Call it a sign of progress. Developers of Belmont, a $105 million mixed-use project at Route 30 and Fruitville Pike, last week erected a large sign bearing the project’s name in a pond on the site’s northwest corner.
The 10-foot-tall plastic letters, standing on a 42-foot-wide steel base, contain LED lights and later will be complemented by a fountain. The developers declined to disclose the sign’s cost.
Behind the pond (actually a stormwater retention basin), construction of stores, restaurants, townhouses and single-family homes proceeds on schedule, the developers say. Stores will include Whole Foods, Target, Nordstrom Rack, Michaels and Dick’s Sporting Goods; restaurants will include P.F. Chang’s and Moe’s Southwest Grill.
The stores and restaurants, dubbed the Shoppes at Belmont, will begin opening in March. Openings will continue into the summer.
