Brad Peterson

ORLANDO, FL – HFF announced today that it has closed the sale of the Shoppes at Paradise Isle, a 171,837-square-foot retail power center in Destin, Florida.

               HFF marketed the property on behalf of the seller, Weingarten Realty Investors.  Stoltz Real Estate Partners’ fifth, U.S. diversified fund, which is currently investing capital, purchased the asset for $32.8 million free and clear of existing debt.

               The Shoppes at Paradise Isle is situated on 17.7 acres at 34940 Emerald Coast Parkway at the 17-lane intersection of US Highway 98 and Mid-Bay Bridge Road, the epicenter of the most dominant retail trade area between Pensacola and Panama City. 

Completed in 2005, the property is 89.7 percent leased and anchored by Best Buy, Big Lots, Michaels, PetSmart, Ulta and Office Depot.

               The HFF investment sales team representing the seller was led by senior managing director Brad Peterson and associate director Whitaker Leonhardt.

               “It is no exaggeration to say that the intersection of the Emerald Coast Parkway and the Mid-Bay Bridge is the best retail intersection in 40 miles,” Peterson said. 

“Destin’s economy is booming, and retailers are clamoring for the few remaining spaces that are available in the area.  Shoppes at Paradise Isle is one of the hallmark retail assets in the Florida Panhandle, so it is no surprise that it received very strong interest from the investment community.”
