The center contains a total of 65,460 square feet of gross leasable area and includes numerous national; anchor, inline and outparcel tenants including: Office Depot, Petco, Starbucks, Chick-fil-A, BB&T, Steak ‘n Shake, Subway and Chili’s.

 College Station is situated on an 18.2 acre master ground leased parcel and was constructed in phases from 2005 to 2009. The asset was 100% leased at the time of sale. A 1.96 +/- acre expansion parcel was included in the sale. Traffic counts averaged nearly 53,000 vehicles per day.

 Jim Michalak represented the seller in the transaction. The seller and buyer were REDUS Florida Commercial, LLC and Clermont College Station, LLC a private equity firm, respectively. 

“Clermont’s anchored retail center occupancy rate is 97.3% and is indicative of the strength of trade area” states Michalak. “The transaction opportunity presented several hurdles including the master ground lease and an over-sized Office Depot store.

“However the strength of the location, credit tenancy and the future development component were attractive aspects for investors that submitted bids on the project”.
