Project Update

To date, the first 3 of our future 12 buildings are in varying forms of construction. The 3 buildings total 31,000 square feet of the future projected 100,000 +(-) square feet.

Four shops are now open for business, Established since 1905 nationally acclaimed men's clothiers Jos. A. Bank opened their doors in November of 2006. Currently, Jos. A. Bank offers a wide range of clothing options, from classically tailored suits and tuxedos to business casual clothing fit for all occasions. Jos. A. Bank offers all of the accessories needed to complement a man's wardrobe from dress shirts, ties, belts to underwear, shoes and much more; there is also a on-site tailor for the shoppers convenience. A lovely dress shop inspired by a very successful dress shop that has been in operation in our area for nearly 40 years called H. Edwards and Company, and an exquisite coffee shop called the Camellia Coffee House. Several other exciting businesses are in varying forms of construction planning and negotiations.

In the effort to honor the New England inspired architecture of the old village of Pinehurst several of the store fronts will include noticeable resemblances to some of those beautiful old village buildings. These include an emulation of the national award winning Theatre Building, a building that was the first "mini-mall" of Pinehurst known as the Pinehurst Department Store Building, the old "Gray Fox" entry, the 1923 Packard dealership (now operating as Clark Cadillac), the building from which the entire village of Pinehurst was heated known as the Steam Plant, and more to come. Additionally, bricks taken from the old village are the foot path around a soothing fountain and an offspring of a giant Holly tree that stood in front of the Carolina Hotel for over three quarters of a century has been placed for all the shoppers to enjoy.

The Olmsted Village Company is committed to insuring that the Camellia Parke Shoppes remains a testimonial to the "good old days" while offering all the modern assets that are now critical to all commercial presentations. we hope our shop keepers and our shoppers will enjoy and appreciate this special way of life that the village of Pinehurst enjoys and a century from now those folks at that time will appreciate the legacy we have left the same as we appreciate the legacy today that was left to us from a century ago.
