Branch Signs Three Tenants to 215,000 SF Shopping Center in North Carolina’s Triad Region

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Branch Properties LLC has signed three tenants to Westridge Square, a 215,000-square-foot shopping center in Greensboro. The Atlanta-based real estate company originally acquired the center and its seven outparcel buildings in 2015, and is currently re-tenanting the property. Kohl’s will reduce its footprint at the center from 87,000 square feet to 55,000 square feet, and Planet Fitness will occupy the vacated space. The gym is expected to open in late 2018 or early 2019. According to local media reports, Sprouts Farmers Market will backfill 30,524 square feet of the 47,452-square-foot space formerly occupied by Harris Teeter, which closed in December. Later this summer, Title Boxing Club will open at one of Westridge Square’s outparcels. Negotiations are underway for an additional tenant to occupy the remaining space. In addition to remerchandising Westridge Square, Branch will modernize the shopping center with planned renovations including raising the parapets and upgrading the building materials to include brick, metal and wood.
