"We are excited, and plan on running it exactly the same, after making some initial capital improvements and lease up," said Newman Properties Principal and CEO Matthew Newman in an email. "We are happy to have the existing tenants in the plaza and looking forward to to adding some synergistic tenants into the mix."
