ORLANDO, FL, Aug. 6, 2018 – Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) announces the $72.75 million of Center of Winter Park, a 244,977-square-foot community center located in the Orlando-area community of Winter Park, Florida.

The HFF team marketed the property on behalf of the seller, Sterling Organization.  AEW Capital Management, L.P., on behalf of one of its separate account clients, purchased the asset free and clear of existing debt.

Center of Winter Park is at 501 North Orlando Avenue and positioned at the most dominant retail intersection catering to Winter Park, which, with average incomes exceeding $127,000 annually, is the most affluent community in north Orlando. 

Additionally, the area is a grocery hub with three popular brands within 500 yards of the property.

With a mix of national and regional tenants, the 97-percent-leased Center of Winter Park is home to Ross Dress for Less, HomeGoods, Marshalls, Petco, DSW, LA Fitness, Five Below, Olive Garden, Great Clips, The UPS Store, George’s Gourmet Cookies, Office Depot, Michaels and Zoës Kitchen.  

Additionally, there is a parcel acquisition and redevelopment opportunity.

The HFF investment advisory team representing the seller included senior managing director Brad Peterson, senior director Whitaker Leonhardt and associate Michael Brewster.

“This is one of the most special assignments of my career,” Peterson said.  “The Center of Winter Park is located near my house, so I shop it weekly, drive past it daily for work and have had the privilege of witnessing one of the most successful shopping center developments in the U.S. over the past five years, right here in my own backyard.  The Sterling Organization really hit this one out of the park!”

Michael Brewster
“I cannot be more pleased to also see AEW Capital Management as the new owner,” Peterson continued.  “Over the past two decades, I have seen dozens of high-profile shopping centers around the U.S. that AEW has meticulously cared for, merchandised and taken to the next level. 

"As a resident and frequent shopper of the center, I am really excited to see them sprinkle some more of their ‘magic,’ which will truly improve the quality of life for all the residents of our Winter Park community.”

“The Center of Winter Park is one of the highest quality centers brought to market in the Southeast in 2018,” Leonhardt added.  “It is located at the most dominant retail intersection north of downtown Orlando, nestled between high-volume Whole Foods, Publix and Trader Joe’s stores, has successful category leading anchor tenants and still has a tremendous amount of upside and NOI growth potential.  It truly checks all the boxes investors are seeking today.”
