Sparks Galleria Shopping Center, in Spanish Springs community, Sparks, NV

NEW YORK – Cohen Real Estate (CRE), headquartered in New York, has announced the sale of Sparks Galleria Shopping Center, a 633,498 square-foot shopping center in Sparks, Nev., for $26.2 million.  

 Rick Kaiser of Cohen Real Estate represented the seller, a private investor based in North Carolina.  Michael Cleeman of Cohen Real Estate represented the buyer Pine Tree Commercial Realty, headquartered in Chicago, Ill.

 The Sparks Galleria is a retail power shopping center that serves much of the Sparks trade area.  It is strategically located at the intersection of Pyramid Highway and Disc Drive in the heart of Sparks’ “Spanish Springs” master planned community.

  The property is anchored by Costco and Home Depot that were not part of the sale, with co-tenants including Starbucks, Office Depot, Qdoba, GNC, Gamestop and a number of other national retailers.  The center was 57% occupied at the time of the sale having lost a couple of anchors during the real estate downturn.      

 “The buyer saw a great opportunity to acquire a well located property with strong anchors that offered tremendous upside with 43% vacancy,” said Cleeman..

“ While under contract the buyer was able to secure a lease for one of the anchor spaces.   

"Down the road there are additional development phases that will allow them to add approximately 200,000 square feet to the property adding more upside potential to the acquisition.

 “The property will fit in nicely with Pine Tree’s portfolio of properties and ability to turn around properties through their leasing and development expertise.”
  
Kaiser noted, “The owner of the property being based on the east coast felt they were not in the best position to revitalize the asset nor realize the future growth potential.”
