Press Release: NAI Martens brokers 15-year lease agreement with Aldi

WICHITA, KS – January 31, 2018– NAI Martens announced Wednesday that it brokered a 15-year lease agreement between the owners of Sweetbriar Shopping Center and Aldi. John O’Rourke and Nathan Farha represented the Sweetbriar ownership in the transaction.

Aldi is already a tenant in the center, located at 2263 N. Amidon Ave., but will now expand into an additional 5,224 square feet. The global discount supermarket chain will now occupy 19,867 square feet. This added space will allow Aldi to offer its newest store concept.

“Everyone seems very happy with this agreement,” O’Rourke said. “It was a convenient chance for Aldi to expand without moving locations.”

The owners of Sweetbriar have agreed to demolish the vacant retail space west of Aldi to make the building a free-standing location. This will give the ownership an approximately 2.5-acre site to allow for another use.

“Aldi now has plenty of space and its own building, and ownership has extra land they’d be willing to sell or build-to-suit,” said O’Rourke. “I think this is a great opportunity for all involved and the surrounding neighborhoods.”

Construction is expected to begin in February and be complete by August.
