Belvedere Theater Leads Greenway Business Center

Belvedere Family Dentistry opened this fall in the 1950s-era landmark, which had sat empty for nearly two decades and is now part of the Greenway Business Center. Built as a cinema for blacks, the Belvedere Theater on Rozzelles Ferry Road has been revived and given a new purpose. The Charlotte Mecklenburg Development Corp. (CMDC) started developing the Greenway Business Center four years ago, buying three old buildings and 30 acres near the intersection of Rozzelles Ferry Road and West Trade Street. The group got the land ready for development and, working with Mecklenburg County, added a greenway along the adjacent Stewart Creek. The park currently has 11 buildable sites for sale and about 5,000 square feet available for rent.
