Kings Glen was planned by ECI Custom Homes for 93 single-family lots on 43 acres, but the firm declared bankruptcy in 2010 and the property passed to Crescent State Bank, which subsequently merged with VantageSouth Bank headquartered in Raleigh. This year Kings Glen Development in Knightdale purchased the property for $1,610, slightly more than the Wake County appraised value. Clearing and clear-cutting began in October 2013 although much of that property was clear cut in the past. Along with the access from Bishops Grant on Strategy Way, Kings Glen homeowners will be able to go and come on Copper Glen Lane, which will be rebuilt and paved as part of the infrastructure construction.
