Pickleball Company Dill Dinkers brings Sully Place Shopping Center to 99% occupancy
Chantilly, VA — KLNB announced that the retail team of principals Dimitri Georgelakos, Veronica Kamara, and Billy Kelly has secured a 30,400 s/f lease at Sully Place Shopping Center, located at 13954 Metrotech Dr. in Chantilly, with national indoor pickleball facility company Dill Dinkers. KLNB represented the landlord in the transaction, while the tenant was represented by Rick Solano.
Dill Dinkers is backfilling the space previously occupied by Babies R Us, and with this lease, the center is now 99% occupied. KLNB began working with the landlord in 2017, when the retail team was tasked with improving the center’s then 70% occupancy rate while assisting in a repositioning of the overall asset. In less than 10 years, and through the turmoil of the pandemic, KLNB’s team has continued to negotiate strong tenant lease agreements with attractive national and regional retail brands leading to near-full occupancy today.
“Our team consistently finds innovative ways to secure top-tier tenants- even in the most challenging markets,” said Georgelakos. “What sets KLNB apart is our unmatched expertise in the DMV’s market dynamics, along with our deep understanding of retail sector factors and emerging retailers like Dill Dinkers. This allows us to not only meet but exceed our clients’ expectations, ensuring they receive optimal value for their properties and long-term leasing success.”
Georgelakos adds that the landlord, the McLean-based family run Beatty Management Company, has done an exceptional job of repositioning its various centers to attract a variety of tenants, and they continue to be a truly collaborative client.
Susi Beatty, CEO and President of Beatty, echoes Georgelakos’ comments, saying, “Just this year alone the collaboration of these two teams has added an additional 6% of occupancy to Sully Place, bringing us very close to being 100% leased. I’m very proud of the partnership we have with KLNB across our portfolio, as they continue to exceed our expectations.”
