As the redevelopment nears completion at the adaptive reuse project Oakhurst Commons, MDH Partners and Parkside Partners are pleased to announce modern massage studio Mood House has signed a 3,000-square-foot lease for its second Charlotte location. The mixed-use campus will also be home to Pop the Top Craft Beer, as local concepts continue to eye the creative campus set to open this spring. Alex Mann of Thrift Commercial Real Estate Services handles leasing for the project.
“We’re thrilled to join the Oakhurst community and bring our signature stress-melting massage and sauna experience to a new area of the city,” said Cristina Wilson, Mood House Founder. “The demand for self-care is higher than ever – our team proudly provides mindful wellness for more than 700 monthly members in Dilworth, and we can’t wait to grow.”
Mood House is a re-imagination of the traditional massage spa, featuring several massage suites, two infrared saunas and a meditation space. Oakhurst Commons is the brand’s second location, with the first located in Charlotte’s Dilworth neighborhood. In 2022, Allure Magazine named Mood House as a top small business worth a road trip. Mood House Oakhurst will offer massage and infrared sauna services, with the addition of a private patio for clients to enjoy tea and relaxation after each experience.
Pop the Top Craft Beer will open a 2,000-square-foot location with outdoor patio space in summer 2023. The craft beer shop will feature handpicked craft beer from the Carolinas as well as local kombucha, cider and a delicious variety of wine. Oakhurst Commons will also be its second location, expanding from South End, offering more seating and substantially more wine.
“Highly amenitized spaces are incredibly important to office users as they seek more than the average workplace,” said Raymond Hill, Vice President at MDH Partners. “Focused on well-being and fun, Mood House and Pop the Top bring a localized flair to the creative campus we’re building with Oakhurst Commons. With energized amenities, prime workspaces and an unbeatable location, Oakhurst Commons is establishing itself as a go-to destination in Charlotte.”
“We are excited to have Mood House join Pop the Top at Oakhurst Commons,” said Eli Green, Principal at Parkside Partners. “Both establishments represent the exceptional quality offering that we are seeking in this unique neighborhood mixed-use project. We look forward to announcing other retail and office tenants soon.”
MDH Partners and Parkside Partners formed a joint venture in November 2021 to acquire 4000 Monroe Road – a five-building former office, warehouse and lab facility – transforming it into Oakhurst Commons, a 135,000-square-foot creative mixed-use campus. Projected for completion this spring, the extensive renovation will feature approximately 120,000 square feet of office, 15,000 square feet of retail, a dynamic social hub, common conference facilities, a state-of-the-art fitness center and just under an acre of outdoor amenity areas spread throughout the grounds.
