Publix-anchored centers attract interest
Recent retail market trends highlight a growing investor interest in grocery-anchored centers, with Publix emerging as a particularly sought-after tenant. Earlier in July, Publix acquired Harbour Pointe Village, a 123,772-square-foot grocery-anchored shopping center in Midlothian, Va. The anchor-tenant purchased the asset for $35.8 million in a transaction brokered by JLL.
That same month, The Sembler Co. completed a 60,500-square-foot shopping center in Milledgeville, Ga. Lakeside Commons comprises a 48,387-square-foot freestanding Publix and 12,000 square feet of small shop space.
Last year, PGIM has sold two grocery-anchored retail centers, totaling 181,000 square feet, for $32 million. JLL Capital Markets brokered the deal on behalf of the seller. The properties, located in Miramar and Jensen Beach, Fla., were both anchored by Publix.
