Brad Peterson
ORLANDO, FL – HFF announced it has closed the $37.3 million sale of Colonial Landing, a leasehold interest in a 259,024-square-foot retail power center in Orlando, Florida.

                HFF marketed the property on behalf of the seller, a joint venture between Weingarten Realty Investors and other private investors.  Retail Centers of America advised by Lincoln Retail REIT Services, a division of Lincoln Property Company, purchased the asset free and clear of existing debt.

                Colonial Landing is located 2.2 miles from downtown Orlando at the 15-lane signalized intersection of East Colonial Drive (State Road 50) and Maguire Boulevard, directly across from the Orlando Fashion Square Mall. 

The East Colonial retail trade area is the closest retail trade area to downtown Orlando and has had significant recent leasing and redevelopment activity, including the current major overhaul of the Orlando Fashion Square Mall. 

Situated on 23.2 acres at 3225 East Colonial Drive, Colonial Landing is 100-percent-leased to high-quality national anchor tenants, including Bed Bath & Beyond, Buy Buy Baby, PetSmart, Sports Authority, Jo-Ann Fabrics & Crafts, hhgregg and Party City.

The sale also included outparcel pads leased to Red Lobster, Smokey Bones, Fifth Third Bank and Pollo Tropical.

                The HFF investment sales team representing the seller was led by senior managing director Brad Peterson, associate director Whitaker Leonhardt and real estate analyst Anthony Frogameni.

                “Colonial Landing is one of the premier power center assets in Orlando and has the right balance of high-quality national anchor tenants, outparcels and shops,” Peterson said.  

“Its infill location within such close proximity to downtown Orlando, Winter Park and Baldwin Park, provides a rare opportunity to have both high density and high income demographics within its trade area, permitting tenants to outperform.”

                Weingarten Realty Investors (NYSE: WRI) is a shopping center owner, manager and developer. 

  At June 30, 2014, the company owned or operated under long-term leases, either directly or through its interest in real estate joint ventures or partnerships, a total of 259 properties which are located in 21 states spanning the country from coast to coast.
