Site of razed Virginia Beach shopping center sold

Virginia Beach:
“The site of a former shopping center near the Sentara Independence outpatient treatment facility has been sold to a Virginia Beach developer. An entity controlled by developer Michael Sifen paid about $9 million for the 13.5-acre site at 717-745 Independence Blvd., according to deed records filed at the Beach.

The seller, a unit of Lowe's Cos. Inc., paid $13.5 million for the site in 2007 and demolished a shopping center there in preparation for a new home improvement store. The former Giant Square center had been anchored by a Farm Fresh grocery up until about a year before Lowe's took possession.

When the economy soured, Lowe's greatly scaled back its expansion plans and shelved the store project, said Gerald S. Divaris, CEO of Divaris Real Estate, which represented Lowe's in the recent sale.”
