Orchard Central evicts upper-floor tenants by November for office conversion

Dozens of small business owners and service providers face displacement, including a 17-year hairdressing salon operator and fitness studios with established member communities, with limited relocation support.

The notices, dated June 1, gave tenants until November 30 to leave — regardless of how many years remained on their leases. In the longer arc of urban evolution, this moment asks what a city owes to the merchants who built the character of a place, even as it reaches toward a more integrated future.
