apartment building near the intersection of Gaston and Abrams. The developer has requested a zoning change for the current site of Teter’s Faucet Parts Center on Oram. If approved, the zoning change would double the existing density allowed at the site.

Commercial real estate firm Shop Cos. sold a two-story pawnshop at the intersection of Greenville and Sears to Greenway Investment Co., who plans to transform the building into a boutique and loft-style office space. The pawnshop, EZ Pawn , has relocated to Ross and Fitzhugh.

The building located at 10801 Garland Road that Lucky Dog Books once occupied will be revamped by Jeff Brand of Brand Capital Partners . New landscaping, seating areas, wall murals and a “clean crisp exterior” all are part of Brand’s agenda. Meanwhile, Lucky Dog Books owner John Tilton has yet to decide the used bookstore’s fate.
