As the first apartment renters moved into Main+Stone this past week, the mixed-use project at the corner of Main Street and Stone Avenue also announced new commercial tenants.
The project is being developed by Charleston-based developer The Beach Company and has 20,900 square feet of retail space and 293 apartment homes. Announced previously, Two Chefs Café & Market will move from its current location in May from the Poinsett Building on Main Street to become the anchor tenant at Main+Stone, occupying 5,000 square feet. The restaurant will expand its scope to offer grab-and-go prepared food options as well as local and regional market items such as seasonal produce and farm fresh eggs and milk.
Seasoned restaurant owner, lifelong Greenville resident and Le Cordon Bleu graduate John Makkas will open Ji-Roz, an authentic Greek restaurant serving lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch late this summer. The 2,500 square-foot restaurant will be equipped with a full bar and large outdoor seating area. Ji-Roz will feature an open kitchen concept with rotisserie meats, traditional Greek sides and pastries, vegetarian and gluten-free options and exclusively Greek wine.
“I love the fact that the members of this community support each other,” said Makkas. “Ji-Roz will be another amenity for residents, families and nearby professionals to enjoy authentic Greek food while promoting a sense of community.”
Megan Diez Salon will occupy 1,854 square feet and is expected to open late summer 2016. The salon carries exclusively vegan products that are both paraben– and sulphate-free. Diez chose Main and Stone for its downtown convenience and easy access to parking.
“The interest level in retail space that we’ve had is incredible,” said Dan Doyle, vice president, development for The Beach Company. “We thought it would take longer to lease but it’s been just the opposite.”
A temporary leasing office along Main Street is currently open for new and prospective residents. One building with 40 apartments is now open, with the others expected to be completed by July. Once the other buildings are completed, the leasing office will move to Stone Avenue and Rowley Street.
Main+ Stone features studio apartments to three-bedroom flats and townhomes. Amenities will include a courtyard pool with sun and shade lounge decks, commercial-quality fitness center, resident clubroom, covered parking garage, urban gardens and onsite retail. Of the 20,900 square feet of retail space, 8,225 is still available for lease.
