New York Investor Converting Former Macon Retail Center into Industrial Park
New York-based Ultimate Realty launched the $12-million redevelopment of the former Westgate Shopping Center in Macon, GA. The 395,000-square-foot, six-building industrial complex will be rebranded as Middle Georgia Industrial Park.
Ultimate Realty’s Joe Sabbagh says, “The former Westgate Shopping Mall is in a prime setting for a retail-to-industrial conversion, with the new name referring to the optimal location Macon has become for the state of Georgia. Our unique vision will bring a world-class redevelopment to the market, resulting in the addition of hundreds of jobs in Macon.”
Interior rehab work will include new electrical systems, bathrooms, new loading docks and drive- in doors, office pod additions and repainting of the facades. The renovation plan will also include upgrading the signage, major landscaping work, new LED lighting, upgraded sprinklers, and expansive truck parking. Work is scheduled to be completed this summer.
Cushman & Wakefield’s Courtney Oldenburg and Chris Copenhaver are overseeing leasing.
