Charlotte, N.C. – (March 22, 2023) – Crescent Communities, a nationally recognized, market-leading real estate investor, developer, and owner of mixed-use and commercial communities, announces significant leasing at Elizabeth on Seventh, a mixed-use community in Charlotte’s burgeoning Elizabeth neighborhood.
Tenants will join the recently announced Catalina Kitchen + Bar, a new restaurant concept from Ditka’s Restaurants, which will be located on the corner of East Seventh Street and North Caswell Avenue. Other retail tenants include Rosemont Market and Wine Bar, a new concept from the team behind The Crunkleton and the nearby Cheat’s Cheesesteak Parlor.
Catalina Kitchen + Bar will bring a casual upscale, full-service restaurant to the lively Elizabeth neighborhood. Set to open in early fall 2023, the American fare menu will be available for guests to enjoy on-site or take-away. The bar will have a daily social hour with specialty cocktails, an extensive wine list, and local beers. Catalina Kitchen + Bar’s relaxed atmosphere will complement the diverse dining scene in Elizabeth, initially open for dinner, with plans to add lunch service at a later date.
Office leases at Elizabeth on Seventh have been signed for approximately 34,000 square feet by companies including Lodging Capital Partners, Hord Coplan Macht, and LifeStance Health. In addition, construction of five move-in ready suites totaling 16,000 square feet will offer newly constructed offices to potential tenants. One of the five suites has been pre-leased.

Elizabeth on Seventh also recently received the ‘Great Urban Architecture’ award at the 2022 City of Charlotte Urban Design Awards, which celebrates how well the project blends into the residential community around it.
“It’s been fantastic to see the revitalization of the 7th Street corridor since Elizabeth on Seventh delivered,” said Charles Thrift, owner and partner of Thrift Commercial. “The renovation and tenant mix at the Shoppes at 7th Street, further commitments by the restaurant group behind the Crunkleton, and new-to-market deals like Catalina, are further cementing the intersection as a premier dining and after-hours location. Thrift Commercial is excited to be a part of it.”
