Volunteers from Triangle Off-Road Cyclists (TORC) continue to make progress on the emerging network of trails in Briar Chapel. Here are some pictures from their most recent work day. Approximately 15-20 miles of trail will ultimately be built, and open to the public, as construction advances through Briar Chapel.

Initial Briar Chapel Homesites Sold Out

Newland Communities announced today that 15 contracts were signed for new homesites during a private preview event held between May 31 and June 6. Briar Chapel’s first buyers were able to personally select their homesite from Phase I of the 2,400 single and multi-family homes planned for the community over the next eight years. Read more...

If you weren't one of the initial buyers, don't fret. There will be plenty of opportunities for us to get together and identify your ideal homesite and builder. Just be aware that the current incentives won't last forever, and prices are likely to increase over time.

Give me a call at 919-360-1285 if you'd like to schedule a tour of Briar Chapel. In addition to showing you around, I would be delighted to discuss the green building and environmental sustainability initiatives they're implementing and practicing at this new 1,589 acre mixed-use, master-planned community.

LEED-Certified "Briar Club" Completed

Briar Chapel's clubhouse, the Briar Club, was recently completed and looks incredible. This LEED-Certified (pending) facility includes a number of gathering rooms (many with beautiful stone fireplaces), a state-of-the-art fitness facility, catering kitchen, classrooms, and offices for HOA staff. All of the artwork, furniture and decor was chosen with one thing in mind, nature. Outside, they're still working on the two pools, a diving well, water slide, splash pad, cabanas, barbecue areas, a children's playground, and picnic glade. I hope you enjoy the slideshow I've put together.
