Project Description


Located in Hickory, North Carolina, and built in 2005, Mountain View Marketplace is the first grocery-anchored shopping center commuters encounter when they travel into the area from Highway 321. The center is surrounded by Rite Aid, CVS, and Walgreens, making it the dominant retail destination along the Highway 127 corridor. Five of the eight current tenants have been in their space since the center opened in 2005. Lowes Foods, which operates 110+ stores throughout North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia, accounts for 71% of the total income collected for the center. 6,300 SF of vacant space offers value-add opportunities.
