Cousins Properties Announces Retail Dispositions


PetSmart at Tiffany Springs MarketCenter
Kansas City, MO

ATLANTA -- Cousins Properties Incorporated (NYSE: CUZ) announced today the unwinding of two retail joint ventures and the sale of a retail power center as it continues to implement its strategy to exit non-core holdings and focus on Class-A office properties and opportunistic mixed-use developments.

The two joint ventures consisted of eight retail centers, totaling 2.1 million square feet, in four markets. 

The Prudential Insurance Company of America, which previously held an approximately 89 percent interest in the ventures, purchased Cousins’ interests to become sole owner of the portfolio. 

The transaction valued Cousins’ interests at approximately $57 million prior to allocation of property level debt.

Cousins also completed the sale of Tiffany Springs MarketCenter, a retail power center in Kansas City, Missouri, for approximately $54 million to an unrelated third party.
