The Mississippi Business Journal reports on the Mississippi CCIM Chapter forum, “Development in a Downturn: From the Ground Up to Distressed Redevelopment.”
COMVEST’s Brooks Holstein served as a panelist, garnered attention with a bold prediction and discussed returns on going “green”.
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.
