ValueRock Realty Opens 21-Acre The Commons Mixed-Use Project in Aliso Viejo, California

by Amy Works

ALISO VIEJO, CALIF. — ValueRock Realty has completed The Commons, a repurposed 21-acre mixed-use project in Aliso Viejo, with the grand opening scheduled for Dec. 14. The Commons was redeveloped by transforming a nearly 200,000-square-foot vacant Lowe’s into a multi-tenant community center. The project features a 200,000-square-foot retail component with restaurants and retailers, including Tesla, 99 Ranch Matket, Daiso and Philz Coffee, all of which are slated to open by the end of the year. Additional tenants, including Bowlero (a Lucky Strike concept), will open in 2025. The Commons will also include a proposed 343-unit residential project. ValueRock purchased the first parcel in 2015 for $62 million and began conceptualizing the reimagined project in 2017 as big box stores began to close across the country. In 2019, ValueRock negotiated a lease termination with Lowe’s that allowed for the site’s redevelopment. Construction of the project began in 2023 and finalized in late 2024. ValueRock entirely self-funded the approximate $53 million redevelopment, which has a current estimated value of more than $115 million.

How to Transform the Retail Landscape in Topeka, Kansas

by Kristin Harlow

By Cody Foster, Advisors Excel Topeka, the capital city of Kansas, has a population of approximately 125,000 people, located in a 12-county region with over 531,000 residents. The region’s population has grown over the past five years and is expected to increase by another 2.1 percent between 2023 and 2028. With an unemployment rate of around 3.5 percent as of mid-2024, the city’s economic outlook remains stable, providing a solid foundation for redeveloping key commercial properties — including the West Ridge Mall, the third-largest indoor shopping center in Kansas at 992,000 square feet. Since it opened in 1988, the West Ridge Mall has been a significant part of the city’s commercial landscape. The site features ample parking and anchors the Wanamaker Road commercial corridor, the region’s most significant retail hub, which garnered $1 billion in retail, grocery and dining spending during the past 12 months.  However, like many malls nationwide, it faces challenges in a rapidly evolving retail environment. Retail trends: following consumer behavior The West Ridge Mall has seen a steady decline in business and occupancy over the last decade. Anchor stores Macy’s and Sears closed in 2012 and 2018, respectively.  Various management companies tried to keep the retail …

Federal Judge Blocks Kroger-Albertsons Merger

by Kristin Harlow

CINCINNATI AND BOISE, IDAHO — A judge in the Oregon federal court has blocked Kroger Co.’s $24.6 billion acquisition of Albertsons Cos. U.S. District Judge Adrienne Nelson agreed with the Federal Trade Commission’s argument that Kroger would become the dominant player in traditional supermarkets if the deal passed, and rejected the companies’ counterargument that selling 579 stores to C&S Wholesale Grocers would replace the lost competition. In a press release issued today, Albertsons announced that it has exercised its right to terminate its merger agreement with Kroger. Additionally, Albertsons has filed a lawsuit against Kroger in the Delaware Court of Chancery. Albertsons states that Kroger refused to offer an adequate divesture package and repeatedly ignored regulators’ concerns, causing the merger to be blocked. Boise-based Albertsons operates 2,267 retail food and drug stores across 34 states and the District of Columbia under more than 20 banners such as Safeway, Jewel-Osco, Shaw’s, Acme and Tom Thumb. Cincinnati-based Kroger operates nearly 2,800 stores in 35 states under two dozen banners such as Mariano’s, Harris Teeter and Pick ‘n Save.
