There is great excitement in the real estate air here in Kitsap County WA!

Keller Williams West Sount Realty has recently signed a 5-year lease for space next door to Forza in the Town Centre Plaza in Silverdale WA. Tenant improvements are underway with a Grand Opening slated sometime in late February to early March.

The Keller Williams Real Estate Hub in Kitsap County WA will be a relatively new concept in retail real estate office space, offering a consumer-centric, technology-driven resource center for new & current area residents.

It will also provide an efficient wireless technology environment for agents/brokers to connect and quickly accomplish work-related tasks.

Roughly a third of the space will be dedicated to providing technology tools and resources for consumer clients. Everything relating to real estate and living life on the Kitsap Peninsula will be readily available, including information on area schools, local businesses, current events, recreational attractions, etc.

Discounts & coupons for products/services will be made regularly available through partnerships with local businesses.

A computer/monitor station will be available for visitors to perform their property searches and print out information from the Internet.

Another section of the space will offer high counter work stations where agents/brokers can plug in their laptops, tablets, or mobile devices, connect to the Internet Wi-fi, print up contracts, scan/email documents, etc..

A small private conference room will offer agents/brokers additional space to meet with their clients.

This location offers great visibility exposure and high traffic potential. Forza and the surrounding businesses in the Town Centre Plaza are very popular with area residents, including the new Fujiyama Japanese Steakhouse and the new Blu-Berry Frozen Yogurt.

WHAT’S HAPPENING NOW?

Area residents haven’t been very excited about our weather, but they’re definitely thrilled that the long-awaited Trader Joe’s will finally be making its opening debut here in Silverdale WA on June 17th!

After many years of rumors and speculations, I was one of the first ones to officially break the news that the coveted chain was indeed making plans to enter the Kitsap County market, 3 Buck Chuck Comes to Kitsap County WA

The store will occupy a freshly remodeled 13,300 square feet of former Circuit City space on Mickelberry Road, just across from Costco. This will be one of Trader Joe’s largest stores, most which are normally between 6,000 to 7,000 square feet in size.

It will be interesting to see what, if any, impact this store opening will have on other area markets. Silverdale Red Apple Market recently sold its building to the group that operates The Grocery Outlet in East Bremerton. But Trader Joe’s is unique in the food-stuff space. It takes the mundane chore of food shopping and turns it into a cool cultural experience. The Monrovia CA-based company is one of the hottest retailers in the country, a reputation they’ve achieved mainly through viral word-of-mouth marketing spread by highly satisfied and happy customers.
