Monday saw the end of an era in Chapel Hill as Ram Realty Advisors, the developer of University Place, began the demolition of the former Southern Season site near where South Estes Drive meets Fordham Boulevard. The development group is making way for its plan to create new retail, office, housing and hotel space.
Southern Season was known for its gourmet food and boutique items for 44 years, but its closure in January 2020 has meant a vacant building for the last three years. Below are pictures from the site’s teardown.
