Mattress Firm, 5 Star Nails & Spa and Domino’s Pizza have signed leases in the project, which will have visibility on U.S. Highway 34. There is 8,800 sf of available space. Construction will start this month, with completion in spring. The project will be situated off Sculptor Drive, near Lowe’s and Kohl’s. “We are excited to see the continued development of our Van de Water community,” Ashley Stiles, McWhinney vice president of development, said in an announcement. “Given the region’s population growth and Van de Water’s proximity to local residents and businesses, the site could not be better positioned within Loveland’s growing community.” Scott Steputis of Crosbie Real Estate Group is handling leasing of the available space. Infusion Architects LLC is the architect for the project, which will be built by contractor Coe Construction Inc.
