It looks like has been filled, at least temporarily, as an Overstock Furniture store moved into the former Schaefer & Strominger auto dealership showroom.
Jose Santana, the leasing agent for the property at 8115 Belair Road, said that the Overstock Furniture store is on a "short-term" lease and that the property will become available again, when the terms of the current contract expire.
Santana, who works for the Seagall Group, also told Patch that a second building on the property would soon be occupied by RSC Equipment Rentals.
According to that company's website, it deals primarily in heavy construction equipment rental—bulldozers, skid-steer loaders, front-end loaders and the like—as well as sales of used contruction equipment.

It would be better if the furniture store were more permanent, but on the other hand a recent study of the Belair Road corridor named the former dealership as an "opportunity site" — so at least it's still available for redevelopment.
