Philadelphia riverfront shopping center sold


 Chris Munley 
PHILADELPHIA, PA  JLL Capital Markets announced it has closed the sale of Columbus Crossing, a 140,418-square-foot, fully leased, open-air, infill, riverfront shopping center positioned on Columbus Boulevard in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

JLL marketed the property on behalf of the seller.  Paramount Realty Services purchased the asset.

Columbus Crossing is anchored and leased by some of the strongest retailers in the marketplace, including T.J. Maxx, Homegoods, Ulta Beauty, Planet Fitness, Chipotle and AT&T.

Additionally, the asset is shadow anchored by both a high-volume Walmart and Home Depot, two of the most dominant retailers in the United States, which facilitate major traffic into the shopping center.

The property is located along South Christopher Columbus Boulevard on the south-east section of Philadelphia, supported by and drawing from the most affluent and gentrifying communities in Philadelphia, including Society Hill, Old City, Queen Village and Northern Liberties.

Furthermore, the Columbus Crossing is positioned within the path of growth of Philadelphia’s riverfront revitalization.

 The Delaware River Waterfront Corporation is closing in on the execution of its master plan that was adopted by the Philadelphia Planning Commission in 2012, with significant projects being proposed, underway and fully delivered totaling over $1 billion in planned investment along the corridor.

The JLL Retail Capital Markets team representing the seller was led by Senior Managing Directors Chris Munley and Jim Galbally and Senior Director Colin Behr.

“Columbus Crossing offered an extremely rare opportunity to acquire scarce and irreplaceable, riverfront real estate within the City of Philadelphia,” Munley said. 

“Demand for the asset was high, in most part due to the intrinsic value of the underlying real estate and the value-add potential if held long term.

“We are very fortunate to have worked with Paramount Realty Services on this transaction and have immense gratitude for the efforts and professionalism in bringing the deal to a close in a very challenging climate,” Munley continued. “We believe they will do exceptionally well with the asset.”
