Shrewsbury commercial real estate developer Donat Aubuchon has purchased Dartmouth’s “Big Value Outlet Plaza” from Dartmouth Select Board member David Tatelbaum for $7.5 million.
The new owner plans to modernize the property with a new facade and keep the anchor store which has been around since 1990, but whose structure goes back to 1962. In addition, he wants to add a drive-through area to benefit a potential retailer that is interested in the location.
For those who frequent the plaza regularly, don’t be alarmed: the current tenants will remain.
Renovations are expected to begin on the site this fall after approval has been received by Dartmouth’s Planning Board.
