Sierra Trading Post, an off-price outdoor and adventure merchandiser that does business as Sierra, will open its first store in sa国际传媒官网网页入口 at Cottonwood Corners shopping center in 2026, a Commercial Association of Realtors New Mexico shows.
The retailer will fill a roughly 19,000-square-foot space formerly occupied by Toys 鈥淩鈥 Us, according to Josh Simon, CEO of SimonCRE, the property鈥檚 owner.
鈥淚 think it just shows the strength of the retail market,鈥 Simon said. 鈥淲e鈥檙e excited.鈥
Sierra has one other New Mexico location in Santa Fe. That store opened in 2022. Simon declined to share the length of Sierra鈥檚 lease at Cottonwood Corners but said, 鈥渋t鈥檚 for a significant amount of time.鈥
Arizona-based SimonCRE will begin upgrading the space鈥檚 interior and exterior around February in hopes of turning the space over to Sierra to open sometime in the fall of 2026.
The new-to-market addition is part of a larger redevelopment plan SimonCRE has in store for Cottonwood Corners, which it acquired in 2024.
Simon said the plan includes building additional spaces, refiguring existing spaces and bringing in new tenants. With the addition of Sierra, the center鈥檚 occupancy rate stands at more than 90%, Simon said.
鈥淩e-envisioning that shopping center is just the tip of the iceberg of what we have coming,鈥 Simon said. 鈥淐an鈥檛 really talk about (it) because we鈥檙e bound by confidentiality agreements, but there鈥檚 some big stuff that鈥檚 going to be coming there.鈥
The Commercial Association of Realtors New Mexico listing shows that a national specialty grocery store will join the center in 2027. Simon said new tenant announcements will roll out next year.
