Rayzor Ranch Town Center getting more businesses, apartments | News

This story has been updated to correctly identify where the development is located.

Two restaurants, an apartment complex and four other businesses were announced as the next occupants of Rayzor Ranch Town Center, a development on the south side of West University Drive, according to a press release issued Monday by RED Development. 

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen and Zoës Kitchen will be open next summer, with construction starting this year. Cheddar's, a national restaurant with a classic American menu such as burgers and steaks, will be in its own building space of 7,500 square feet. Zoës Kitchen is a fast-casual Mediterranean restaurant based in Plano. It's unclear whether it will have its own building or be part of a strip complex.

Construction of the apartment complex will start early next year. EPC Real Estate Group now owns the 11 acres on which the complex will be built, and it will be called the Villages at Rayzor Ranch. Plans include 292 luxury apartments, ranging from studios to two-bedroom units, a dog park, resort-style pool, cabanas and exercise facilities.

Additionally, Massage Envy and Brain Balance were part of the announcement. Massage Envy, a national chain that offers massages and other therapies, is set to open in summer 2018. Brain Balance, a center to help children with issues such as academic and social problems, will open in October.

The company also formally announced two projects that have already been announced in other ways: A Rooms To Go that will open in this spring and Andy B's Entertainment and Bowling Center, set to open in fall 2018. Rooms To Go, a furniture retailer, will be 40,000 square feet and Andy B's, an entertainment complex with laser tag and games, will be 41,000 square feet.

He pleaded guilty to murder late last year, now the case of a maintenance worker who killed a Blinn student is back in court. The parents of 20-year-old Jenna Verhaalen are suing the Bryan apartment complex where she was killed. Verhaalen was strangled at the Autumn Woods Apartments in 2008, by 27-year-old maintenance worker Jeremiah Rosser . The suit claims Autumn Woods ignored complaints made about Rosser. Specifically, a complaint they claim Jenna made to Rosser's boss, when he entered her apartment while she was in the shower. The suit alleges the complex's negligence led to Jenna's death. Attorneys for Autumn woods said management had no reason to believe Rosser was a risk. However, that's not what the complex's corporate office told News Three in 2008. Back then, a spokesperson said Jenna complained to the maintenance supervisor about Jeremiah Rosser , but never filed a complaint with the office. Rosser quit his job at Autumn Woods several day

Charlotte affordable housing forum raises possible solutions

There’s a big demand for more affordable housing in Charlotte, where rents and home prices have shot up much faster than wages over the past few years. Many of the apartments being built now target more affluent renters, waitlists for housing vouchers are long and starter homes are snapped up almost immediately. So why aren’t developers building more affordable housing ? That was one of the main questions at a candidate education panel hosted by the Greater Charlotte Apartment Association on Friday, where about two dozen candidates for Charlotte City Council turned out to learn some of the basics on a complicated subject. “ Affordable housing is one of the topics you’ll talk about a lot,” Bryan Holladay, who supervises the group’s government affairs outreach , told the candidates.

Sometimes when people say “ affordable housing ” they mean go
