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.

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 , ra...

Occasionally , a local news story reduces the mess of New York City gentrification to its essential boorishness.

One might also surmise that Brennan had reached a bogeyman’s conclusion about the recent demographics of Crown Heights. Last month, Gothamist reported that Brennan had issued a press release featuring a photo of a radioactive-looking cocktail against a dented green wall . “Yes, that bullet hole-ridden wall was originally there, and yes, we’re keeping it,” the release boasted. Brennan’s belief—that the previous renters, bodega proprietors, had operated a clandestine weapons ring in the back of the store—was quickly debunked on social media; on Su...
