National private equity commercial real estate firm First National Realty Partners (FNRP) recently announced that its strategic leasing initiatives had resulted in achieving 99% occupancy at Carriage Place Shopping Center in Columbus, Ohio.<\/p>\n
The most recent retail leases to be completed add three new tenants to expand the property\u2019s offerings and strengthen its position as a top retail and dining destination in the area.<\/p>\n
By curating a strong mix of national brands and unique local retailers, FNRP has transformed Carriage Place into a vibrant local hub for shopping and entertainment: Fun City Trampoline Park, Pet Supplies Plus, and Port of Peri Peri now join the tenant roster at the shopping center on Bethel Road.<\/p>\n
\u201cEach of these tenants brings something unique to the center,\u201d said Candace Gschwind, director of leasing at FNRP. \u201cWith an expanded mix of shopping, dining, and entertainment, Carriage Place is evolving to meet the needs of the modern shopper.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fun City Trampoline Park has leased roughly 35,500 square feet of retail space to replace the former Cinemark theater, which closed in 2023.<\/p>\n
Pet Supplies Plus signed on for nearly 8,000 square feet of retail space that will bring a convenient, trusted shopping experience for pet owners in the area beginning in 2026.<\/p>\n
Port of Peri Peri will occupy about 2,400 square feet and enrich the center\u2019s dining options and cultural variety by introducing bold Portuguese-African cuisine upon opening toward the end of this year.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur leasing efforts go beyond filling vacancies \u2014 they\u2019re about creating a dynamic destination that benefits both the community and our investors,\u201d said Fred Battisti, chief revenue officer at FNRP. \u201cBy bringing in a diverse mix of tenants, we\u2019re not only enhancing the shopping and entertainment experience for Columbus residents, but also taking steps we believe will drive long-term value and stability for our investment partners.\u201d<\/p>\n
