Cabarrus County Courthouse Expansion
Physical construction on the 250,000-square-foot Cabarrus Courthouse expansion/renovation began in 2020, and officials expect the entire project to last about five years. Plans included the relocation of the courthouse entrance to a pedestrian plaza built on the former Means Avenue. This will allow for better access from Church and Union streets. The project will update the nearly 50-year-old building and help with a continued increase in court traffic.
The Cabarrus County Courthouse expansion project won the 2024 NC Main Street Award of Merit for Best Public Building Improvement in the Design category.

P.M. Morris Building Renovation
Renovations are underway at the P.M. Morris Building located at 50 Union Street South. The building was originally erected in 1903 by three sons of Phileman Milton Morris for whom the brothers named the new structure. The private developer will renovate the upper floors into 14 apartment units (13 one-bedroom and 1 two-bedroom). Apartments include hardwood floors and tile for bathrooms, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, views of historic downtown, surface parking, etc. The Lofts On Union were completed in Spring 2024.
Sawmill Tavern and Charros Mexican Restaurant coming soon!

The Annex
The former City Hall Annex located at 66 Union St. S has undergone a modern and state-of-the-art renovation. The City sold the building after City offices relocated to the new City Hall.
The City of Concord recently opened a non-profit center on the lowest level of the building, containing 10 office spaces and access to a shared conference room. Eligible applicants are 501 (c) non-profits that benefit the general public and contribute to the City’s cultural, social, and economic vitality. Please contact Kassie Watts at 704-920-5155 for leasing information.
The main and second levels are for lease by Craver Properties and will offer customizable retail, restaurant, and office space perfectly positioned in the heart of Concord. Strategically located on the corner of Union Street South and Barbrick Avenue, The Annex is across from the Cabarrus County Courthouse and the Cabarrus Center of Innovation and Entrepreneurship.
In addition to opening the non-profit center in the basement level, the City supported the project by granting a 3-year performance tax-based incentive that will be paid from new property tax revenues that the project generates.
