Family-owned floral shop to leave longtime spot in South End - Charlotte Observer (blog)

Elizabeth House specializes in weddings, birthdays, funerals and other events. The shop recently put up a sign out front to indicate it’s moving. Its rent on South Boulevard is set to nearly triple. Meridian Commercial, which owns the building nearby that houses Westport Big & Tall, bought the Elizabeth House property in late October, according to Bob Beausoleil of Meridian. Property records show Meridian bought the site for $1.35 million. “The amount of interest right from the start shows how hot South End is right now. We have had interest from several high-end retailers and a few restaurant/bar users. We are now in serious talks with a couple of the retailers,” Beausoleil said in an email. Renovations on the space begin in early January, Beausoleil said. The strip on South Boulevard where Elizabeth House currently operates is changing rapidly. Nearby, Benjamin Moore Paint Store, for instance, last month vacated its spot because of a rent hike. It’s now at 3609 South Blvd. Next to the paint store’s old spot, Westport Big & Tall will either remain upstairs or relocate downstairs, depending on who is signed on as a new tenant. Also nearby, Boston-based Fallon Company is working with the Charlotte Housing Authority on a huge new $330 million development that will include mixed-income housing, a hotel, office space, and 57,000 square feet of shops and restaurants. http://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/business/biz-columns-blogs/whats-in-store/article185236648.html
