Raymond Poe, a member of the Sunnyland Development Partners, said the group closed on Sunnyland Plaza Aug. 3.

Work is currently under way to improve the Plaza in the hopes of attracting tenants.

A new stucco exterior will be applied above the windows as well as a crown with cornice detail. Canopies will be put over the windows and phase 2 plans call for the largest building to be split and subdivided into smaller shops.

The parking lot will be repaved with asphalt and striped the second week of September. About 40 potholes have already been filled.

Additional landscaping with curbs and trees is part of the plan.

Poe said he is one of the partners who now owns the entire Plaza, excluding Knickerbocker’s bar and the nearby gas station.

Poe said the project has been in the works for about a year and includes a development agreement with the city of Washington.

“Without them, this wouldn’t have been possible,” he said.
