Stassney Crossing construction continues

Construction will continue on the buildings, and by May the company plans to turn over the sites to the companies that have signed leases so that they can complete the build-out.

"We're talking to restaurant pad users," he said, noting the center has potential patio space.

Construction began in June on the second of five buildings in the complex at 1708 E. Stassney Lane. The site consists of a gas station and four retail buildings: one 12,675-square-foot space, a 14,005-square-foot building, a 3,678-square-foot building and a 6,000-square-foot building.

"It's obviously in a high-growth area in a high-visibility corridor," he said. "What's good about this center in particular is it's very visible northbound, and we have an exceptionally tall pylon sign that's visible southbound."

The company is gearing up to present the center's vacancies to retailers at an International Council of Shopping Centers real estate convention in May, so more tenants will likely be announced later this year, Perkel said.
