The new strip center developed by Coffman Realty and designed by BKA Architects has finished construction and started leasing the units.
The new strip center has a total of five buildings of which two are located on pad sites. The three buildings designed by BKA Architects total 62,000 s/f, and are able to accommodate a different number of tenants.
The first and largest building is 52,000 s/f and is sub-divided to house seven tenants. The anchor tenant for this building is Staples.
The second 6,700 s/f building has six units.
The third and last building, at 3,200 s/f, accommodates two units. One of the two units has been leased by Starbucks.
Aside from the national retailers who have staked a claim in the development, a number of local retailers are leasing spaces as well. The design of the strip center is fairly typical of this building type. The outer shells of the buildings are comprised of plaster-stucco with a stone veneer base at the primary facades and colored concrete masonry units at the service areas of the exterior.
The two pad sites were leased and developed separately by tenants; Danvers Bank and Ruby Tuesday.
