Description

The former Albertsons Grocery store and Big Lots space is now vacant and for lease in a more digestible format with a flexible and creative owner interested in filling the space with excellent businesses. With logically demised spaces as small as 8,500 and as large as 41,000 square feet, it is still ideal for a grocery store or a large format retailer, as well as a myriad of other uses. A 2020 multimillion dollar renovation was completed  including the HVAC system, roof top units, handlers and ductwork as well as a new roof, LED lighting, sprinkler system, Siemens building automation system, parking lot sealing, and ADA bathrooms. This building also features a loading dock, heavy power, 140 parking spaces and is located in the high-density Birchwood neighborhood. 

The Park Manor Shopping Center is situated at the Corner of Northwest Avenue and Birchwood Avenue in a vibrant retail trade area that is a Federally Designated Food Desert. The Albertsons store was closed in 2016 as part of the Safeway / Albertsons merger and a restrictive covenant placed on the property preventing another grocery store from operating in this location. Almost a decade later the WA State Attorney General successfully forced Albertsons to drop the restriction. It was officially removed from title in March of 2026. This building is less than a mile from Interstate 5 and Bellis Fair Mall and enjoys annual growth in the number of adjacent households of around 11% and is 1.4 miles from the counties only hospital serving over 250,000 residents. With abundant parking and three separate entrances off Birchwood Ave and Northwest Ave, accessibility to the site is outstanding, as is visibility, a must have for many businesses.
