A new chicken restaurant, preschool and more join a busy Fort Mill development site.
The Harris Teeter-anchored shopping center at U.S. 21, Springfield Parkway and Old Nation Road has more buildout coming than it has on the ground now. Additions that include homes, food, childcare and more.
The initial phase of Springfield Town Center, beside Flint Hill Fire Department and York Electric Cooperative space, already has the Harris Teeter and about a dozen businesses including Salmeri’s Italian Kitchen, Eggs Up Grill, Papa John’s and Sauce Monkey Spirits.
The overall 7,000-acre mixed-use development has another phase of development coming. Saussy Burbank will build 50 homes. That piece should come next spring. More than a dozen other commercial outparcel buildings are listed on the Springfield Town Center site plan without tenants.
Kerri Robusto, senior vice president with Clear Springs Development, said plans are still in the air for some of the mixed-use commercial space.
“Hopefully we can start designing buildings over the next year or so though which would eventually lead to pre-leasing spaces,” Robusto said.
Some businesses are listed in the plan already. There’s chicken tender, wing and sandwich shop Slim Chickens. An Oakcrest Preparatory Academy and ModWash car wash are coming. Others include Helen Adams Realty and New South Family Medicine.
Springfield Town Center sits a mile off I-77, beside the more than 700-home Carolina Orchards. More than 4,500 people live within a mile of the site. It’s situated between the Carowinds corridor and the Anne Springs Close Greenway.
The new homes and coming outparcel space will sit just east of the existing development, between Mercantile Place and Old Nation Road.
