DDR Starts on $33M Shopping Center

PITTSBURGH-Developers Diversified Realty began site work last week for Mt. Nebo Pointe, a 350,000-sf open-air center on 80 acres in the local suburb of Ohio Township.

The $33-million development (including land and entitlement costs) will be anchored by Target and Sportsman’s Warehouse, whose pre-construction commitments for a combined 172,000 sf got the project out of the planning stage and into reality. The project is scheduled to open in 2006.

Located at the intersection of Mt. Nebo Road and Camp Horne Road, DDR says the center will benefit from “excellent” visibility and access from Interstate 279. The 123,610-sf Target and the 48,171-sf Sportsman’s Warehouse are the only two signed tenants. DDR says the rest of the center will be filled with national retailers in the entertainment, specialty apparel, sporting goods, shoes and restaurant categories.
