Social, a shop for gracious living, announced today (7.9.19) it is pairing with The Lake District by opening its second location in the new upscale development.
Yehuda Netanel, developer of The Lake District to be constructed in Lakeland at I-40 and Canada Road, said, ”Shop Founder Carmen Bond (known to devotees as simply Carmen) has created a place of lovingly curated gifts and accessories for your home and life which pairs perfectly with the vision of The Lake District as a unique lifestyle and retail destination.”
Opened in 2012, the Shop built a loyal following that started in Memphis but now spans world-wide, according to Mr. Netanel. “Visitors of Social know that there are delightful surprises at every turn which create an experience that excites people enough to come back and share with their friends.” Carmen describes Social as offering, “The finest in gifts, full service interior design, an extensive collection of antiques from all over the world and an amazing bridal registry service.”
Mr. Netanel added, “Carmen’s ability to visualize and create beauty from the world around her immediately caught my attention, then I experienced Social. I knew that Social and The Lake District had to be paired together, I’m delighted Carmen and her team are joining our family.”
Of the announcement, Carmen said, The Lake District is such a welcome addition to the greater Memphis area as well as the surrounding counties throughout Tennessee, Mississippi and Arkansas! We are confident that The Lake District will be a huge success while adding yet another facet in making Memphis and Shelby County not only a worthy place to call home, but a destination for all!”
Recognized for her attention to detail in researching, learning and exploring new ideas and products, Carmen said she encourages all fine businesses to consider The Lake District as part of their future. She complimented the development, noting the inclusion of architecture firm LRK (Looney Ricks Kiss) to see the project to completion.

As momentum at The Lake District continues to build, the vision of the development gets clearer and clearer. Mr. Netanel said Lakeland Mayor Mike Cunningham recently referred to The Lake District as “The shining diamond of Lakeland.” I share Mayor Cunningham’s sentiment, said Mr. Netanel. “We are building a development that will outshine all others.”

Mr. Netanel describes The Lake District
It is an upscale 160+ acre mixed-use community surrounding a 10-acre lake and waterways in Lakeland, just outside of Memphis. Designed as a walkable village, The Lake District is a luxurious community with elegant water features threaded throughout its five premier districts: Inline Retail District; Main Street District (curated retail, chef-driven restaurants and cafes); Hotel District (two hotels, one with lake view); Pad Sites and Office District (75,000-square feet of office space with lake views); and the Residential District (age-restricted living, Downtown-style lofts and custom single family homes).
Phase 1 schedule of delivery of space for tenant build-out is fall of 2020, with businesses opening for the 2020 holidays.
The completed project is valued at $400 million, according to Mr. Netanel.
