“Whole Foods Market is on point with where our society is today culturally, with the focus being placed on health, wellness, and high-quality food offerings. As a result of this focus, Whole Foods will bring in customers from a wide region as more people concen- trate on overall wellbeing for themselves and their families,” Todd Cooper , co-founder of Ripco Real Estate Corp. said. “We are looking forward to leas- ing the remainder of the project to excellent operators locally, regionally, and nationally.” n the best location in the mar- ket. The presence of Home Depot and superior perform- ing restaurants enhances the tenant mix and provides shop- pers additional reasons to visit this center. We believe that we are adding The Potomac Mar- ketplace to the portfolio at the right time, as the trade area is poised to take advantage of catalysts for housing growth.” The population in the trade area has expanded significant- ly since 2000, growing 35.6% to 31,700. Moreover, the ratio of household incomes (aver- age: $77,042) to home values (median: $222,000) provides a customer base with significant discretionary income. Demand for housing is being fueled both by commuters seeking more affordable housing options and by jobs being created in the im- mediate area. Notably, the U.S. Customs and Border Security Advanced Training Center in Charles Town is expanding and Proctor & Gamble is construct- ing a 1.2 million s/f manufac- turing facility in Martinsburg, which will reportedly hire 700 new employees by 2019. This acquisition marks the joint-venture partners’ sixth ac- quisition overall and the third since November 2016. n

The newly acquired property is a 370,000 s/f shopping cen- ter anchored by a 61,000 s/f Weis Supermarket, a 122,000 s/f Home Depot, an 88,000 s/f Kohl’s, and a 15,000 s/f Petco.

Rte. 9 has become the major retail corridor in the region with the next closest hubs located over 15 and 20 miles away in Martinsburg, West Virginia and Winchester, Virginia respectively.
