A CVS pharmacy and a J. Crew factory store will be among the ground-floor commercial tenants in the Georgia Heights student housing development under construction in the old SunTrust Bank parking lot between Broad, Lumpkin, Clayton and Hull streets downtown.
The 13,000 square-foot CVS is expected to open in 2016. It will offer pharmacy service, personal care products, groceries and digital photo services, according to a news release.
Clothing retailer J. Crew has leased 6,000 square feet fronting on Clayton Street.
Dahlonega-based Dress Up Boutique, a women’s clothing store, is leasing 2,600 square feet on Clayton Street.
D.P. Dough, a college-town calzone chain with late delivery service, is also opening in the development.
Georgia Heights is a six-story, 292-bedroom luxury apartment building with one-, two- and four-bedroom units and 43,000 square feet of commercial space. It’s scheduled to open next month.
The development’s website doesn’t list rents, except that double-occupancy one-bedroom apartments are available for $625 a month per person.
