MILWAUKEE, Wis. - The Wisconsin office of Opus Development Corporation (Opus) announced today the scheduled openings of T.J Maxx, Ulta Salon and Cosmetics, Rue 21 and Charming Charlie’s by Oct. 28 of this year. These retailers are the newest additions to Opus’ Shoppes at Fox River development in Waukesha, Wis.
Opus broke ground on the first development in Phase II of the Shoppes at Fox River in April 2012. The development includes more than 47,000 square feet of retail space on six acres of land adjacent to the existing Phase I buildings. The first Phase II development includes a T.J. Maxx, Ulta Salon and Cosmetics, Rue 21 and a Charming Charlie’s. The building is located on the northeast corner of the site, in line with the Pick ‘n Save.
“We are excited that the new stores will be open in time for the holiday shopping season,” said Julie Ledger, vice president and general manager at Opus Development Corporation. “These four high-quality retailers will provide new options for Waukesha-area shoppers, and I have no doubt that these stores will see similar success to the retail tenants included in the Phase I of the development.”
Phase I of the Shoppes at Fox River opened in July 2009, with final construction completed in September 2010. It includes approximately 273,000 square feet of retail space. Currently, Phase I is 100 percent occupied, including a 132,000-square-foot Target, and a 60,000-square-foot LEED-Silver certified Pick ‘n Save grocery store.
Opus Development Corporation is one of the region’s leading full-service real estate development and design-build firms. In addition to Waukesha’s Shoppes at Fox River, recent notable projects completed by the Wisconsin office include the Honey Creek Corporate Center, multiple buildings at Marquette University, including the new law school and College of Engineering, Northwestern Mutual’s Franklin Campus and Oakwood Crossing Business Center in Oak Creek, Wis.
