Combined Properties Extends Safeway Lease at Rose Hill Plaza, Reinforcing Long-Term Commitment to the Alexandria Community

Alexandria, VA — Combined Properties has signed a long-term lease extension with Safeway at Rose Hill Plaza, ensuring the grocery store’s continued operation as a cornerstone of the community for more than a decade to come.

This renewal underscores Combined Properties’ investment in the longevity and vitality of Rose Hill Plaza. The company reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining the center as a thriving neighborhood shopping destination that serves the everyday needs of the Alexandria community.

“Safeway has been an anchor at Rose Hill for decades, and this renewal reinforces our shared belief in the strength and future of this neighborhood center,” said Brian S. Miller, Executive Vice President, Retail Asset Management at Combined Properties. “We’re proud to invest in Rose Hill’s continued success and remain focused on enhancing its role as a convenient, welcoming destination for the local community.”

As part of the lease extension, Safeway will be investing in a refresh of the store to deliver an even better customer experience. The store will continue operations throughout the renovation, with additional updates to be shared as plans progress.

The lease extension, negotiated by Jake Levin of KLNB on behalf of the tenant, strengthens the retail mix that has made Rose Hill a trusted and convenient hub for local residents for over 60 years. Safeway’s continued presence supports the stability of the center and the success of the many small businesses that call Rose Hill Plaza home.

“The Franconia community will be thrilled to learn that Safeway is to continue as a tenant at the Rose Hill Shopping Center into the foreseeable future,” offered Fairfax County Franconia District Supervisor Rodney L. Lusk. “I recognize the importance of Safeway as an anchor tenant. Safeway’s presence is valued by the surrounding community and supports the retention of other businesses at this neighborhood shopping center.  I look forward to working closely with Combined Properties and Safeway as we continue to serve the Rose Hill community.”

Combined Properties continues to invest in its portfolio of community shopping centers throughout the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, focusing on thoughtful stewardship and partnerships that enhance the neighborhoods it serves.
