Construction begins on mixed-use retail project on 1300 South

(The Enterprise) Construction has started on a 9,000-square-foot, mixed use project originally planned to be 17,200 square feet. The project, located at 1709 E. 1300 South, is being developed by Rinaldo Hunt of RH Brokerage Services. The project, which was scaled back because of economic conditions, will house a restaurant, retailer and two office spaces. The eatery is scheduled to open in December. Hunt is making final negations with retail tenants and expects the buildling to be fully occupied upon completion. Development started on the project nearly a year and a half ago, but financing issues led to delays.
