First National Realty Partners Achieves 98% Leasing Success with OneLife Fitness at Tannehill Promenade

First National Realty Partners Boosts Tannehill Promenade with New OneLife Fitness Lease

In a significant development for the retail landscape of Bessemer, Alabama, First National Realty Partners (FNRP) has announced a successful lease agreement with OneLife Fitness at Tannehill Promenade, elevating the property’s occupancy rate to an impressive 98%. This strategic move reflects FNRP’s commitment to enhancing the quality of their tenant mix and ultimately driving value for the shopping center.

OneLife Fitness, a prominent regional fitness brand known for its upscale facilities, will occupy the former JCPenney space, which had been vacant since 2017. The 57,455-square-foot location will transform into a hub for health and wellness, featuring premium amenities such as state-of-the-art fitness equipment, expansive group classes, personal training, and recovery areas that mimic a spa environment. This arrival is set to not only reactivate a long-dormant anchor space but is also anticipated to draw consistent foot traffic, encouraging a community-focused atmosphere.

The Birmingham area will mark OneLife Fitness's first venture into this market, offering a high-quality fitness experience while strengthening Tannehill Promenade's reputation as a key shopping destination. The new club is scheduled to open its doors in December 2025, promising to deliver a valuable service to local residents and fitness enthusiasts alike.

Fred Battisti, Chief Revenue Officer at FNRP, expressed his enthusiasm: “We’re thrilled to welcome OneLife Fitness to Tannehill Promenade and support their growth in Alabama. Filling a long-vacant site with a brand that will generate ongoing foot traffic is precisely the kind of impactful leasing endeavor we aim for.”

Strategically located off I-459, Tannehill Promenade enjoys excellent visibility and significant regional traffic, with over 86,000 vehicles passing daily. The shopping center currently features a diverse mix of respected national retailers such as Publix, Target, Ross, T.J. Maxx, and Burlington. OneLife Fitness’s addition will further enrich the center's array of offerings, enhancing its appeal to consumers while benefiting existing tenants.

Andrew Nesbitt, Director of Leasing at FNRP, noted the importance of this addition: “OneLife Fitness provides top-tier fitness services at a prime location. Their presence enhances Tannehill Promenade’s regional attractiveness and supports our objective of creating an engaging environment for our tenants and the local community.”

Earlier developments this year also saw FNRP signing a lease with Aqua Dermatology for over 2,300 square feet, reinforcing Tannehill Promenade's stronghold within the Birmingham retail sector.
