The Charlotte Business Journal reported today that The Common Market will close its South End location on July 30th. The deli and convenience store also serves beer and wine. They will continue to operate their Plaza Midwood location while they search for a new site. Common Market will host a farewell party on July 22nd.
Food Truck Friday, a weekly gathering which shared the site, has relocated to Plaza-Midwood behind the Light Factory at 1817 Central Ave. This growing event has become even more popular and will feature an expanded line-up of food in the future. It is still dog and family friendly.
The site at 1515 South Tryon was sold to make way for a new office building. The triangular shaped, 2.3-acre site is bounded by South Tryon Street, Camden Road and Park Avenue. The plans for the new office building are for 8 stories including 15,500 square feet of retail with parking for customers in a deck. Construction could start soon after The Common Market has moved out.
This area has already seen many changes over the last few years with lots of new development, retail space and housing. Most of the change is due to location and convenience of the area. The Blue Line coming directly through has made this an extremely easy area to live for people working in Uptown Charlotte. South End has always been close, but now it is much more walkable with everything you need close by.
Google Fiber has also been working on permitting to bring its fiber-optic infrastructure to the area making it even more desirable.
