Cedar Center North is located at the busy intersection of  Cedar Road and Warrenville Center Road in the South Euclid community. Built in 2012, the multi-tenant retail center sits on 7.1 acres and includes 61,420 rentable sf.

The retail asset’s tenancy profile is a mix of national and regional brands including PetSmart, Starbucks, Panera Bread, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Five Guys, and Wing Stop. Currently, 80% occupied, there are 24 suites ranging in size from 900 SF to 14,166 SF.

University Corners retail center is located one mile from Cedar Center North in Cleveland’s University Heights neighborhood and was purchased in May of this year. Michigan Terrace was purchased in 2019 and is home to Lululemon in Cincinnati’s Hyde Park Square.

David Coppa, CEO of Deerfield Beach-based Konover South, said, “Cedar Center North is a terrific asset in a mature market in which we are currently looking to expand. Given the challenges the pandemic has brought to certain retail uses, this asset has experienced an increase in recent vacancies. As we begin to normalize in 2021, we believe we will see an increase in leasing activity and are confident in the strength and longevity of this market and property.”
