Mixed-use plaza planned for W. Central
By Jessica Dyer / Journal Staff Writer
The Albuquerque developer behind the Aveda Institute and Vinaigrette project has more in store for the Central Avenue corridor between Downtown and Old Town.
Jay Rembe said he plans to start site work early next year on Country Club Plaza, a 3.4-acre mixed-use development near the intersection of Central and Laguna SW. The project eventually will feature 80,000 square feet of combined commercial, office and residential space.
Five Star Burgers and Chama River Brewing Co. each already have signed leases for spots in the development and talks have commenced with a few more potential tenants.
Attracting tenants is getting easier, Rembe said, because Aveda Institute, a salon and cosmetology school, and Vinaigrette restaurant are flourishing nearby.
Rembe and Aveda Institute owner Mark Pardo Gonzales worked to convert an old movie theater into a salon, school and office. It opened about two years ago at 1816 Central SW.
Restaurateur Erin Wade moved in next door, turning a onetime grocery building into Vinaigrette. The popular salad bistro opened last November.
