PRATTVILLE, AL | AUG 20, 2012 – BVCV High Point, LLC (BVCV), a joint venture of Clearview Investments, Ltd., from Dallas, Texas, and Ball Ventures, LLC, from Idaho Falls, Idaho, acquired High Point Town Center earlier this year. This group looks to invest in select properties across the country and maintains a distinguished portfolio of investments. Together, Clearview Investments and Ball Ventures have teamed together to target opportunistic investment projects. For BVCV, High Point Town Center is an excellent investment opportunity with over 481,000 square feet of retail space on over a 100 acre site that includes 38 acres of developable land for apartments and additional projects, and 12 outparcels.

This open-air lifestyle center has all the right ingredients:

• Anchored by successful stores Belk, JCPenney, Publix and Best Buy.
• Adjacent to the Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World.
• A growing economy encouraged and supported by the City of Prattville.
• Successful retail in the immediate area.
• Great access, location and infrastructure.

Shortly after the purchase by BVCV of High Point Town Center, Jim Wilson & Associates, LLC (JWA) was retained to lease and manage the shopping center. With JWA’s background of local, state and national recognition and the experience of several projects designed similar to High Point, Jim Wilson & Associates looks to provide solid direction for High Point Town Center for the future. Led by Will Wilson as President, JWA has been diligently working toward improving the property with its management and leasing efforts.

As the key JWA leasing representative, Senior Vice President Woody Rush, with over 30 years of retail leasing experience, is putting together a new tenant merchandising plan for the specialty store space at High Point. Rush explained, “The goal is to turn up the efforts to give Prattville and the surrounding market area additional retail store selection at High Point Town Center. Drawing from JWA’s success of similar open-air properties such as Eastchase in Montgomery and River Crossing in Macon, Georgia, and marquis, enclosed mall projects such as the Riverchase Galleria in Birmingham and Mall of Louisiana in Baton Rouge, Jim Wilson & Associates will focus on new food operations, jewelry and gift stores and ladies and junior apparel for High Point.”

Looking ahead, Will Wilson commented that “Patience may be the most important watch word as retail moves deliberately while the economy recovers, the consumer returns and the retail tenants once again address excellent expansion opportunities.”
