Cabarrus County landowners

Understand your Cabarrus County land’s options.

Cabarrus combines a large industrial base around Concord and Kannapolis with ongoing activity near the Mecklenburg line. Prepared sites compete for the same buyers as raw land, which shapes what owners should expect.

A major industrial anchor

The Grounds at Concord, the former Philip Morris site, covers more than 2,100 acres. Red Bull, Ball, and Rauch broke ground there on a 2.3-million-square-foot facility in September 2025.

Prepared sites are competition

Cabarrus EDC lists almost 200 properties for sale or lease, including 40- to 700-acre greenfield sites with utilities on site. Raw land competes with these for buyer attention.

Address isn’t jurisdiction

The 132-acre Mulberry Employment Center has a Concord mailing address but sits in the Town of Harrisburg’s jurisdiction.

Questions Cabarrus County owners ask

My mailing address says Concord. Whose rules apply?

Not necessarily Concord’s. Jurisdiction is set by official boundaries, not postal addresses. We confirm it before anything else.

Is my land better suited to industrial or residential use?

That depends on access, neighboring uses, zoning, and utilities. A review shows what’s known on each and what would need to be confirmed.

Why would a buyer choose raw land over a prepared site?

Sometimes they won’t. Prepared sites with utilities can move faster. A review helps you see the gaps a buyer would weigh.

How the review works

1

Share your goals

Tell us about the property and what you hope to achieve — sell, partner, wait, or simply understand.

2

We review the information

We check public records for zoning, utilities, access, and nearby planning activity, labeling each finding.

3

Agree on next steps

We talk through what’s known and unresolved, and the next step that fits — including doing nothing for now.

What the review does and doesn't establish

It does: organize public information about your land, label each item by how well it's supported, and suggest a next step that matches your goal.

It doesn't: appraise your land, confirm boundaries, guarantee zoning or utility approval, or commit any buyer.

Requesting a review doesn't obligate you to sell or to take any next step.
