San Jose, CA – (July 24, 2012) – Meacham/Oppenheimer CORFAC International announced today that a new Walmart Neighborhood Market is going into Evergreen Village Square near the corner of Aborn Road and Ruby Avenue in San Jose.

Walmart will occupy a vacant 40,950-square-foot retail site that has been empty since a Lunardi's market exited in 2007.  Property owner Shapell Properties was represented by Meacham/Oppenheimer Principals Mike Messinger and Josh Gispan in the 10-year lease. Financial considerations in the transaction could not be disclosed.

Walmart has started to renovate the interior space and expects to open early next year. The new store would employ up to 95 people once open and operating. The giant retailer said that the its neighborhood market format reflects its move to open more grocery-oriented, ‘express’ stores.

Evergreen Village is comprised of approximately 165,000 square feet and includes a community center, offices, retail stores, restaurants, entertainment outlets and the anchor grocery store that is designed around a central square. The village serves as the commercial center for more than 4,000 single-family and apartment homes on the 865-acre master-planned community in the eastern foothills of San Jose.
