Billy's on Grand redevelopment plan revealed

The intrigue: Afton Park's Ari Parritz said he's got a general service retail user penciled in for the middle section of the building, but the two corner spots will be marketed to restaurant groups.

• Potential restaurants will be able to have patio seating in the middle of the complex, along Grand.

What's next: Parritz, who worked on a similar project nearby to redevelop the Dixie's restaurant, said his firm plans to acquire the Victoria East Crossing retail complex — which includes the former Billy's bar — this spring.

• Construction, pending city approvals, could begin early next year.
