MILWAUKEE (Dec. 14, 2012) – Opus Development Corporation announced today the sale of phase II of The Shoppes at Fox River retail center as well as an adjoining 12.2 acres of land in Waukesha, Wis., to Ramco Gershenson Properties Trust for an undisclosed sum. The sale closing occurred on Dec. 13, 2012.
The Shoppes at Fox River phase II broke ground in May 2012 and totals more than 47,000 square feet of retail space spanning six acres. Tenants include T.J. Maxx, Ulta Salon and Cosmetics, rue21 and Charming Charlie’s. Ramco has a vested interest in this property after purchasing the 273,000-square-foot first phase of this retail shopping center, which is 100 percent leased with retail, service and lifestyle tenants, from Opus in December 2010.
“We have a great relationship with Ramco-Gershenson Properties Trust and are happy to be working with them again,” said Julie Ledger, vice president and general manager at Opus Development Corporation. “The success of each of the phases of this development is a testament to the strength of this retail center and the community of Waukesha and led to Ramco-Gershenson’s desire to purchase our latest addition to the development.”
