Charlotte, N.C. Charlotte Plaza, located at 201 S. College Street in Uptown Charlotte, N.C. will soon be home to STK Steakhouse, the internationally known Vibe Dining concept from The ONE Group Hospitality, Inc. The new steakhouse will open in the 7,000 SF retail location that was formerly Carolina Ale House. The plans call for dramatic improvements to the interior and exterior – especially the expansive patio, which is the largest single tenant outdoor space in Uptown. The space also features a mezzanine level for private events and dining.
STK Steakhouse artfully blends the modern steakhouse and a chic lounge into one to create its signature Vibe Dining atmosphere, which offers a dynamic fine dining experience with the superior quality of a traditional steakhouse. Every venue has a DJ to create an infectious, high energy atmosphere and the sleek environment is designed to encourage guests to interact and mingle. Ultimately, STK aims to define the modern dining experience with incredible food, world class service, and the perfect ambiance. Targeted opening is Summer 2023.
One of the most distinctive buildings in Uptown, Charlotte Plaza is a 27-story, 650,000 SF Class A office tower with ground floor retail and connected to the Overstreet Mall. Only steps away from the Light Rail, Charlotte Plaza is ideally located in the heart of Charlotte’s Central Business District and is walking distance to any of Uptown’s major attractions and sports venues. The asset is owned by New York-based Rabina and managed by Foundry Commercial.
“We’re thrilled that STK has selected Charlotte Plaza to launch their entry into this market, capitalizing on an opportunity that positions the brand on one of Uptown’s most prominent corners,” said Lynne Lawrence, Executive Vice President, Asset Management with Rabina.
STK CEO, Emanuel “Manny” Hilario added, “We are excited to be partnering with Rabina Properties to bring STK’s signature vibe dining experience to the booming Central Business District in Charlotte. I am confident that STK will be a welcome addition, and we look forward to sharing our high-energy atmosphere and quality menu items with locals and visitors alike.”
