Echelon Resources Inc. and LBD Investments have announced their plans to transform Showplace West/One Plaza Center into a mixed-use development featuring market-rate apartments and approximately 9,000 square feet of retail space.
The building, located at 101 S. Main St., was originally constructed in 1971 as an eight-story, 135,000-square-foot concrete office building. In 2019, International Market Centers donated the property to Downtown High Point. It was purchased by Echelon Resources in 2011 for around $1.49 million and has recently been added to the National Register of Historic Places.
Known for their expertise in redeveloping historic buildings, Echelon Resources has successfully repurposed numerous former factories, mills warehouses schools,and residential buildings throughout their years in business.
LBD Investments specializes in infill mixed-use developments and historic redevelopment projects within the Southeast region.
