First National Realty Partners Secures New Major Leases at Brandywine Crossing
First National Realty Partners (FNRP), a prominent name in private equity commercial real estate, has recently completed three significant lease agreements at Brandywine Crossing, a shopping center located in Brandywine, Maryland. These leases, which include popular brands such as Burlington, Another Broken Egg Cafe, and Buffalo Wild Wings GO, highlight FNRP's strategic approach to enhancing the retail and dining offerings in the area.
Burlington, a well-known off-price retailer, is set to occupy a substantial space of 25,310 square feet previously leased to JOANN Fabric and Crafts. The change came about after JOANN filed for bankruptcy, allowing FNRP to swiftly secure a deal with Burlington. This move not only reflects the company’s adeptness in navigating commercial real estate transactions but also their commitment to filling important gaps in the local market.
Fred Battisti, Chief Revenue Officer at FNRP, spoke on the significance of these new leases, stating, "Our ability to quickly secure leases with high-demand brands underscores our strength in executing complex deals swiftly and efficiently. We’re not just filling space—we’re enhancing Brandywine Crossing." This sentiment was echoed by Candace Gschwind, FNRP's Director of Leasing, who emphasized that the introduction of these new retailers would provide the community with exciting new dining options.
In addition to Burlington, Another Broken Egg Cafe and Buffalo Wild Wings GO are expected to open their doors in the fourth quarter of 2025. The opening of Another Broken Egg Cafe, known for its Southern-inspired breakfast and brunch, adds a refreshing breakfast option to the prevailing offerings. Meanwhile, Buffalo Wild Wings GO brings a quick-service concept that emphasizes takeout and delivery, catering to the growing demand for convenient dining.
The strategic placement of Brandywine Crossing, coupled with high foot traffic and its co-tenancy with established brands like Target and Safeway, only solidifies its position as a prime location for retailers. Recent long-term lease renewals for popular dining establishments such as Bonefish Grill and Panda Express further reinforce the center's viability and growth prospects.
First National Realty Partners distinguishes itself by offering accredited investors access to institutional-quality commercial real estate, focusing on grocery-anchored retail, multifamily, and industrial properties throughout the nation. The company oversees the entire investment lifecycle, ensuring that every step from acquisition to disposition is managed effectively.
As these new tenants set to launch in the upcoming years, Brandywine Crossing is poised not only to attract more visitors but also to maintain its position as a vital hub for shopping and dining in the region. The successful implementation of these leases is a testament to FNRP's commitment to enhancing community spaces while also generating strong returns for their investors.
