SWINERTON BEGINS CONSTRUCTION ON RESTAURANT IN CHARLOTTE’S SOUTH END
Market on Morehead brings food, drinks, entertainment overlooking Rail Trail.
Swinerton an industry-leading commercial general contractor with offices nationwide, started construction on its latest hospitality project, a 10,000-square-foot restaurant in Charlotte’s South End neighborhood. The construction of Market on Morehead, a sister concept of the successful Market on Main in Columbia, SC, is on schedule to be complete by year-end. The restaurant is expected to open this winter.
“With their creative interiors, innovative layouts and unique construction challenges, restaurants are some of our favorite projects to tackle,” explains Thomas Ivy, project executive, Swinerton’s Carolinas division. “Market on Morehead is particularly exciting as it further activates this stretch of Charlotte’s Rail Trail with an energetic, bold and inviting dining and socializing destination.”
The restaurant is located on the ground level of The Offices of Carson Station at 1001 Morehead Drive.
Co-owned by restauranteur Josh Willoughby, Market on Morehead introduces a new element to the building’s ground floor level overlooking the Rail Trail at Carson Station. The restaurant accommodates up to 400 patrons in an open floorplan with a casual, bistro-style atmosphere. Features include a 62-table dining room with five banquettes of various lengths; a double-sided bar that seats 50 patrons; an expansive, 2,800-square-foot, climate-controlled patio with a 25-foot LED TV visible from the Rail Trail and LYNX rail line stop; a fenced-in turf park for off-leash dogs and interior and exterior performance stages for live entertainment.
