Posted by I Love Murphy on

Cherokee Harrahs Casino Valley RiverAt the Mountain Lakes Board of Realtors Luncheon today, two representatives of Harrah’s, one of which was Lumpy Lambert, were kind enough to join us and provide an update on how the casino construction project is going here in Murphy, NC. They were able to provide some great updates I thought I would share with you:

  • They said it will take “at least 900 jobs” to run the casino with an estimated payroll of $32-39 million.
  • There will be approximately 50,000 square feet of gaming.
  • It will not have a restaurant initially. It will have a “Food Market” that will feature four food company choices and are planned as follows:
    • Nathan’s Famous
    • Panda Express
    • Starbucks
    • Earl of Sandwich
  • They have multiple phases in development. Phase 1 is what they are building now and each respective phase will build on the next. With 86 acres, there are many opportunities of what’s to come.

As progress continues to develop, you’ll hear it in many sources. They’re estimating and August 2015 opening. We will see more of what’s to come.

Cherokee Harrahs Casino Update for Murphy NC

Posted by I Love Murphy on

Earlier in July, I shared my thoughts on what impact I believed the casino coming to Murphy would have. The project is still unquestionably on and scheduled to be built. They have begun clearing the site and the grade work has started. It is scheduled to be open and ready for business sometime in June 2015. Cherokee County has shared with us some projections for the project being built, and I wanted to share that presentation with you.

Cherokee Indian Tribe to Put Casino in Murphy NC

Posted by I Love Murphy on

That’s right – it was front page news today in The Cherokee Scout.  The Cherokee Indian Tribe has 793+/- acres secured to potentially grow their casino business from the Cherokee to Murphy (the land is actually in Marble, which is between Murphy and Andrews NC). The growth of this enterprise will be a huge influx of capital and jobs to Cherokee County and give our beautiful mountain area another attraction for folks to come and enjoy. The opportunities to be created here are amazing!

How will this affect real estate values? Right now it’s not even happened yet, so the effect won’t be immediate. There likely will be some “land grabbers” who will purchase land around the future casino site as an investment. As the casino is built and future development, restaurants, etc. are built up, surrounding land values will most likely increase. If you’re searching for an investment opportunity, you have the highest opporunity for reward early in the development.

With the Cherokee Indian Tribe expanding into Marble, now’s the time to invest smart. Contact us to secure prime murphy nc real estate before values rise.

Looking to capitalize and buy land around the future site? Email us or call today to secure the best buys and investments early in the project!
