Pappas Properties has secured approval from the Monroe City Council for Monroe Village, a mixed-use project designed to combine retail, housing, and infrastructure upgrades in a single master-planned development. The plan calls for a national grocery tenant, a range of residential options, and extensive transportation and roadway improvements funded by the developer.
Harris Teeter is slated to serve as the grocery anchor for Monroe Village. The project envisions a walkable retail village organized around the grocer, with space for additional shops and restaurants. Plans also include banks, professional offices, medical offices, and a central gathering area that will function as a focal point for community activity within the development.
The residential component of Monroe Village is planned for 340 multifamily units. According to the approved program, these homes will comprise 128 garden apartments, 89 townhomes, and 123 attached homes, along with some detached single-family for-sale homes. This mix of formats is intended to offer a range of housing choices within the same project footprint, from rental apartments to for-sale single-family product.
A significant emphasis is placed on open space and resident amenities. The plan includes 70 acres of open space, providing room for both passive and active recreation. Featured amenities will include a dog park, a fitness center, and a pool, as well as courts that may be configured for pickleball or tennis. Additional features such as a bike repair station and a putting green are also part of the approved program, supporting both recreation and alternative transportation use.
As part of the approval, Pappas Properties has agreed to commit $5 million toward transportation and roadway improvements associated with Monroe Village. These improvements are expected to support access to the site and surrounding areas, aligning the mixed-use program with broader infrastructure enhancements. The project, anchored by Harris Teeter and supported by a broad mix of retail, services, and housing types, moves forward under this entitlement framework from the Monroe City Council.
