Four other businesses have leased space, and Mi Pueblo Mexican Grill has begun building nearby.

The two retail buildings are located on the east side of University City Boulevard just south of the I-85 Interchange. Starbucks, Firehouse Subs, Firenza Pizza and Venice Nail Bar will also open here. One final 2,100-square-foot space remains available.
