According to the developer, the center will have five natural water features, courtyards with seating and a well landscaped streetscape.

Plans include 244,000 square feet of retail on the first level, 100,000 square feet of apartments and office space on the second floor, up to 200 villas/town homes, multiple restaurant sites, one hotel site, a 16 screen movie theater, a drug store and a bank site. Two companies have already announced: Hampton Inn, and Rite Aid drug stores.
The Union Cross Towne Centre will be a great new addition to this part of Kernersville!

Kernersville celebrates the re-opening of Main Street, with a street party on Saturday October 18 from 10am until 2pm.
Main Street through downtown Kernersville re-opened on October 3, after being closed since June 17. The 1.66 million dollar project included water and sewer mains replacement, as well as complete reconstruction of the road bed. Power lines were moved to the rear of buildings, and new sidewalks and street lights put a final touch on the project.
The Kernersville Downtown Preservation and Development Council hopes that the street party will bring people downtown to see the new streetscape, and also get people into downtown businesses that will be open following the ribbon cutting ceremony at 9:30am. You can also expect to enjoy music, concerts, food and children's activities.
For more information, call the Kernersville Downtown Preservation and Development Council at 336-993-7583.

Technology based Real Estate services for the Triad area of North Carolina.
My focus is the residential side of real estate. I like working with new construction, first time buyers, and boomers. First time buyers are fun, they are always very enthusiastic and exited about their first real estate purchase. I also like working with boomers, perhaps since I am a borderline boomer myself.
I do not believe in being pushy or overly aggressive to get people to do business with me. I believe that the consumer today has a vast amount of information available to them already, and they do not want a pushy salesman. They want a friend. I like to build relationships based on a very respectful conversation, while learning as much about them as I can. I have found that doing business this way always leads to a successful win-win relationship. I had a computer engineering/consulting business for over 20 years using that same philosophy, and it always worked very well.
As a real estate professional, I make every effort to deliver a level of service that far exceeds my clients' expectations. This is the first step in building long lasting relationships that are more than just a successful real estate transaction.
Communication is the most important means to provide the best possible customer service. I pledge to keep my clients updated on a specific schedule. Since everyone has different expectations, I ask my clients to tell me how often, and by what means they wish to hear from me, and then I follow it exactly.
