Asheville, N.C., is shifting from baby food to more sophisticated fare. Developers there are at work on plans for a 305,000-square-foot mixed use village on 24 vacant acres where a Gerber baby food factory once stood.
The Village at Gerber features 465 multifamily units–the for-sale/rental mix is still to be determined–and 300,000 square feet of retail and office space to be developed over five years at a cost of more than $10 million. Asheville-based Gulfside Development touts the project as new urbanism. Buildings will be from two to four stories with retail and commercial space on the ground floor and residential space above.
