Columbia Properties buys East Cobb’s Merhcants Exchange

Columbia Properties is excited to announce their new purchase of Merchants Exchange, a 130,013 square foot shopping center in east Cobb County. The shopping center is set in a dynamic part of town with a growing population and will serve the highly established area and should likely thrive with its surrounding residents. Merchants Exchange is a 98% leased neighborhood-oriented shopping center that will be a great addition to the community and is already home to LA Fitness, Picture Show movie theater and Hancock Fabrics. There is no question that residents are eager to know what new retail options will be coming soon.

As the economy returns it will bring many great retail real estate opportunities with it. Of course, this is not to say there are not good deals to be found during this economy if you look hard enough. Columbia Properties had a long-standing relationship with BB&T that worked to their advantage.  Andy Campbell, partner of Columbia Properties feels they are in a good position to make use of and take advantage of these opportunities. Columbia Properties plans to seek out other retail investments in sought after areas of Atlanta over the next year and a half.

This just goes to show that it’s not only the house that makes a certain place home, but also the surrounding areas and vibrant atmospheres. The shops, restaurants, parks and places make up the city where you call home. Cobb County is an area that is constantly  blossoming with new retail and dining experiences to share with friends and family making this a popular place to live.
