There were plans a year or two ago to build a “big box” retail center on that corner, with Target being the anchor. In all likelihood they are clearing the land now so they may have the center up once the economy is on the rebound.

Wow, there is a Target about a mile from there already.
I am completely dumbfounded by how the city lets this happen, especially in an area they are putting a friggin light rail station in.
I live beside that space. Its way too small for a Target. At least the space they have cleared so far. A Target would be way too big there and would be too much beside the greenway. I would be willing to bet that will be a gas station.

Yeah, it’s a good bit of land that they’ve cleared, but it is still wayyy too small for a Target. A lot of the land around there they cannot touch because it’s greenway space.
I guess it will probably be yet another gas staition.

That area, while not owned by the U, is listed on the U masterplan as an enviromentally “valuable” area. The greenway and Mallard Creek would limit anything in size in that space. Every intersection needs 3 gas stations and a fast food place, right?
It’s a medical plaza. I can’t remember for who though. A friend of mine works at the hospital up the street and told me that that is what they are building in there.

Knowing the city, it’s some sort of frivolous cash-guzzling enterprise. I just hope it isn’t somehow related to increasing the capabilities of CMPD or the Mecklenburg DA, that’d actually be useful.
