Nordstrom Rack Opening Adds Retail Firepower to DLC's Colony Place

DLC, Renovo Construction, and NWS Architects deliver the 27,000-square-foot ground-up store on time, on budget, and ready for Labor Day shoppers

PLYMOUTH, Mass., Sept. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Teams from DLC, Renovo Construction, and NWS Architects joined Nordstrom Rack yesterday to celebrate the grand opening of a new 27,000-square-foot store at Colony Place in Plymouth, Massachusetts, adding significant retail firepower to one of the region's leading shopping destinations.

The ground-up store opened less than a year after the project broke ground in November 2025. It was delivered on time and on budget through DLC's fully integrated platform, with Renovo Construction serving as general contractor and NWS Architects providing design services.

Close coordination among DLC, Renovo Construction, and NWS kept the project moving from design through construction and turnover, positioning the retailer to open ahead of the busy Labor Day shopping weekend.

"Nordstrom Rack brings real retail firepower to Colony Place," said Adam Ifshin, Founder and CEO of DLC. "It strengthens an already compelling destination and gives shoppers another reason to choose this center. Just as important, this opening shows what is possible when ownership, construction, design, and the retailer operate as one team with a shared focus on execution."

"There was an opportunity to welcome Nordstrom Rack to the center, and we had the right location but not the right space," said Chris Ressa, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of DLC. "We created that opportunity by developing unused land within the center. That's often where the best value creation comes from, not just leasing existing space, but finding new ways to use the real estate."

"Delivering a ground-up store on this timeline required discipline, communication, and quick decision-making from everyone involved," said Peyton Thomas, Vice President of Renovo Construction.

"Strong design coordination creates a smoother path from the first drawing through opening day," said Ken Nadolski, Managing Principal of NWS Architects. "NWS, Renovo, DLC, and Nordstrom Rack stayed aligned throughout the process, allowing the team to move decisions forward efficiently while protecting the design intent and the customer experience."

The opening further strengthens Colony Place's position as a major retail destination serving Plymouth and the surrounding region. It also demonstrates how DLC's owner-operator model and integrated platform can connect leasing, development, construction, design, and property operations to move projects forward with greater speed and accountability.
