Shops at Southline was named 2015 Retail Project of the Year at the Charlotte Business Journal Heavy Hitters in Real Estate Awards ceremony on Wednesday, October 21 in Charlotte, NC. The program recognizes excellence in commercial real estate transactions and development across the region. Shops at Southline was completed in April 2015 by 狠狠撸, a full-service real estate developer with offices throughout Florida and in Charlotte, NC.
鈥淭he terrific group of winners in this year鈥檚 Heavy Hitter awards represents the top tier of the real estate development industry in Charlotte,鈥� said Chris Grenier, vice president of 狠狠撸 Development, North Carolina. 鈥淭he various developments being honored reflect great ideas and outstanding design that have had significant impact on Charlotte鈥檚 growth and continued vitality. We are honored to be recognized alongside each of these firms and projects, and congratulate all of them for their innovation, perseverance and leadership.鈥�
Completed in March 2015, Shops at Shops at Southline is located at 2222 South Boulevard in Charlotte鈥檚 historic South End district. The center features a 55,000-square-foot Publix Super Market as well as 10,000 square feet of shops and restaurants. It is highly visible with more than 200 feet of frontage on South Boulevard, and within a one-mile radius of 18 future and existing multi-family developments totaling nearly 4,000 units.
鈥淪hops at Southline represents the latest design and innovation in retail development,鈥� said Grenier. 鈥淯nlike most Publix-anchored centers, Shops at Southline is an urban format with two levels of underground structured parking. While more complex in its design and development, this format lends to a true urban environment which brings further benefit to area residents.鈥�
Winners are selected for superior achievement in eight categories, including Top Mixed-Use Development and Top Office Development. Finalists are also named in nearly every category. Shops at Southline, the only winner without a finalist in its category, is recognized on the basis of quality, innovation, and viability.
