"I think there's a pent-up demand in the southern sector of Dallas. The demand initially surprised us," James Grisham with Dallas-based PO'B Montgomery & Co. tells GlobeSt.com. "And, we were able to capture that demand." To date, his team's locked in a 30,000-sf Best Buy, 31,000-sf Ross Dress for Less and 10,030-sf Dollar Tree.
Grisham says the 10-acre Pinnacle Park Shopping Center will build out all that he owns at the interstate's Cockrell Hill Road interchange. The developer started prepping the land in March shortly after closing on the land so it'd be ready to go when the first leases were signed. Keys will turn in mid-November to Best Buy and first quarter 2006 to Ross and Dollar Tree, according to Grisham, who's marketing the space for $18 per sf to $20 per sf.
"We hope to fully leased by the end of the year," Grisham says. The project's sweet spot, he explains, is 10,000 sf to 30,000 sf.
Amid the road construction and added industrial projects rising in Pinnacle Park, other developers have roped off the small shop space component while the large-format block got locked in early by Bentonville, AR-based Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and Lowe's Cos. Inc. of Mooresville, SC.
PO'B Montgomery is teaming with locally based L&B Realty Advisors Inc., which represents a major domestic pension fund, to develop the center, designed by Hodges & Associates of Dallas. Hill & Wilkinson Ltd. in Plano is the general contractor; Brockette, Davis & Drake Inc. of Dallas is the civil engineer.
