In Spring 2023, The Edge announced its plans to develop 1.5 acres on Green Springs Highway into an outdoor entertainment hub with food, drinks, retail and green space.

Behind the project is husband-wife duo JJ and Whitney Thomas, Edgewood residents who have always wished a multi-functional outdoor entertainment space would pop up near their home and decided to make it happen themselves.

In Spring 2024, The Edge announced that the first stage of tenants were fully-leased:

Corbeau Wine Bar
B’ham Burger
Baba Java Coffee + Popbar
Shin Ramen
The Cookie Plug
The Que*bicle
