Bruton Smith prevailed over the troubles he had with the town of Concord and broke ground on his drag strip across from Lowe's Motor Speedway last Tuesday. The $60 million project is due to be open in time for an NHRA event Sept 11th to 14th. Concord officials say that their initial cautious reluctance stemmed from concern over noise. Smith's design for the drag strip will use special wall materials and a sound-absorbing grandstand to address the issue. After threatening to relocate the entire project, local government promised Smith $80 million in incentives to stay, most of which will be realized as improvements to area roadways around and leading into the speedway complex. Smith is running a contest to name the drag strip. Currently it's referred to as The Dragway @ Lowe's Motor Spe... 03/11/2008

2008! It was the best time to buy real estate, it was the worst time to buy real estate. This years real estate market is definitely going to be one for the books. To be sure, if you have shaky credit or an unsure employment picture this is probably not a great time to be trying to get a loan for a house. However, if you got the credit and the income, this market is offering once in a life time deals. Existing home prices are dropping by the month as sellers get more desperate to avoid foreclosure or other problems. New home builders have all but stopped new home construction, and are laying off workers. In fact, those builders who aren't offering deep discounts on the price of the house are throwing in more and more incentives just to move inventory.It's also a mixed back for investors... 02/27/2008

Billed as “The Pinnacle of Contemporary Luxury”, plans are still moving ahead for the Arcadian Residence and Resort on Speedway Blvd in Concord, NC. Slated for completion no later than Fall 2012, the 151 unit, 13 story complex will offer condominium units from $395,000 up to $3 million and feature a signature restaurant and up-scale retail shops. Judging on the success of Bruton Smith's addition of condo spaces to Lowe's Motor Speedway in the late 80s, as well as pre-sales of his own project, Steve Lee (president, CEO, and founder of the company behind The Arcadian) is confident he can pre-sell every unit in the complex. This is good, since the company financing the project has set it down as a requirement before ground is broken. So, is the market tight or not? Especially for high-end... 01/30/2008

Yep....you read it right. Concord is welcoming it's first luxury residential high-rise (and a pretty good one if I may say so!). Arcadian Residence & Resort is the name, and it is being described as "The Pinnacle Of Contemporary Luxury." Standing thirteen (yes thirteen!) stories high, it is staking it's claim on Speedway Boulevard, across from the beautiful new Embassy Suites, and right between Lowe's Motor Speedway and Concord Mills. New Arcadian residents will only be seconds away from Rocky River Golf Course, and I couldn't have picked a better spot myself!Some of the amenities offered will include a main floor restaurant, retail, VIP club, theater, fitness center, terrace level pool (complete with a "cool down" bar), a putting green, and an oh so important secured parking garage.Sev... 01/18/2008

  Proposed Front Elevation for "The Strip at Concord" A preliminary site plan was submitted January 9, 2008 for the $60-million drag strip that will be built near Lowe's Motor Speedway.

Now is the best time to buy a home in Concord. Why? There are several good reasons:Mortgage Rates in ConcordMortgage rates in Concord are the lowest they have been in years and will be rising soon. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have already announced changes that will impact home loan rates and cause them to jump. Experts, including myself foresee this happening very soon, so locking in a low mortgage rate now would be a great move allowing you to get the best home loan!Homes for Sale in ConcordRight now, there is a great selection of homes for sale in Concord. This has created a buyer's market in Concord that we have not seen in a very long time! By acting now, you may get the best deal in Concord real estate that you will ever get.

As much as I often rail against the uber-liberal news media and their drama, I do have to give kudos to journalist Doug Smith, who is in charge of business news at The Charlotte Observer.I had a childhood that made me into the person I am today.  A childhood spent on my family farm, over a century in the making.  Next door to my grandparents, across the street from my aunt and uncle.  With woods to play in, creeks to find crawdaddies in, old gold mines to explore.  Hard work was a part of life there-I learned to drive at the ripe old age of 13, in the hay truck (the bales were too heavy for me to life-still are!).  I'd give anything for my kids to have the same thing.But they won't.  Time doesn't stand still and neither does progress.  We were once at the very edge of Charlotte's civili... 11/28/2007

Today at 2pm, city of Concord leaders and represenatives from SMI will announce the incentives package that they gave to Bruton Smith and his track to stay.  As a NASCAR fan, I'm pleased that the track will remain close, however I wouldn't be too happy if I were a Concord or Cabarrus County property owner.  A source close to the incentive talks said the incentive package would be worth about $80 million and that it would be paid in two portions - $60 million now and $20 million in 36 months. The $60 million would be shared between the city and the county, said County Chairman Bob Carruth, and would go toward road improvements around the speedway.  The $20 million will come from the state.  While losing the speedway would have been devistating to the local economy, the city of concord an... 11/26/2007
