HFF closes sale of two Central Florida Publix-anchored retail properties




ORLANDO, FL - HFF announced it has closed the sale of two Central Florida Publix-anchored retail properties totaling 167,400 square feet in Orlando and suburban Tampa.

HFF marketed the properties on behalf of the seller.  Global Fund Investments purchased the offering free and clear of existing debt.

The first property in the portfolio, Lake Cay Commons, was built in 2008 and is located at 9930 Universal Boulevard in Orlando.  Lake Cay Commons, which is 56 percent leased, is located less than one mile from the 2.1 million-square-foot Orange County Convention Center, the Rosen Shingle Creek Resort and the University of Central Florida School of Hospitality.

The second property, The Shoppes at Glen Lakes, is located at 9595 Commercial Way in Weeki Wachee, a northern suburb of Tampa.  Also completed in 2008, the property is 76 percent leased.

The HFF team representing the seller was led by senior managing director Brad Peterson along with director Luis Castillo.  

“With the scarcity of Publix-anchored retail properties for sale, it was no surprise that close to 25 offers were received on the properties.  This portfolio presented a rare opportunity to acquire two high-quality Publix grocery-anchored centers with significant upside in a single transaction,” Peterson commented.
