South Sacramento’s Southgate Plaza is once again the subject of serious interest in commercial real estate circles.  First, it was the unfortunate departure of Walmart in 2009, Vacant Commercial Real Estate in Sacramentowhich resulted in the closing of its 135,000 square foot retail store on the southeast corner of Florin Road and Franklin Blvd.  The approximate 300,000 square foot commercial shopping center was decimated as remaining tenants gradually moved out due to lack of foot traffic.  Following a foreclosure on the property just one year later, the new operator and Sacramento commercial real estate brokers have been desperately trying to attract new tenants (see related article for progress update). Unfortunately, Walmart still controls the lease and is now doing its best to block a subsequent retailer from taking over its space for competitive reasons.  County of Sacramento officials are furious and pressuring Walmart to reconsider its position for the good of the community.  Brian Jacks of East West Commercial Real Estate’s Sacramento office was quoted by Kelly Johnson in an article, published in the Sacramento Business Journal.  In addition, News 10 ran this story about the subject.
