Savona Food Works is expected to open in 2027 at 500 S. Turner Ave.<\/a>, Atlanta-based developer Portman<\/a> said Wednesday. Construction will begin in six months, Portman said.<\/p>\n

The first phase of redevelopment of the mill<\/a> was announced five years ago at the nearly 30-acre site that includes retail and apartments, plus an outdoor amphitheater, green spaces, a rooftop deck and a plaza.<\/p>\n

Portman declined to disclose the cost of the project.<\/p>\n

The 30,000-square-foot space will have about 25 stalls, a full-service restaurant, a coffee shop, a flower market and rooftop bar, Portman said.<\/p>\n

The food hall will be in the historic \u201cWeave\u201d building, a single-story building originally developed in the 1900s.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell-executed food halls have the ability to become true community gathering places that reflect the culture and energy of the neighborhoods that surround them,\u201d food hall operator Robert Montwaid said in statement. \u201cThe goal is to bring together local chefs and entrepreneurs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Montwaid is known for food halls like Gansevoort Market in the Meatpacking District of New York City, and Chattahoochee Food Work and The CTR in Atlanta.<\/p>\n

The Savona Mill development in the Seversville, Smallwood and FreeMoreWest area spans 27 acres, centered on a 105-year-old former textile mill that has been converted into 200,000 square feet of creative office space.<\/p>\n

The property currently includes 319 multifamily units, with a second phase of residential construction slated to break ground next year.<\/p>\n

Portman Holdings\u2019 other Charlotte projects include: 615 S. College St. office tower; The Westin Charlotte<\/a> 25-story hotel at 601 S. College St.; The Line<\/a> mixed-use; 16-story tower at 2151 Hawkins St.; and Linea<\/a> residential high-rise at 2161 Hawkins St.<\/p>\n
