The Recipe for the Worlds Largest Global Market Place? Huge Retail Complex - a Television Station - Global Merchandise and Access to Water Ports: Welc

Fredericksburg, VA (PRWEB) June 2, 2007 -- Global Shopping is being taken to new heights with a huge one-of-a-kind commercial marketplace. The WorldStreet Center in Fredericksburg, VA and offers the unprecedented opportunity of direct ownership of showroom and selling space to its global participants. The location, which is 40 minutes from Washington, DC, was chosen for the global marketplace because it shares the largest retail and entertainment complex in North America with close proximity to the Port of Virginia, the largest deep water port (55 feet) on the east coast of the US.

World Street is the first in America to offer multi channel selling and marketing opportunities through live TV broadcasting from onsite locations, This is were the similarity ends with the two other American companies, HSN and QVC. They broadcast from a fixed studio we will broadcast from over 350 spaces through out the complex. The WorldStreet complex will feature vendors from all over the world who will own the real estate space inside the 70,000 meter site, complete with food court, 5 restaurants and 4 cafes.

Artie Kwiat, Highland Beach, FL, a key agent for the WorldStreet project states, "We are seeing all kinds of manufacturers becoming involved in the project, from every part of the globe." Kwiat has been involved in retail development for more than 33 years. As a successful entrepreneur, he built up his sixty two athletic footwear and accessories stores, which were eventually bought out by Footlocker. He has since been a consultant in specialty retail, and is a real estate broker. Mr. Kwiat has been involved in WorldStreet from inception.

"The sale of retail space is a nearly unheard of practice in today's retail industry. Retail space is typically leased by the square foot." Kwiat said. The $250 million, 750,000-square-foot indoor retail facility offers all of its space for purchase. Space is being sold as retail condominiums and will measure anywhere from 1,000 to 5,000 square feet each. Kwiat added, "The concept is simple.... open up real estate space for the sale of merchandise from manufacturers throughout the world - with all the marketing opportunities under one roof." So far, retailers and manufacturers from Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, India, Mexico, Peru, Turkey, Venezuela and Asia have contracts to purchase retail space at WorldStreet.

The WorldStreet plan includes a global mix of product showrooms, specialty shops and European-style boutiques, along with a variety of restaurants, cafes, and themed pavilions and culinary-arts attractions. The development is expected to attract approximately 350 international manufacturers and distributors from around the World.

"We are looking for agents that have relationships with manufacturers throughout the World." says Kwiat. The facility will be ready for occupancy in the first quarter of 2009. For more information please contact Artie Kwiat at 561-243-1755.
