Anne Perrault

TULSA, OK, Jan. 6, 2023 – Northmarq, one of commercial real estate’s leading investment sakes brokerage firms, has completed the sale of the Shops at Tanger Parkway, a 15,600 sq. ft. multi-tenant retail center located at 240 Tanger Outlets Blvd in Pooler, Georgia.

The Savannah MSA development was 100 percent leased to eight tenants with excellent performance indicators at the time of the sale.

David Annett and Anne Perrault of Northmarq’s Tulsa office represented the seller, a Utah-based developer. The buyer, a private equity firm based in Mexico City, was represented by Mark Lovering of Northmarq’s Chicago office.

“We have been involved in this deal since pre-development stages, bringing the equity to the developer to construct the asset, followed by the ultimate consummation of the sale upon stabilization,” said Annett.

David Annett 

“The Shops at Tanger Parkway is a trophy asset that’s located front and center of the Tanger Outlets Mall --- an 800K shopping center that boasts over 4.5 million annual visits,” explained Lovering.

 

Built in 2020, the property is strategically positioned along the Pooler Parkway frontage road, offering major road access to all national retailers in the trade area.

Mark Lovering

Major tenants of the retail strip include Tropical Smoothie Café, Tin Drum Asian Kitchen, LAX, T-Swirl Crepe, Wayback Burgers, Which Wich?, America’s Best Contacts & Glasses, and Pita Mediterranean Street Food.

 

“Our marketing produced a very competitive bidding environment – we started with approximately 10 letters of intent and were ultimately able to produce great value for the seller while selecting a buyer who had a solid resume,” said Perrault.

“The capabilities of the buyer and his commitment to the transaction turned out to be critical down the stretch.

 

I appreciated collaborating with Mark to produce a great outcome for our clients.”

The center sold for $7.3 million reflecting a cap rate in the high-6’s on the current NOI.

 

“Due to strength of the underlying real estate and long-term leases, the buyer was able to secure accretive financing despite the choppy environment in the capital markets,” added Lovering.

 

“All in all, this was a win-win for the seller & the buyer, and sourcing this deal internally illustrates the benefits of the Northmarq platform.”

JLL Capital Markets closes sale of the 46,704-square-foot, high-performing South Bank retail asset on San Antonio River Walk to a former owner.

 

 Erin Lazarus 

DALLAS, TX – JLL Capital Markets  has closed the sale of South Bank, a 46,704-square-foot, high-performing retail asset located on the world-renowned San Antonio River Walk, the top tourism attraction in the state of Texas.

 

The price was not disclosed.

 

JLL marketed the property on behalf of the seller, and Fifth Corner acquired the asset. Fifth Corner’s predecessor, AMREIT, formerly owned this property from 2005 to 2015.

Megan Babovec

The JLL Retail Capital Markets Investment Sales and Advisory team that represented the seller was led by Senior Managing Directors Chris Gerard, Ryan West and Barry Brown and Associate Erin Lazarus and Megan Babovec.

 

“After more than a decade of operating experience with South Bank on the San Antonio River Walk, we will maximize the value of this Irreplaceable Corner™ and make this stalwart even better,” said Tenel Tayar, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Fifth Corner.

Tenel Tayar

 “Our predecessor to Fifth Corner, AmREIT, acquired the property in 2005 and owned and operated it until the company sold in 2015. South Bank embodies the characteristics of an Irreplaceable Corner^TM with its extremely high barriers to entry, strong tenant demand, and connection to the community. 

Chris Gerard

"We are thrilled to own South Bank again and look forward to implementing our Fifth Corner initiatives.”

 

This trade is significant as only one River Walk retail asset transaction has occurred over the last five years, and only six individual retail assets have traded since 2005.

 

Featuring a strong mix of food and beverage and local and national retailers, the property caters to the over 11 million visitors to the River Walk annually. 

 

 South Bank generates total commerce of over $22 million, the center is 100% occupied and boasts an average tenant tenure of 20.1 years.

Ryan West

Original tenants include Hard Rock Café, The County Line Bar-B-Q, Paesanos, Cowboy’s Alamo City Harley-Davidson, Ben & Jerry’s and Howl at the Moon.

 

Recent additions include Merkaba, a live-music sister concept to Howl at the Moon, and Fat Tuesday, which has returned to its original South Bank location after 17 years.

 

Situated at 111 W Crockett St., South Bank is set within a highly coveted retail micro-market. The tenants have access to a San Antonio’s large population of 2.6 million, as well as the approximately 37 million tourists that visit the city annually.

 

Additionally, the location of the asset benefits from the 16,877 total hotel rooms within a five-mile radius.

South Bank is also supported by incredibly strong fundamentals driven by high retailer demand and development restrictions established by the RIO-3 zoning that was implemented in 2002 to protect, preserve and enhance the San Antonio River.
