Victor Wallace, vice president of Belle Realty, which is building Sunset Square where Plej’s used to stand on South Main Street, said a 7,800-square-foot building will house the new Plej’s store. The old one burned in January 1999.

The square has four additional spaces of 1,400 square feet each. Sharonview Federal Credit Union has leased one of them. The other three are still available, Wallace said. The rate is $12 to $16 per square foot, depending on how the occupant wants the space finished.

Sunset Square will have a total of 13,600 square feet when finished, Wallace said, and he’s already receiving lots of calls from people who might want to lease it.

Wallace called the complex “a real home-grown project” because it is being handled entirely by local companies.

Local architect Berlel Brady designed the project. Hoyt Pope’s company, Snipes & Associates, is the contractor. Wallace Realty, of which Victor Wallace is president of marketing, is leasing the space.

Wallace said it had been a long time since any kind of development was done entirely by local people. It was possible because it is “a modest center,” he said.
