West Tallahassee Undergoing Changes?

Perhaps a hardware, or landscaping store.

I'd say that would be a good fit, but w/the big orange and big blue store just up on Cap Circle, it would be a tough market area.

Besides, the big box isn't that big (only 33,000 square feet).

Yeah I caught that. Maybe one of those over-sized General Dollar Stores??? I think they call them General Dollar Markets. All their store types seem to be growing like weeds these days and do well when competing w/Wally-World.

Pre-Submittal

7. Office Depot Truck Well Addition (21-29-20-225-0000) (TPA070008) located on 9.20 acres at 4400 West Tennessee St. The proposed project is the construction of an additional 500 sq. ft. building and a recessed truck well to an existing building. The property is zoned CP (Commercial Parkway).

Is this for a new Office Depot on the Westside? The address indicates it is in the Wal-Mart shopping center at Cap Circle & Tennessee Street. I don't get by there too often.

^Wondered the same thing Glenn when I read this. My best guess is that Office Depot wants to add to the building that use to house Lowes and was sub-divided into two parcels. One part now has a Beall's Outlet in it. I assume O.D. wants the other half?? I guess they are asking for an addition to the rear of the bldg. for trucks???

Of course that is all speculation on my part....anybody know anything more??

I can see that being a good location for an office supply store with all of the car dealerships nearby to serve. I've often wondered what they were going to do with the extra space.

^I use to live on Mission Rd. They have been building a whole bunch of little town houses on that side of town lately.

[Florida]

You're right. These ought to be nice when the whole complex is complete. I still can't believe the money they want for these things. Its ridiculous!

[fsubelch]

I will be moving to this side of town in July (to the new Crescent Hills area) and I would love to see a Publix on this side of town. I believe I made a post about this a few weeks back. I am not a fan of the Ocala St. Publix. I think there is enough people to build a Publix somewhere on this side of Capital Circle.

[psycuda]

Glenn was right!

It would have been nice to have this when my office was out there. Such is life....

I was looking through the City's agenda and happened to see this one:

Campus Circle Redevelopment (TPA070086) (21-26-25- A-0030) located on 13.25 acres just NW of the Basin St./Tennessee St. intersection. The proposed project is for the redevelopment of the existing site into 700 residential units at a density of 52.8 units per acre and the construction of an additional 60,000 square feet of retail. The property is zoned CU (Central Urban).

It seems that the sections of Tennessee near campus are about to be built up something fierce, between this project and the one down the street next to Qdoba.

[Florida]

What will be down the street next to Qudoba?

^Oh I believe TCS did their demographic's homework very well by placing this store where they did. That's not a jab at them or the west-side at all, it's just smart planning.

^ I also agree on the smart demographics planning and store placement. I've also noticed their store up in Thomasville seems to be doing quite well.
