A 25-year-old outlet center in East Naples, Florida, is undergoing an extensive facelift and seeking new retail blood, according to Crossman & Company, which has just been signed as its leasing agent.
Once filled with shoppers, the Naples Outlet Center has dropped in recent years due to an economic downturn in the area, according the Naples Daily News. In 2014, nearly half of its 40 stores were vacant.
But Crossman leasing agents insist that the 21-acre property with 146,000 sq. ft. of retail space continues to benefit from highway visibility and growing populations in nearby upscale communities.
“Highway traffic counts exceed 28,895 vehicles a day,” said Crossman Senior Leasing Associate Sandra Woodworth. “The center serves communities in Naples and Marco Island, including Fiddlers Creek, Eagle Creek, Lely Resorts, and Naples Reserve.”
Current tenants include Loft, Bass Factory Outlet, Ann Taylor, Kitchen Collection, Coach, Van Heusen, Samsonite, and Rack Room Shoes.
