Whole Food to anchor CityLine, new restaurants open this summer

Aug 29, 2014

It’s been an exciting summer with new ownership on several Richardson
shopping centers, new restaurant openings, remodeling projects underway and
more retail stores coming into Richardson. 

 

  It’s official! Whole Foods is coming back to Richardson at the CityLine Market, a new retail development by Regency Centers at the massive CityLine development. CityLine Market will open in early 2016 at the northeast corner of Renner Road and Plano Road.  Regency will be developing and leasing this 81,000-square-foot center on 11.3 acres with anchor Whole Foods.  The grocery store will be about 40,00 square feet with a mezzanine area and outdoor patio, and the remaining 41,000 square feet will have several restaurant pads and service retail.

 

Latest restaurant
openings:

Ten50 BBQ at 1050 N. Central Expressway is now open for lunch, and dinner will begin in mid-September. Crowds have been packing Larry Lavine’s “smoking” Central Texas-style barbecue restaurant. Larry’s wife, Ann, is turning out her awesome desserts and pies, including her special banana pudding. 
 
   
 

Applebee’s newest design concept is featured at E. Belt Line and Plano Road (next to Wendy’s), and will open in early September. It replaces an older site at 1610 E. Belt Line which was the first Applebee’s in Texas approximately 25 years ago. That old site has been transformed into a second location for Nico’s Tex-Mex Cantina.  

Fadi’s Mediterranean Grill has opened in the former Humperdink’s building at 1601 N. Central Expressway. The Houston-based company has transformed the old rustic building into a beautiful Austin-stone finish oasis complete with palms and two large patios. The interior is just as attractive with granite counter-tops along the buffet line, dramatic stone flooring, and imported chandeliers.  A private room seats almost 40. This is the fourth Fadi’s in the Dallas area.  

Taco Joint, the Austin-style taco restaurant, has opened at the Heights Shopping Center at 100 S. Central Expressway and Belt Line, near Alamo Drafthouse Cinema. Open for breakfast at 6:30 a.m. through dinner, Taco Joint adds to the “Austin vibe” at Heights!  

Coming soon:

Opening
this fall:  Dal-Rich Mercantile, featuring Arts, Antiques and Chic
Boutiques (a sister store to the fabulous Frisco Mercantile), will be
opening this fall in the Dal-Rich
Shopping Center. Store manager
Elke Nutterfield will be managing the Richardson
site which will eventually feature over 200 unique shoppes/boutiques
offering gifts, collectibles, antiques, furniture, jewelry, women’s &
children’s apparel, fine art, home decor, interior design, florals and
more.  

 
The
now vacant Luby’s building at Canyon
Creek Plaza is being redeveloped by Shop Companies and leased by David
Sacher. Watch for some exciting new tenants and more plans for the
adjacent buildings in the center in 2015.

 
Arapaho Village Shopping Center, anchored
by a Tom Thumb grocery store at 819 W. Arapaho
Road at West Shore
Drive, has new owners, WASA Properties of New
York. Leasing will be done by John
Rutledge with UCR. Plans are to
make several upgrades to the site.

 

Richardson Plaza, a 115,000-square-foot building at 189 W. Campbell Road at Alamo Dr., just west of Central Expressway, was purchased by Dallas-based Leon Capital Group. The first new pad tenant is Pollo Tropical, which will begin construction later this month.  

The former Albertson’s site at NW corner of E. Belt Line and Plano Road is being redeveloped by Leon Capital Group with Rob Solls, director of leasing courting prospect tenants.  

The vacant site in the 700 block of S. Central Expressway will be the new home of Richardson Restaurant Park from Dallas developer Kirk Hermansen and leasing agent Perren Gasc with Centennial Real Estate. We expect the restaurant announcements this fall.

We also
anticipate announcements for new tenants at CityLine Plaza later this fall. Leasing contact is John
Giesler, Retail Street Advisors.

Tuscany Italian Bistro, a 3,100-square-foot
restaurant at Brick Row development on E. Spring Valley
at Centennial Blvd.,
is under construction anticipating opening later this fall.

 
A new
multi-tenant building will begin construction shortly in the 4100 block of
E. Renner Road. Owner
Doug Huey and Weitzman Group agent Joey Keffler have confirmed a new
medical and dental tenant and expect to have a restaurant announcement in
the coming months.
