If we’re being honest, we’re still mourning Birds Fly South, which changed the landscape at Hampton Station when it closed in 2023. Abacus Capital, a Charlotte-based real estate investor, purchased the development in 2024 and wants to breathe new life into the property.
What’s new?
The Yard at Hampton Station recently opened + is a community-focused space featuring fresh landscaping, a family-friendly putt-putt course, and expanded picnic seating. Plans for the space include hosting events and programming for more community activation.
What’s coming soon?
A food and beverage concept is coming to the former Birds Fly South + White Duck Taco space, but the developers are keeping the tenant under wraps. Here’s what we know: It’s a brewery concept that already has a footprint in Greenville. Any guesses?
The space will be split with the local engineering company Isomer Project Group.
What’s available?
Abacus Capital says there will be three to four food and beverage tenants adjacent to The Yard when Hampton Station is fully occupied.
