JaGee Properties Finishes One Retail Center, Starting Another in Arlington

ARLINGTON, TX-Just capping its first redevelopment in Arlington, JaGee Properties Inc., based in Ft. Worth, is gearing up to break ground this month on a 28,000-sf, high-end retail project in the heart of the city’s primary commercial district.

The estimated $3-million Shops on Cooper already has inked a tenant deal for about 1,500 sf with Quizno’s, a specialty eatery, and has jumpstarted itself with a 35,000-sf Rooms to Go, which is due to open within weeks. The Rooms to Go store is located on a three-acre tract that had been parceled off from JaGee’s 16-acre holding and will abut the Shops on Cooper. The retail specialty center, which delivers in October, carries a project cost of $125 per sf, William Jackson, JaGee vice president, tells GlobeSt.com.

The project will be supported by several junior anchor stores on a contiguous site, says Jackson. The property is situated along S. Cooper St., just north of the Interstate 20 intersection. Dallas-based Hodges & Associates is the architect for the center, with JaGee acting as general contractor.
