‘Real Estate Weekly’: Construction on Sportsman’s Plaza in Gonzales expected to start in spring

Sportsman’s Plaza, a 10,800-square-foot retail strip center on Cabela’s Parkway in Gonzales—situated near both the Cabela’s outdoors store and the Tanger Outlets—should break ground in the spring. Steve Legendre with Beau Box Commercial Real Estate, who’s marketing the property for its developer, says a deal to secure the land should be completed in early January, with construction to begin in March or April. “We have about 5,000 square feet pre-leased to a Chinese restaurant, and we’ve been speaking to a number of local and regional companies who have expressed interest,” Legendre says. The development, which will be built on a 58,000-square-foot site, could house up to as many three other tenants, he says, or as few as one more. “I’d love to get a barbecue place in there. I’ve spoken with Voodoo BBQ and some others; and they’ve considered the site,” Legendre says. “It’s a little too early to say who might end up in there, but I think once we start getting it out of the ground we’ll lease it up pretty quickly.” He says the developer, CSD Developments LLC, is hoping to have the project finished by December of next year.
