Work Begins on Redevelopment of Loehmann's Plaza

Today's Herald Sun reports that the long suffering Loehmann's Plaza, a dilapidated (and 2/3 empty) shopping center bordering the northern side of our neighborhood is about to get a major boot from a partnership between Duke Medicine and Glenwood Development, a Huntersville-based developer which owns the shopping center.

The new development, dubbed Croasdaile Commons, is slated to feature 67,000 square feet of space for the new Duke Medicne Center, in addition to 17,258 square feet of retail, service, and restraint space and
11,000 square foot pharmacy. Despite significant upgrades to the existing retail space, most of the current businesses, including a neighborhood staple Papas Girlle, are expected to remain.

The new development will be located across the street from the newly constructed 248 units of multifamily Clairmont Apartments.
