Outlets Vicksburg gets new owner and name

The Atlanta-based real estate investment firm, which purchased the 93,000-square-foot center through its BRC Vicksburg affiliate, has plans to rebrand the center, built in 1955, as Vicksburg Commons. The company will also expand the tenant base and the various uses to complement the current tenants, among which are Claire’s Outlet, Famous Footwear, Hanesbrands, Kay Jewelers Outlet and The Children’s Place.

“The primary vision for Vicksburg Commons is to create a unique shopping experience with traditional national, regional and local retail tenants as well as restaurants and office tenants,” the company said.

“We are already talking with several retail tenants who are not in the Vicksburg market but should be, in our opinion,” said Steve Patrick, vice president of leasing and property management at Blue Ridge Capital. “We will certainly be reaching out to the local community, as well as seeking entrepreneurs who are looking to create a new business, expand, downsize or relocate.”
