PORT ARTHUR, TEXAS — Full-service commercial real estate brokerage firm Baker Katz has acquired a 90,000-square-foot retail property in Port Arthur, a city near the Louisiana state border. Located at the intersection of Highway 69 and FM 365, the property previously housed a single occupant but will be redeveloped as a multi-tenant shopping center. To date, Hobby Lobby has signed a lease for 58,000 square feet, Party City has signed a lease for 13,000 square feet, and both tenants are expected to open this summer. Sutherland Lumber Co. sold the asset to Baker Katz, which also plans to construct an additional 7,000-square-foot outparcel at the site.
