“Fountain Square is part core asset and part value-add,” says Burstyn. “The property has multiple credit tenants, five pad buildings and vacancy rate of 32 percent, providing Whitestone with a stable base return and an achievable upside. Located at an ‘A’ intersection in Phoenix at Seventh Street and Bell Road, the asset attracted a great deal of interest from a wide range of investors,” adds Burstyn.

In-line tenants include Planet Fitness, Payless Shoe Source, Hallmark, T-Mobile, UPS, Avon, H & R Block, Rent-A-Center and Weight Watchers. The pad users include leases with U.S. Bank, Village Inn, Hi-Health, El Pollo Loco and Baja Fresh. Safeway and McDonald’s are contiguous to Fountain Square but were not included in the offering

The property was developed in 1986 by Charles Keating of Continental Properties.
