Morganton Heights shopping center is for sale, but the anchor store, Walmart, is not.
The shopping center, located at 400 Henredon Road off Fleming Drive, is for sale for $36.2 million. The asking price breaks down to $127 a square foot, according to the listing with CP Partners Commercial Real Estate Brokerage in California.
The shopping center, which makes up 284,566 square feet and sits on 61.26 acres with 1,338 parking spots, opened in 2013, according to the listing and previous News Herald stories.
While the sale does not include the Walmart Supercenter, that store is a big draw to the shopping center.
The shops that front the shopping center also are not included in the sale. Those properties include Applebee’s, Panera Bread and Aspen Dental and the strip of shops where Buffalo Wild Wings is located. In addition, it doesn’t include the Murphy Express or Sam’s Xpress car wash.
