Local developer and engineer Scott Lansing is partnering with the Jersen Construction Group of Waterford on an expansion of Sitwell Plaza, a mixed-use property off Route 9 in Malta.
Sitwell Plaza is comprised of three buildings. Two are built and occupied by tenants. The expansion involves building a third—a 12,000-square-foot structure that is under construction.
Lansing, founder of Lansing Engineering in Malta, said he has a “great working relationship” with Dave and Ken Jersen. “We’ve been working together about 10 years or so now on other properties. They were and are integral to this project,” he said.
“They’re an excellent construction group. They can help with the building, design and management aspect of projects. Our strengths and weaknesses on both ends seem to balance each other out,” said Lansing. “It’s been a great partnership the whole way.”
The plaza will have several new tenants. A 4,250-square-foot space previously occupied by Wired Coffee Roasters will be taken over by Active Ingredient Brewing Co. The town of Malta recently issued a special use permit for the brewery.
“Active Ingredient will be an amazing addition to the plaza, and we’re very excited to have them come in. They’re talking about a late winter or early 2021 opening. They’re being smart about it,” said Lansing.
A nutritional drink company is also opening its doors in the next couple of months, he said. Other space will be available for additional tenants. Current tenants include a barber shop, nail salon, pet salon, Domino’s Pizza, a dentist and fitness facility.
Sitwell Plaza has 5,000 square feet currently available for lease in the existing buildings.
A daycare tenant is slated to go into the new building and others are pending.
