Contractors are set to temporarily close Market Street SW and Spring Street SW on July 25 from approximately 3 a.m. to 12 p.m. This closure is part of ongoing work on the Novi Rise property, located directly behind City Hall in Downtown Concord. The Novi Rise project is one of three residential and mixed-use developments that aim to enhance the area as a hub for living, dining, and entertainment.

During this period, both streets will be closed to through traffic. Business owners will maintain access to their properties, while parking on Market Street and Carolina Courts will remain accessible via Spring Street.

Drivers should note that Barbrick Avenue SW remains closed due to work on the new Downtown Streetscape. City officials initiated this streetscape project in June, which aims to increase downtown's curb appeal and facilitate new dining, shopping, and entertainment opportunities.

The Novi Rise development is part of a trio of projects being undertaken by Lansing Melbourne Group (LMG) in Downtown Concord. In August 2021, LMG began work on Novi Rise, Novi Flats, and Novi Lofts—together representing an estimated $70 million private investment in the area. Of these projects, Novi Rise is the largest with an estimated $38.5 million investment. It will feature 167 units including studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments with underground parking and retail space at street level.
