First National Realty Partners on Thursday said it added Loyal Plaza in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, to its grocery-anchored shopping center portfolio. This 289,000-square-foot asset reflects the Red Bank-based real estate firm’s rapid growth in Pennsylvania and continues its nationwide expansion in the open-air retail property sector.
Loyal Plaza is anchored by a 67,000-square-foot, high-performing Giant Food Store that has been a tenant at the center since 1999. The center’s tenant roster also features a mix of necessity-based national retailers, including a brand-new Hobby Lobby and Planet Fitness, as well as Rite Aid, Advance Auto Parts and BB&T Bank.
