First National Realty Partners LLC (FNRP) rounded out its second quarter leasing activity with a 76,400-square-foot commitment by Old Time Pottery. The rapidly expanding national home décor retailer will open a new location in FNRP’s Mark Twain Village shopping center in St. Charles, Missouri.
The transaction, the largest lease (by square feet) in the national retail investment firm’s seven-year history, bolstered a record-breaking six months in leasing volume. To date in 2022, the Red Bank, New Jersey-headquartered, vertically integrated company has closed 49 new lease transactions totaling over 255,000 square feet.
FNRP’s David Roth, vice president of leasing, Southeast, negotiated the Old Time Pottery lease, representing the 300,000-square-foot shopping center. Steven Bodner of SRS represented the tenant in the transaction.
“Old Time Pottery is a growing brand with over 40 locations in 11 states,” said Roth. “With its strategic location and complimentary tenant mix that caters to the region’s upscale demographic, Mark Twain Village offers the ideal location for this retailer’s second location in the St. Louis area.”
