We were following a strip mall, retail shopping center being rebuilt back in 2014. The first phase of that commercial properties development project was being constructed neighboring to the Target anchored Florida shopping center on U.S. 98 North in Lakeland.
The Florida commercial property news shows that the Retail Centers of America has purchased the North Lakeland Plaza. This was the transaction facilitated by The Shopping Center Group. These commercial properties were fully leased in the 171,500 square-foot retail center. This retail shopping center was sold by a Michigan based publicly traded (REIT) real estate investment trust Agree Realty. At this time the sale price for the commercial properties was not disclosed.
Retail Centers of America is known as American Realty Capital-Retail Centers of America, Incorporated. This “ARC-Retail Centers” operates as the publicly registered, non-traded real estate investment trust (REIT). This REIT has a main emphasis to apply their attention on the acquisition of core retail commercial properties. These commercial property investments are comprised of lifestyle centers, power centers and large needs-based shopping centers.
