So it will be underground?

[tufsu1]

interesting question....there is an underground concourse there connecting the parking garage....and it does/did have retail space

[fsujax]

i hope not. Isn't there empty retail space in the lobby of the BB&T tower?

Is there a timeframe for these builds?

[fsujax]

it seems to me the one in the BB&T tower will happen first. Not sure of the exact dates.

[thelakelander]

I park in the BB&T garage. The concourse level is the tunnels connecting the garage with BB&T and 121 Forsyth. There are a few restaurants down there. There's empty retail spots as well.

The concourse level is exposed to the street near Bay on Hogan.

According to DVI, 7-Eleven will be on the first floor (street level) of the garage at Forsyth & Julia Streets. Nice location, imo.

Do you know the status on the 7-11 in Avondale?

[thelakelander]

It's dead.  Neighborhood didn't want it and they moved on.

[cline]

Interesting.  The last I heard was that there was some opposition in the neighborhood but I didn't know it was that strong.

I would have liked a 7-11.  Bummer.

Well, it wasn't the best possible thing that could go there, but seriously, do the residents prefer an empty building?

[acme54321]

I wouldn't complain if they brought one to San Marco!  I guess Avondale is just too good Slurpees and new buildings

[thelakelander]

I think this is going in an empty spot at the concourse's entrance at Hogan and Bay. If it isn't 7-Eleven it's definitely something going in there. There was busy interior construction buildout taking place about 15 minutes ago.

Yay! No more driving to Old Dixie Highway to get a Slurpee! Finally...
