Linear Retail breaks ground on 12,000 s/f Daniel Webster Shops

Linear Retail Properties, LLC, has broken ground and started construction on Daniel Webster Shops, located at 219 Daniel Webster Highway. On December 18, 2012 Linear Retail purchased 219 Daniel Webster Hwy., a 43,947 s/f development site which was owned by Cumberland Farms, Inc. Linear Retail is redeveloping the site into a single-story shopping center of approximately 12,000 s/f (divisible to 1,500 s/f). Joel Kadis, partner of leasing at Linear Retail will handle the leasing of the site. Bryan Furze, VP of leasing & asset management with Linear Retail said, "We're building an inviting environment that will tie to two properties. Daniel Webster Shops will connect to Walgreens and to shops in the rear helping to pull traffic from Daniel Webster Highway and encourage cross-shopping. Previously, the site had been an eye-sore. Now, we look forward to bringing small shop space to the city of Nashua." Donnalee Lozeau, Mayor of Nashua commented at the Ground Breaking event to Linear Retail, "Our job is to help make the environment you're describing. We welcome you and look forward to what's going to be here."
