Vista Equities Group and Vista Private Equity Group are pleased to announce construction of a build-to-suit Academy Sports + Outdoors in Terre Haute, Indiana
Vista Equities Group and Vista Private Equity Group have closed on an 11.09 acre tract of land on the Northeast Corner of US Highway 41 and Springhill Drive in Terre Haute, Indiana. Academy Sports + Outdoors will anchor the 125,000 square foot development, Honey Creek Marketplace, with a 62,943 square foot store. In addition to Academy, the center will include a 6,000 square foot multi-tenant building and additional anchor tenants to be announced. Construction will start on the center in the spring of 2015 with Academy scheduled to open in November of 2015. The project is in the main retail corridor of Terre Haute with many national and regional retail tenants and restaurants in the immediate vicinity.
In addition to being home to Indiana State University, Terre Haute’s geographic location allows its residents to enjoy activities such as fishing, camping, and hunting which will fuel demand for products sold by Academy.
