It is the first business to open at the new complex.

Yates Service has assumed management of the new 7-Eleven. It did not manage the former 7-Eleven at the site.

That convenience store closed in September 2012 to make way for the construction of the new complex.

The concept plan approved in June 2011 described a mixed-use development for commercial use “consisting of a free-standing 3,000 square foot 7-Eleven building on the east end of the site; an 18,000 square-foot two-story retail/office/auto service building on the west part of the site; and a two-level parking structure (one level below grade) behind the buildings with a small surface parking lot between the two buildings.”

A circular-shaped pedestrian plaza with landscaping at the corner of Braddock Road and Mount Vernon Avenue was part of the approved proposal.

The development includes 3,000 square feet of space for a restaurant tenant. Other use in the complex will include office space for the nearby Yates Automotive and a new Yates Green Dry Cleaners.
