Decatur’s Arlo development (formerly Trinity Triangle) will feature 210 apartments, but also has three large ground-floor retail spaces. One will go to the city’s venerable Dairy Queen, which has already signed its lease. But Fisher Paty, a partner with Oakhurst Realty, which is brokering the project’s retail component, said that tenants for the other two spaces are still undetermined.
One is a 29,000-square-foot restaurant, which includes an 1,150-square-foot patio wrapping around the development’s rear. Paty said that developer Centro Development wants less a chain and more of a “unique, independent concept, something that you see a lot of in Decatur — something serving lunch and dinner.”
The other is a 1,255-square-foot space that’s received interest from, among others, a chiropractor, insurance company, a boutique and an apparel shop.
Paty hopes to get leases signed by year’s end, although it might not happen until next spring. It’s projected the three retailers won’t open until summer 2016.
