Providence and Sharon Amity

[appatone]

I know we heard about this project some time ago. I think it was announced sometime near when Rosewood was announced. Anyway, this is the project across Sharon Amity from Rosewood. Everything has moved out and a chain link fence is going up around the peremeter of the site. This is that group of ugly brown buildings. If I recall the plan was fairly ambitious. Does anyone remember what the plan was for this site?

I read that they are going to build remove the buildings there and build a new one. I don't know how big, but I think it is going to bigger than whats there now.

It's a project called Providence Plaza and will be a three story complex that will have a mix of shops and offices.

This is a great example of one of the numerous urban style projects going on in Charlotte's inner ring suburbs. These seem to be popping up everywhere. As a whole, downtown is urbanizing, but so are the suburbs. I need to snap a picture of a great urban building that popped up at Carmel Rd and Hwy 51. Its such a simple concept...an L shaped building at an intersection with parking behind, not out front.

They sure wiped that slate clean. It was a mess when I went by earlier in the week.

[DigitalSky]

Wow. They sure did!

[redjeep77]

Damn....i took the GRE for grad school in that building. Well, guess i won't miss those memories!

[RiverwoodCLT]

Looks like progress is being made on Providence Plaza.

Caribou Coffee, Panda Express, Smoothie King, are some of the tenants I remember reading on the board outside this development. I can't remember the rest since the light turned green and I didn't have time to read it haha...

I am pumped about this project......it won't have unique restaurants but will have well known chain restaurants in the north...it has a Panda Express which is the first that I have heard of one here around here and also a Chipolte (Burrito Bar) that blows Moe's out of the water..I am very excited about it.

a la Dunkin Donuts penetrating the Krispy Kreme stronghold

Chipotle is very good indeed. I can still remember how good it tasted when I ate there like 3 years ago. Mmmm tasty. It's also nice to have some good fast Chinese food around as well.

[rockhilljames]

Somebody in Columbus told me that Chipolte was based there. Not true?

[cltheel.sdl]

^ Well all I know is that the only one I ever ate at was in Boulder, Colorado. That would make more sense to me, as better Mexican food comes to mind when thinking of Colorado as compared to Ohio.

before i read denver from a poster, i was going to add its not a "northern" chain per se but chain based out of denver.

after looking it up . . .

Weird, that High Point's mall got a Panda Express before Charlotte. Oh well, as long as California chains are coming, I wouldn't mind seeing Rubio's Fish tacos, Stix, or Koo Koo Roo show up. They're upscale enough to fit into South Charlotte, if Panda Express is.

Chipotle is excellent - I can't wait. I definitely think their burritos some of the best. This will be a good addition to my lunch options! - Oh, FYI, there's one coming on South Blvd. too -

[RiverwoodCLT]

This project is next to the street and has more of a effect, than the Rosewood which off the road with tree in front.

[DigitalSky]

Thanks for the photos, I'm really looking forward to this project.

[nowensone]

I'm very impressed they kept that row of large trees (oaks?) less than a few feet from the building. Wonder why they didn't go ahead and add a floor or two since they are constructing from of steel anyway. I like seeing this project, is very near the school I was routed to when Albemarle Elem. was partially burned down many years ago.

[revitalize]

the real question is...... will the trees survive

stumbled across this by accident. pretty cool to see an aerial of a redeveloping suburban intersection. the leasing flyer on the CORE properties website shows panda express, smoothie king, caribou, chipotle, etc
