Riverbend Plaza on E. Jefferson west of Chalmers has a number of new businesses, most notably an AAA Insurance office. The company had recently closed its other office in the area. "We were able to get them back into the community," says Riverbend developer Michael Curis. "We've signed a bunch of new tenants, we are trying to keep services in the community."
Rent-A-Center just opened a store at Riverbend, another example of a business that Curis worked to bring back. Two had closed in the vicinity. Other businesses opening their doors include Sutton Drugs, The Weave Shop, Boost Mobile and Dollar Tree. Curis is currently in talks with a couple of other potential tenants. He attributes the retail plaza's ability to attract businesses to its security, design, location, management and quality tenants.
Curis' two other urban retail developments are likewise doing well. Mack/Alter Plaza is 100 percent leased and a fast food restaurant, Checkers, just opened at Shops at Woodward Place in Highland Park.
Retailers interested in locating at Riverbend Plaza should contact leasing agent Chris Webber at 248-353-9494.
