I love the 12th South District. Lots of cool new shops, restaurants, and coffee houses have cropped up over the past few years. Not to mention the beautiful homes that have either been renovated or built new from the ground up.
Recently in the Davidson A.M. newspaper I read an article which talked about future plans for the corner of 12th and Paris. Apparently a mixed-use project will be underway which will house 25 residents, 3 small offices and 4 retail units. This new development will replace the current Southern Market and a used car lot. The new development will be called 12th & Paris...how clever. The new build out will contain flats and townhouses that will list between about $175,000 and $290,000. Not a bad price point considering the current average price in the area; but we will see how many square feet these new units turn out to be.
In the hood, most people know the hip coffee shop Frothy Monkey. I personally prefer Portland Brew but I'll leave the details as of why out of this. The owner of Frothy Monkey, Miranda Whitcomb-Pontes (don't know her personally) is considering a new venture which would include her taking part in the 12th & Paris development. Her new creation is Burger Up. This new establishment will of course feature what else but burgers. All kinds of burgers from veggie and vegan to turkey. The new place will also boast a full bar and include seating for at least 75 patrons.
The opening of Burger Up and probably other retailers in the proposed development, is slated for February 2010. Other planned businesses are an art gallery, photo gallery, counseling firms, architecture firm, and an accounting office.
Personally I'm looking forward to growth in the 12th South Neighborhood. I really dig the area and it's whole vibe. It certainly could use a little more and I believe the new 12th & Paris plans will bring to the community a much needed booster shot.
