The Willow Lake Crossing shopping center located at the intersection of South Houston Lake Road and Watson Blvd is undergoing an extensive re-development project as a joint venture acquisition of Ackerman COMVEST Warner Robins, LLC. The new development group consists of members of Ackerman & Co., Atlanta, Georgia and COMVEST Properties, LLC, Biloxi, Mississippi.

The group acquired a former Kroger and some additional small shop space to build the new 61,000 SF home of Academy Sports + Outdoors. Ackerman COMVEST has signed a long term lease with the sports, outdoor and lifestyle retailer and anticipates a Fall 2012 grand opening. The store will bring approximately 125 jobs to the area.

The group also purchased an adjacent 30,000 SF outparcel that is available for build-to-suit, ground lease or sale. For information contact Larry Wood, 770-913-3902.
