The Shops at Mira Vista is a 68,340 square foot neighborhood shopping center, offering a diverse mix of upscale retailers and restaurants.

The center is anchored by Trader Joe’s - the specialty grocery chain’s first location in the Austin market - as well as other notable tenants, including Panera Bread Company, Nothing Bundt Cakes and Champions Cheer and Dance.

 “The acquisition of the Shops at Mira Vista fits perfectly with our strategy to invest in class A centers located in high-barrier markets,” said Stuart Brackenridge, Vice President, Transactions.

“Austin is a booming economic market and this center is strategically placed to serve the thriving community that surrounds it. Currently, the center is 98% leased with strong interest in the last remaining vacancy.”

The Shops at Mira Vista is located at the southwest corner of Bee Cave Road and Edgegrove Drive, easily accessible to the affluent Rollingwood and Westlake Hills neighborhoods. The property is approximately three miles southwest of the Austin Central Business District, and benefits from a sizable daytime population of more than 180,000.

This transaction continues Regency’s expansion in Texas, which includes recent investments in the Houston and Dallas markets. This will be Regency’s fifth center in the Austin area.
