CITRUS HEIGHTS, CA (MPG) – Designer Shoe Warehouse (DSW) has signed a lease to fill an 18,168-square-foot space formerly occupied by Off Broadway Shoe Warehouse which closed in January in the MarketPlace at Birdcage after 20 years in business.

Construction crews are preparing the retail space for new construction. Representatives from DSW's parent company, Designer Brands Inc., did not respond to an email seeking comment about a likely opening date. 

DSW is based in Columbus, OH and is owned by Designers Brands, Inc., selling name brand shoes and fashion accessories.

DSW sells an assortment of shoes for men, women and children. The retailer has at least four other locations in the Sacramento area, including Arden Way, the Fountains at Roseville and in the Folsom Gateway in Folsom.

Two other construction projects are currently underway within the MarketPlace at Birdcage. A major renovation of the Walmart Neighborhood Market grocery store which faces Sunrise Boulevard has started with a reported mid-July completion date, according to the company signage.

A new luxury nail and beauty lounge, Rose Nail Lounge, is also expected to open this summer in the shopping plaza, according to the salon’s owner.

Construction crews were recently onsite completing trenches for piping that will run beneath the floor of the salon.

Owner Vinh Nguyen said the tentative mid-July opening date may shift depending on the progress of construction and approval of necessary inspections.
