The portfolio is 100 percent leased and consists of more
than 100 diverse tenants including nationally recognized retailers and
businesses such as Banana Republic, The Gap, Old Navy, Victoria’s Secret, Bank
of America, Wells Fargo, Citibank, Morgan Stanley and Fidelity, as well as some
of Fairfield’s top dining and entertaining establishments.
Two of the properties (Fairfield Center and Brick Walk) are
high-street retail assets located downtown along the Post Road Corridor, while
the other (Black Rock) is located at one of the busiest intersections in
Fairfield with a highly dense population of 120,000 people within three miles
of the property.
Each property provides convenient access to the densely
populated and high income neighborhoods in the area, major highways serving
Fairfield, Fairfield University’s faculty and students, and the Fairfield Metro
North Station that connects to Manhattan’s Grand Central Station one hour away.

The
HFF team representing Kleban Properties was led by managing director Rob
Rizzi and associate director Rob Hinckley.
“These
properties represent some of the best located and mostly highly sought after in
the suburban New York market, most of which have been owned and/or developed by
Kleban for more than 50 years,” said Rizzi. “This was a generational
opportunity, and while only offered to a highly targeted “off market” group of
investors coordinated between HFF and Kleban, there was tremendous interest.”

Rizzi added, “The relationship between Kleban and Regency
clicked almost immediately, which greatly contributed to Regency’s selection as
a venture partner, and was strengthened through the complex acquisition process
setting the ground work for what we believe will be a very successful
partnership.”
