The project’s first phase, which includes 70,000 square feet of retail space, is 100% leased. It’s inked deals with 19 tenants, with the first retailers opening in 2024.
The final two tenants — restaurants Mister O1 Extraordinary Pizza out of Miami and Fox Restaurant Concepts’ Culinary Dropout — are slated to open later this year. Homegrown concepts, including The Olde Mecklenburg Brewery, chef Jim Noble’s Rooster’s Wood-Fired Kitchen, and Copain restaurants, as well as Harriet’s Hamburgers, have carved out a niche there.
The developer has added green space and the popular Stream Park, an amphitheater and an apartment tower. Long-coveted grocer Wegmans chose Ballantyne for its first store and is slated to open later this year.
