At Tuscaloosa's busiest retail corridor, JM Plaza at 1410 McFarland Boulevard E introduces a premier ground-lease opportunity within a brand-new commercial development anchored by nationally recognized retailers. Parcel 3 offers 51,717 square feet (1.19 acres) of prime MX-5-zoned land between a new Krispy Kreme and Full Moon BBQ, an exceptional site for a high-visibility user. JM Plaza benefits from outstanding exposure, with traffic counts exceeding 85,000 vehicles per day (VPD) at McFarland Boulevard and 15th Street E.
Surrounded by a strong mix of national brands such as DSW, Dick's Sporting Goods, and The Fresh Market, JM Plaza sits adjacent to leading retail destinations, including the Shoppes at Legacy Park, University Mall, and Midtown Village. Robust residential growth, including the nearby Lofts @ City Center with 250 student beds directly across the street and proximity to the University of Alabama, home to 39,000 students, creates an alluring, built-in patron stream. Within a 2-mile radius, the population has grown by more than 9% since 2020, with continued increases projected through 2029, driving nearly $500 million in annual consumer spending.
As Downtown Tuscaloosa continues to experience unprecedented reinvestment across public and private sectors, JM Plaza stands at the forefront of this transformation. This 1.19-acre parcel presents an exceptional opportunity for a credit-approved retailer, restaurant, or service provider to establish a flagship presence in one of Alabama's most vibrant and fast-growing markets.
