Sagiv Rosano, managing partner at Rosano Partners, notes that the new project at 2000 S. Central, for which the brokerage firm is the leasing agent, is a 50,000-square-foot center that was nearly 95% leased at completion, with approximately 4,250 square feet remaining to be filled. The three newest tenants at the center are a 4,200-square-foot clinic, a 1,200-square-foot pharmacy and a 1,400-square-foot China Bowl Express.
Rosano also points out that the site at Broadway and 71st was vacant for many years before Warehouse Shoe Sale signed its lease, which is also a five-year deal with two five-year options. "Before we came in and became the exclusive broker for the landlord, he thought he was going to be sitting on a vacant property for five years," Rosano says. Rosano further adds, "This is a very difficult time for all retailers. However, we are noticing winners in the marketplace. Surviving in a down economy is all about finding a certain niche and WSS has done just that."
