Crossman & Company Announces Publix Redevelopment for Aloma Shopping Center

ORLANDO - This month the Publix Super Market in the Aloma Shopping Center in Winter Park will be demolished. Construction will immediately begin on a new 47,000 square foot facility in the same location. The new Publix, which should reopen before the end of this year, will include a liquor store. Other shops at the center---including the landmark Aloma Cinema Grill, Pet Supermarket, and Fedex/Kinko’s---will remain open while the entire property is remodeled.

Publix was one of the original tenants along with W. T. Grant Co. and Woolworth when the plaza opened in March of 1961. For a number of years, Publix operated this location under its Food World brand. Their original store was 24,640 square feet and it was expanded to 41,990 square feet in 1994.

Crossman & Company handles the leasing and property management as well as the coordination of the redevelopment.

Crossman & Company Commercial Real Estate Expands Into Georgia, Tennessee, South Carolina

ORLANDO - Crossman & Company (www.crossmanco.com), which ranks as one of the largest third-party retail leasing, management, and development firms in the Southeast, recently expanded into the Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee markets, taking over leasing and management of five retail centers and ten former Publix Supermarket facilities in the metro Atlanta area and Statesboro, as well as Nashville and Murfeesboro, Tenn. and Hilton Head, S.C.

John Crossman, the president of Crossman & Company who formerly served as a Principal with Trammell Crow Company in Atlanta, said the firm’s focus on retail property leasing, sales and management should prove a strong advantage in Georgia.

Crossman & Company recently assumed responsibility for leasing and management of eight former Publix Super Market facilities and three Publix-anchored shopping centers totaling 800,000 square feet of retail space in the metro Atlanta and Statesboro markets.

Crossman, a frequent speaker at universities and national retail association conferences, said retail property management, leasing and sales is evolving new strategies to respond to current economic conditions.

“Property owners are learning that traditional strategies are not sufficient to meet the demands of today’s asymmetrical retail market,” Crossman said. “Survival in today’s economy requires a closer working relationship between property owners, facility managers and retailers, and innovative strategies to better accommodate both customers and tenants,” he said.

Crossman & Company is responsible for leasing small-shop space within Publix-owned shopping centers, leasing outparcels and all subleasing or lease disposition of former Publix locations, according to Crossman.

Recession Generating Big Changes in Retail Property Strategies, but Classic Values, Conservative Approach is Winning


ORLANDO, Fla. --- All economic cycles help generate evolutionary changes in the way people buy and sell things and the current national economic recession may be responsible for more than its share, according to one longtime retail analyst.
John Crossman, president of Crossman & Company, one of the largest third-party retail leasing and management firms in the Southeast, said that despite a number of new trends, the most successful retailers today embrace core conservative values.
“Look at a chain retailer like Publix,” Crossman said. “Publix stock is up. They are doing deals---opening new stores and redeveloping old ones in down a market when some of their competitors are closing stores. They have weathered the storm and they will grow their market share because they developed a classic conservative strategy to the recession,” Crossman said.
Other retailers are taking a more progressive approach to practical necessities.
“One of the hottest trends in retail leasing right now is short-term leases,” Crossman said.
Historically, retail spaces have been leased in five and 10-year terms.
“Recently, we’ve seen three-year, one-year, and even month-to-month lease terms, and ‘temporary tenant’ who need space for 30 days for a big event or a seasonal sales campaign.” Crossman said. “We’re seeing a lot of that for the upcoming holiday season.”
Crossman said such short-term tenants create activity, traffic and energy at a retail center or mall, and that helps other tenants.
But some property owners aren’t so sure.
“Some people see the negative, and assume that more tenant rollover will shadow a retail center’s image,” Crossman said, “but that’s a misnomer. Fifth Avenue in New York has plenty of rollover tenants, and Fifth Avenue is still the number one retail destination in the world,” he said.
