The former Christmas Tree Shops building, by the Sagamore Bridge in Bourne, is known as a landmark of Cape Cod.

The former Christmas Tree Shops building by the Sagamore Bridge has a new tenant, at least for the spring and summer.

An outdoor furniture company called TULP Outdoor Living says it has an eight-month lease on the building, known for its thatched roof and windmill. Many consider the building an icon of Cape Cod.

The store plans to open March 1.

In a written statement, a TULP representative said they love the building and don’t plan to make any major modifications.

Greg Bilezikian, son of the founders of the Christmas Tree Shops, owns the building.
