning and will be built on corner of Franklin and Church Streets. It's expensive real estate but if location is the key to success this development has it.
You might have heard about it as "lot 5". There will be 140 homes, 26,000 sq. ft. of retail space and a 30,000 sq. ft. plaza. The developer and town have been working together to make the development an arts and community gathering place.
I stopped by the new sales gallery, located at 126 West Franklin Street, last week to find answers to some questions from an interested client. Phil Patterson, who many will remember from his days representing Meadowmont, showed me around.
Touring the gallery I saw a scale model of the buildings which really helped me visualize the project from different viewpoints.
Next we took a look at a seating area surrounding a gas fireplace similar to what residents will have in their clubhouse which will be located on top floor of the building.
There is a bath vignette and also a full working kitchen showcasing appliances, counter tops,back-splash, cabinets and flooring.
There is something for every ones taste in the selection room where clients can work with the builders representative or bring their own designer.
Reservations are being taken for presales but make sure you take your buyers agent with you on your first visit. It won't affect the price you pay and representation is important especially with pre-construction purchases. Visit my website for more information about why you need an experienced in new construction buyers agent.

Looks like an exciting new addition to the streetscape of Franklin Street. Thanks for the details... and your qualifications surely meet what buyers need when considering a presale or new construction. Very cool project and hoping buyers take time to call you for representation before going to onsite sales.
Keep us posted on the progress...
