DAILY REPORT FEATURES OBSTACLES OF SEMBLER SHOPPING CENTER (March 26, 2009)
The Daily Report recently detailed the challenges overcome by The Sembler Co., the firm’s client, and HSSW, to open Canton MarketPlace in Cherokee County, Georgia. Despite a difficult economy, Sembler worked with HSSW Partners Robert D. Simons, Jeremy D. Cohen, Ashley Stanley and five other HSSW attorneys to ensure the 800,000-square foot power center opened as scheduled.
“The project was a mountain,” explained Simons. HSSW has worked on the project since 2004, overcoming significant obstacles, such as moving 2.4 million cubic yards of dirt, retailers filing for bankruptcy protection and the lockdown of the global credit markets. However, none of the factors was enough to sabotage the project. Canton MarketPlace, along with its anchors SuperTarget, Lowe’s Home Improvement and Kohl’s, celebrated the grand opening in March.
