ALBUQUERQUE — Heslin Holdings has completed the redevelopment of West Central Plaza, a retail center located at 4208 Central Ave. SW in Albuquerque. Retailers at the property are now open for business. The company originally acquired the 150,000-square-foot retail property in 2015 with a large, vacant, single-tenant space.

Heslin Holdings also added 17,000 square feet of floor space adjacent to Burlington. Dollar Tree now occupies a portion of the new space. Additionally, the redevelopment included the conversion of a multi-shop building at the southwest portion of the property into a single-tenant facility, which Harbor Freight Tools now occupies. A multi-tenant drive-thru pad site was also constructed on the corner of Artisco Drive SW and Central Avenue. Panda Express and T-Mobile are tenants at the pad site.
