An Ohio-based real estate investment trust is poised to buy Classen Curve, Nichols Hills Plaza, and Triangle @ Classen Curve shopping centers from Chesapeake Energy for $51.8 million, and also has plans for future development in Oklahoma City.

The Columbus-based Glimcher Realty Trust said in a regulatory filing that it will likely complete the purchase of the three open-air shopping centers that include Oklahoma City’s only Whole Foods and Anthropologie stores during the first quarter of the year. Glimcher also has 12 adjacent acres of vacant land owned by Chesapeake under contract and wants to pursue development in the area that could include a hotel or housing, among other possibilities.

In a quarterly conference call with analysts, Glimcher Chairman and CEO Michael Glimcher said the pending Oklahoma City purchases would give the company the potential to create a new shopping and entertainment district that would draw shoppers from across the city.

“With the markets of only Whole Foods, Anthropologie and Lululemon already in place, we see an opportunity to create a fully integrated shopping and entertainment district that would not only serve the immediate trade area but all of Oklahoma City,” Glimcher said during the call. “With respect to the development land, we will have the opportunity to add additional retail space along with possible mixed uses including residential, office and hospitality.”
