The Chicago developer on Dec. 22 acquired a total of seven parcels at the 2.75-acre site that is currently home to Midnight Diner and Uptown Cabaret at West Morehead and South Tryon streets, according to Mecklenburg County real estate records. CBJ broke the news last month that Riverside was targeting the property for a mixed-use development that will have about 800,000 square feet of office space, 650 residential units and 50,000 square feet of retail space.
The project’s total construction costs are expected to reach up to $750 million.
Longtime owner Brian Dominick confirmed to CBJ’s Jennifer Thomas in November that Midnight Diner will relocate, but has yet to release specifics.
