Oakley Station
The 74 acre mixed-use development is located on the east side of I-71 and Ridge Road, adjacent to the Center of Cincinnati. Anchored by Cinemark and Kroger Marketplace.
- Challenge:
Introduce the market to the redevelopment plan for this former heavy industrial site.
Identify and secure anchors to compliment the 300-unit upscale multifamily and the planned office components of the development. - Solution:
Edge conducted a market study and identified and engaged those users that would be most compatible with this mixed-use development.
Edge negotiated land sales with both Cinemark and Kroger and leases with several junior box / outparcel users. - Conclusion:
The deals brought needed amenities to the community.
Cinemark was able to open its first location in the Cincinnati market in August 2013.
Kroger built its largest Marketplace to date, a 145,000 sf flagship that incorporated numerous new in-store concepts.
Rivers Crossing Shopping Center
434,300 SF regional power center with 13 outparcels. Anchored by Kohl’s, Target & Lowe’s
- Challenge:
2008-2009 recession stalled project with only two anchors and three outparcels developed and significant debt in place. Commercial debt market froze lending on new development projects.
Resulted in the project’s equity investor/guarantor taking control of project from original developer.
The new development team needed to restart the development despite the lack of activity in the post-recession period. - Solution:
Edge worked with new development team to revisit the development plan, optimize tenant mix and re-introduce the project to the market.
Edge and new development team structured a phased development approach to minimize risk for lender and new development team.
Edge employed a comprehensive marketing strategy to generate interest in the project and over- come the stigma surrounding the stalled development.
Edge negotiated both in-line and outparcel deals while navigating extensive prohibited and exclusive use restrictions in the development’s REA and ECCR. - Conclusion:
Edge overcame the challenges, leased the project to 100% occupancy and leased/sold all of the available outparcels.
The equity investor/guarantor monetized the leased assets by selling them on the investment market, retired the project debt and enjoyed a healthy return from the project.
