The team from Larsen Baker has been selected to develop the former Solot Plaza, now known as Sol Block. The developer has already landed three tenants.

Local developers who are remaking one of the blocks along the Sunshine Mile have recruited a third tenant.

Studio Hair Artistry by K & Co. pre-leased 1,428 square feet at the Sol Block project, on Broadway and Tucson Boulevard.

The salon will provide beauty services and sell related products.

Earlier this year, Larsen Baker announced it had signed a lease with Quisty’s Gourmet Salads and Sandwiches for 1,332 square feet, and Rocco’s Little Chicago Pizza has also pre-leased 3,600 square feet just west of its current location to open next year.

Larsen Baker was selected by Rio Nuevo as the developer for the Solot Block β€” 16 properties between Tucson Boulevard and Treat Avenue.

The developer plans to bring small retailers to the area, such as brunch spots, dog groomers and flower shops.
