Brixmor breathes new life into former Kmart location

HomeGoods, Stein Mart and Sierra Trading Post will fill a 76,000-sq.-ft. void created by the closing of a Kmart store at the Maple Village shopping center in Ann Arbor, Michigan.



Maple Village, part of Brixmor Property Group’s nationwide portfolio, said the new tenants are scheduled to begin opening in third quarter 2016. Stein Mart, Sierra Trading Post and HomeGoods will occupy a combined 76,232 sq. ft. of space formerly occupied by Kmart. This will be Stein Mart’s first Ann Arbor location and the first Sierra Trading Post in Michigan. The retailers join others such as Plum Market, Dunham’s Sports, Pure Sleep, Hand & Stone Massage and Great Clips.



"With such high-profile retailers representing three strong consumer markets – fashion, home and active outdoor gear – we believe this strategic repositioning of the Kmart space benefits Maple Village’s customers and existing tenants,” said Devin Mitchell, vice president of leasing for Brixmor’s North Region. “Through the addition of these best-in-class retail concepts, we have enhanced Maple Village’s merchandise mix and appeal, which will help us attract other leading brands to the shopping center.”



Stein Mart will occupy 33,582 sq. ft., Sierra Trading Post, a discount retailer specializing in outdoor apparel, footwear and fitness gear, will occupy 22,250 sq. ft. and HomeGoods will occupy 20,400 sq. ft.



Maple Village is located at N. Maple Road and Jackson Road and serves a population of over 79,000 within three miles.
