Downtown Asheville Construction Underway
DOWNTOWN ASHEVILLE -- Demolition on a former Asheville restaurant is underway to make room for more downtown development.
The development will be called City Centre and feature a four-story office building with a parking deck, and right next door, a six-story Hilton Garden Inn with 149 rooms.
The construction project is well underway at the corner of Montford Avenue and Haywood Street.
The Hyatt site was once home to the landmark restaurant Three Brothers, but that closed in July 2011. Two-days after that, TK Tripps shut down.
Now more than three years later, the abandoned restaurant is being torn down.
Rusty Pulliam is an Asheville native and developer who has seen a lot of change to Asheville. His City Centre idea is the latest in those changes.
"Our downtown has really made a lot of progress in the last 15 years, but the next 5 years is gonna be magnified probably five to tenfold." Pulliam says.
It will be the new home of BB
