Final anchor to open in Port Arthur redevelopment project

Baker Katz announced that the 90,000 sq. ft. multi-tenant center redevelopment project in Port Arthur, Texas is complete with the opening of PetSmart.

The former Sutherlands Hardware was transformed into a multi-tenant retail center with the addition of national anchor tenants, including Hobby Lobby, PetSmart and Party City. Chipotle, Firehouse Subs and Gulfside Dental, are scheduled to open by early 2016, will occupy a 7,000 sq. ft. building in the foreground of the project.

“Prior to our purchasing this property in 2012, it had been vacant for many years,” stated Kenneth Katz, Principal for Baker Katz. “The new layout maximizes retail space and visibility, which resulted in attracting a number of prominent national retailers to the project. It is rewarding to see our work on this redevelopment come to a successful conclusion just in time for the holiday shopping season.”
