 Oakland Plaza is situated on 17.164 acres at 124, 300 and 268-390 John R. Rd. adjacent to Oakland Square, which is on a 23.48-acre site at 500-650 and 740 John R. Rd. that includes unimproved land for future development.

This highly visible location is near Interstate 75 and exposes the properties to a combined 68,000 vehicles per day at the intersection of 14 Mile and John R. Roads.

Located in a dense corridor that is greater Detroit’s top retail destination, the centers are supported by strong demographics that include 269,600 residents earning an average annual household income of $89,000 living within a five-mile radius of the center.

 The properties were originally constructed in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, with Oakland Plaza undergoing renovations most recently in 2014.

 The 87 percent leased properties are home to a variety of frugal fashion, fitness-oriented and investment-grade tenants, including T.J.Maxx, Michaels, Planet Fitness, Kohl’s, Bed Bath & Beyond, Ulta Beauty, Five Below, GameStop, Sonic, US Mattress and Sally Beauty.

David MacDonald 

“We are continuing to see strong demand for well-located, stabilized shopping centers situated outside of primary markets.” Sands said.

“Investors continue to migrate into the Midwest in search of yield and product driving pricing to levels higher than pre-COVID.”
