Zea Rotisserie & Bar has announced it will close its long-standing location at Clearview Mall and move to a new site at Clearview City Center in Metairie. This private-sector tenant relocation marks a shift in leasing dynamics along a major Jefferson Parish retail corridor, reflecting ongoing changes in suburban retail property.
The move will see Zea occupy a standalone space featuring an expanded bar, patio seating, and an open rotisserie kitchen. The company has scheduled job fairs on June 18 and June 24 to facilitate hiring for the new location, although the restaurant’s opening date remains unspecified.
Key players involved in this transition include Zea Rotisserie & Bar, which will operate the new location, and Greenleaf Architects, who are providing renderings. This move from an enclosed mall to a freestanding location indicates a broader trend of repositioning suburban retail areas toward hospitality and experience-focused tenants.
The decision to relocate could influence local leasing strategies and tenant mixes, highlighting significant changes for brokers, landlords, and developers in the area. Additionally, the move is set to generate short-term employment opportunities within the Metairie market.
Though details such as square footage and rental terms weren’t disclosed, the transition signifies a notable development in Jefferson Parish’s retail landscape. Observers will be watching to see if other tenants follow Zea’s lead in moving from mall-based to standalone spaces in this evolving market.
