Bear Creek Capital has updated their website (nice new look by the way) and they have some updated information – including my new contact, Adam Fights.
Adam had a few updates on the development at Memorial and 471 including:
- Kroger should start to rise out of the ground any day
- While it has become difficult to attract retailers of any kind in the current economic environment they have a few advantages including the location and visibility, an underserved market, and the fact that significant progress has been made.
- With that being said they are having a difficult time attracting tenants. IHOP has pulled out of the development and has cancelled all expansion plans in the Cincinnati area. Kroger and Target are committed anchors and the only other signed lease that Adam confirmed is Buffalo Wild Wings.
In addition to the information above he indicated that he would love to hear from anyone that reads the blog in regards to retailers that Fort Thomas residents would like to see locate there. My pick is Chipotle. Add comments with your dream retailer!
