Mavi in Liberty closed

Going to Chipotle this evening, I noticed that the Mavi Italian restaurant in Shoal Creek is now closed.  There was black plastic on the windows and a hand written "Closed" sign.  There were no other notices and the phone went unanswered when I called.  I thought it was a great concept but there is a lot of competition in the 152 corridor that probably did not help with their success. 

Zona Rosa Update

Did some searching on KIVA this morning and found the following permits for Zona Rosa

• Chicos Kiva
  
• Coldwater Creek Kiva
  
• Noodles & Co (I think this is going in the former Rib Crib location) Kiva
  
• Chick-Fil-A (on Barry Rd near ZR) Kiva
  

So here are at least two tenants moving over to Zona Rosa from Boardwalk.  I hope that this isn't a trend with this second phase of Zona Rosa.  It is a good thing to see two restaurants that are new to the northland locating to Zona Rosa.  Hopefully it will also spur new retail to the area as well.

Best Buy in Tiffany Springs MarketCenter Opens June 20

Saw in the Star this weekend that the Best Buy in Tiffany Springs MarketCenter is opening on June 20.  I do not yet know if the Best Buy by Metro North Mall is closing....

Old Navy in Zona Rosa Opening Soon

Took a drive through Zona Rosa this morning and other than noticing that Rib Crib has closed, I saw clothes being loaded into Old Navy. The store looks like its ready to go, I'd think it will be open in two weeks.

New York NY Fresh Deli in Shoal Creek Plaza

A New York NY Fresh Deli is opening soon in Shoal Creek Plaza, right next to Massage Heights. I wonder if its owned by the same franchisee as the failed franchise in Zona Rosa. This leaves only one open spot in Phase I of this development.

Another Zona Rosa Update

Took a trip up to Zona Rosa last weekend. A couple of updates.

• It appears that ground work has begun on the Old Navy (between O'dowds and the new massage place)
• GNC (next to Forever 21) is open
• In the former food court there are signs stating to watch the area for something new in the near future

Carrington Place Vertical Construction

Was out this weekend and noticed that vertical construction has begun on the Carrington Place Apartments (Flintlock and 152). According to KIVA, the complex will have about 270 units. This along with the new apartments off of Barry Rd near Metro North Mall should provide housing during this real estate cool down. It will be interesting to see how quickly this fills up. See below for a couple of pictures I snapped from the car.
