New shops coming to popular south Charlotte development that’s being renovated.
The Strawberry Hill development that’s being renovated in south Charlotte will soon get four new retail tenants: Alexander Scott, a home interiors store; Deka Lash, an eyelash extension salon; restaurant Mezeh Mediterranean Grill and a spa called Spavia.
Strawberry Hill is the shopping complex at Providence and Sardis roads where a newly constructed Fresh Market store opened this fall, replacing an older location in the complex.
A number of other new tenants have been confirmed for Strawberry Hill, including a Superica restaurant, a pet store called Hollywood Feed, Dunkin’ Donuts and MOD Pizza, a Seattle artisan-style pizza chain.
Once renovation of Strawberry Hill is complete, the center will have approximately 17,000 square feet of new shop space, according to a statement from MPV Properties, which manages Strawberry Hill. Marsh Properties is the owner/developer of the center.
