Gastonia getting new development downtown A former business office known as the York Professional Building near the downtown post office will receive a makeover in hopes of attracting retail use and more businesses. Cramerton-based Lenox Development Group will also offer office space for lease in the 8,300-square-foot brick building at 155 S. York St. that was constructed in 1930. Lenox Development hopes to attract retail type use, such as a coffee shop or restaurant, for the upper level of the building and office space use for the lower level. The development should add momentum to downtown business growth, said Eric Vargosko, managing partner of Lenox Development.
