The Forest Marketplace shopping center in Carolina Forest is on the verge of completion, featuring a variety of retail spots, including restaurants and services. Anticipation is building as the grand opening approaches, promising to be a vibrant hub for the community. With multiple culinary options, it will cater to diverse tastes while also contributing to the local economy. Residents have expressed concerns about potential traffic congestion, which is under review. The Marketplace aims to enhance the area’s shopping and dining experience, set to open its doors by the end of 2022.
Excitement is building in Carolina Forest as the construction of the much-anticipated Forest Marketplace shopping center is nearing completion. Conveniently located at 2248 Carolina Forest Blvd, this new retail hub is adjacent to a newly opened Shell Station and convenience store, promising to become a vibrant center of activity for residents and visitors alike.
The Forest Marketplace is set to feature nine retail spots, catering to various needs and tastes. Among the tenants is the Chinese eatery, Lucky Panda, which is expected to serve delicious dishes that locals have been craving. In addition, a stylish nail salon named Sky Nails will provide pampering services, creating an all-in-one stop for visitors.
Perhaps one of the most exciting additions to the Marketplace is the Italian restaurant, Nonna’s Taste of Italy. Aimed at delivering an authentic Italian experience, Nonna’s will offer an array of delectable items, including individual 10-inch pizzas, flavorful paninis, and delightful gelato. Patrons can also indulge in a variety of beverages at the restaurant’s coffee bar, as well as enjoy alcoholic options. Plans for an outdoor patio are in the works, providing a perfect spot for families and friends to gather.
The property where the Forest Marketplace is being built was acquired by Royal Panthera LLC for a reasonable price of $390,000. Now, with its current market value estimated at approximately $544,000, it seems that this endeavor will present a promising opportunity for investors and the local economy.
In tandem with The Marketplace at The Mill, which will be anchored by a Publix supermarket, the Forest Marketplace is expected to create a thriving retail environment. New businesses signed to join the Mill include Fortune Asian Bistro, Sweetberry Bowls, River Oaks Pizzeria, Firehouse Subs, Great Clips, Grande Nails, and Heartland Dental. The entire Marketplace is projected to be fully leased even before construction reaches completion.
The Mill is not merely a shopping center. It encompasses a significant six-acre parcel designated for non-retail commercial uses such as medical facilities, office spaces, and storage. Additionally, Hawthorne Residential Partners is developing the luxury multi-family community, Hawthorne at The Mill, featuring 290 planned units on an adjacent 20-acre site, indicating an influx of residents to the area.
While the development has generated enthusiasm among potential shoppers and diners, local residents have voiced their concerns regarding possible traffic congestion stemming from the new Marketplace. This issue is being scrutinized as Match Property Managers continue to seek community-friendly tenants, including plans for an additional Mexican restaurant, which could further enhance the area’s dining options.
The businesses at the Forest Marketplace are expected to open their doors by the end of 2022, marking a significant addition to the Carolina Forest community. With an array of shopping and dining options, the Marketplace is projected to become a bustling hub, bringing together families, friends, and neighbors, all in a cozy, community-focused environment.
