Gainesville FactoryShops

Dallas-based Cencor Realty Services has been slid in as propertymanager of the 15-year-old factory shops at 4321 N. Interstate 35,just five miles south of the Chickasaw Nation's WinStar Casino inThackerville, OK. The first move was to hire the outlet mall'slong-time general manager Michelle Shulfin and her team to continuetheir day-to-day duties with Cencor's Susan Steelhammer in thedriver's seat, according to James Greenfield, senior vice presidentof property management for Cencor's Dallas/Fort Worth region. Now,he says he's jumped into meeting with brokers and the marketingdepartment to create a development plan for the owner, which lastweek took back the shops, positioned on 41.7 acres, and an extra 40acres of developable land.

"We are determining a marketing plan and hitting with it to seewho we can pull back in," Greenfield tells GlobeSt.com. Despite itslow vacancy, Gainesville Factory Shops has held onto retail giantslike GAP, Reebok, VF Outlet, Izod, Zales and 75% Off Books.
