A post on the SRG blog reveals plans for a renovation of the building at 1648 Main Street (pictured above). This is the building on the South West corner of Main and 7th.
Ready for occupancy in time for Main Street completion, the building will feature 3,500 square feet of retail or restaurant space and 14-foot ceilings. Sidewalk dining is an option, and parking exists on- and off-site.
The architectural renderings (below) reveal plans to leave the “brick arcade” intact, adding an aluminum canopy. Based on the renderings, there appears to be 4 bays for potential businesses.
SRG also recently broke ground on the Lofts at Third and Main project. The Metro Jacksonville post New Loft Project Breaks Ground in Springfield reveals the following about that project
the 38,969 square foot building will include 36 apartments and 7,500 square feet of retail space. It will also add a 3,000 square foot urban grocery market to Springfield’s Main Street corridor.

Here’s to retail following!!! Now that they will have new facilities and a solid community to support business - they have to come, right?
WTF is an “urban grocery market”? I’m still waiting for the Whole Foods to open so I don’t have walk around the DC airport with grocery bags every month.
Whole foods will be open in Mandarin before this one. Think of the money you will save on air travel.
“WTF is an “urban grocery market”?
Its something a little larger than a convenience store that sells basic necessities like dairy products, bread and produce. Something like Grassroots in Five Points.
