T.G.I. Fridays & Starbucks Coming to DT Macon

The Ramada Plaza has begun a 12 million dollar renovation under its new ownership, and will now be a DoubleTree brand hotel. The section of the building on the corner of First St. and Walnut St., which currently houses the Sales Dept. will be gutted out and constructed to house both entities. The rejuvinated hotel and the addtion of two well known restaurant establisments will be a great addition and a catylist for more growth in this section of dowtown.

I was wondering when Jack in the Box would enter the Georgia market. Its been here in South Carolina for a few years now. Also, the Drury Inn looks nice. About like the one they just finished in Greenville not too long ago.

I've never had Jack In The Box, im looking forward to getting the chance to dine there.

I read that article, i am starting feel like the rest of the people, unless Macon get a Open minded and smart Mayor and City Coucil and not a whole bunch kids playing tug-a-war, it going to have a on going struggle to gain any benefits as other city it size in other states, Macon is so far behind i'm starting to think Macon will continue to be a large country town who wants no better than warehouses, farms and country stores. Until Macon get some Officals who can work together and make some real plans and fall though with it.... For examples Look at cities like Chattonooga, Mobile, Montgomey and even Brunwick can get things rolling better that Macon. Macon Has so much potential and it's all about to slip though if there not a great mayor and council selected. I hate to say but that why everybody want to move to atlanta because the 2nd tier cities has nothing to offer.

Summary of Macon Lifestyle centers developments:

New projects in various stages of development with more than 2.5 million square feet of space:

The Shoppes at River Crossing: Construction is under way on a $100 million open-air lifestyle center with 750,000 square feet on Riverside Drive at Interstate 75. It is expected to open in spring 2008 with upscale specialty stores, restaurants, two anchor stores and five mid-sized anchor stores.

Market Place at Bass: A 130,000-square-foot Bass Pro Shops off New Forsyth and Bass roads is the anchor store for a 200-acre site where Macon real estate firm Fickling & Co. plans to build an additional 400,000 square feet of upscale retail shops, restaurants and a hotel.

Lullwater Village: The project at Bass Road at Starcadia Circle has been planned as a lifestyle development with 284,000 square feet of shopping space on a 26.4-acre site across from Bass Pro Shops. The preliminary design calls for small retail and specialty shops and entertainment stores with ample landscaping and outdoor benches.

North Macon Towne Centre:

The conceptual plans for the project adjacent to the Providence subdivision call for a lifestyle, mixed-use development with 750,000 square feet of space on about 96 acres in Bibb County. Another 12 acres for the project is in Monroe County. The first phase would have about 500,000 square feet.

North Winds Square: This development is planned on about 46 acres surrounded by Riverside and Wesleyan drives and New Forsyth and Bass roads. The conceptual plan shows 22 out-parcels for restaurants, banks and small retailers. These out-parcel lots — which traditionally contain free-standing buildings — will be 1-acre and 2-acre tracts with buildings 4,000 to 9,000 square feet each, according to the plan. A 15-acre interior parcel with a 144,000-square-foot building for a proposed big-box user is also planned.

Hartley Station: A mixed-use project is planned on about 1,100 acres of undeveloped land at Hartley Bridge Road and Interstate 75 in south Bibb County. Plans call for 1,700 homes, a grocery store, restaurants, medical offices and a movie theater. The development also includes space for three hotels, a home improvement center, an elementary school and several hundred acres for green space and parks.
