Albany Square retail power center, 2707 Dawson Road, Albany, GA

ORLANDO, FL - HFF announced today that it has closed the sale of Albany Square, a 125,038-square-foot retail power center in Albany, Georgia.

Brad Peterson
               HFF marketed the property on behalf of the seller, Equity Investment Group.  Cole Credit Property Trust IV, Inc., a real estate investment trust affiliated with American Realty Capital Properties, Inc., purchased the asset for $9.7 million free and clear of existing debt.

               Albany Square is located at 2707 Dawson Road in Albany and was completely renovated in 2013.  The property is 97.6 percent leased to tenants including Hobby Lobby, PetSmart and Party City. 

               The HFF investment sales team representing the seller was led by senior managing director Brad Peterson and senior financial analyst Whitaker Leonhardt in HFF’s Orlando office.

Peterson noted, “Albany Square is located at the epicenter of the most dominant retail trade area in southwest Georgia.  Albany Square is adjacent to a successful Publix Supermarkets and Target and directly across the street from the Albany Mall. 

“With the recent addition of a new Petsmart and Party City to the retail center, combined with recent capital improvements, it feels like a brand new center.”
