    A Charlotte-based brewery has expanded its footprint beyond the Queen City.

    Suffolk Punch Brewing hosted guests at its new Birkdale Village taproom near Lake Norman at a soft opening Saturday, Dec. 13, an employee told CharlotteFive.

    It’s the brewery’s third Charlotte-area location, joining existing taprooms in South End and SouthPark.

    “Whether you’re stopping by for a quick beer, meeting friends for snacks, or settling in for a full hang, there’s truly something for everyone,” the brewery wrote in a recent Instagram post.

    The Birkdale Village spot had faced some construction delays, and owners spent more than a year getting permit approvals from the City of Huntersville, The Charlotte Observer previously reported. The two-story building features a full-service bar downstairs, plus a rooftop bar with seating overlooking The Plaza.

    “The energy, amazing outdoor experiences, and community focus that Birkdale provides overlaps with what we provide guests at Suffolk Punch,” co-owner Seth Stidham told The Observer at the time.

    “We’re absolutely stoked to join the stellar lineup at Birkdale and to serve all of our friends in the Lake Norman area.”

    As far as the menu, customers can expect:

    • “Easy-drinking favorites” including Blue Daisy Pilsner
    • Seasonal cocktails
    • Suffolk pretzel with Blue Daisy beer cheese

  • Birkdale Village is sold again, less than a year after an Atlanta firm bought it

    Birkdale Village in Huntersville has a new owner – a global property investment firm with $92 billion in assets — less than a year after its sale to an Atlanta-based real estate giant.

    Terms were not disclosed Wednesday of developer Jamestown’s sale of the property to Houston-based Hines U.S. Property Partners.

    Hines announced the acquisition in a news release Wednesday afternoon, calling the iconic mixed-use development near Lake Norman a “premier” community that is 99% leased.

    In May, Birkdale Village was up for sale less than a year after getting a new owner, The Charlotte Observer reported.

    Two months prior, the Huntersville Board of Commissioners approved Jamestown’s request to add to the development a 125-room, full-service hotel, 150 multi-family units, 26,715 square feet of commercial space and an office building.

    History of development ownership

    In August 2024, Jamestown announced the acquisition of Birkdale Village owner North American Properties’ Atlanta subsidiary. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

    Jamestown’s projects have included some of the most iconic buildings in the U.S., such as One Times Square, where the New Year’s Eve ball drops in New York City.

    Jamestown also is a joint owner of two North Carolina properties: Optimist Hall in Charlotte and the mixed-use development, Raleigh Iron Works.

    Birkdale Village was a joint venture partnership with Jamestown, Nuveen Real Estate and North American Properties, Jamestown said.

    The community was among the first of its kind in the Charlotte area when it was built in 2003 by Charlotte firms Crosland and Pappas Properties.

    In 2022, North American Properties’ invested $20 million to transform the 52-acre property into an entertainment destination with the addition of an outdoor stage, green space and retail kiosks. Retailers include Apple, lululemon, Pottery Barn and Williams Sonoma.

    Birkdale Village had a total assessed value of $37.3 million in 2023, Mecklenburg County public tax records show. Its current assessed value is under review, according to the county.

    Notable Hines buildings are The Lipstick Building in New York City, a 34-story building that opened in 1986 at 885 Third Ave., known for its curvy design; and the largest skyscraper in Texas, the 75-story JPMorgan Chase Tower in Houston.
