Arrow Real Estate Advisors secures acquisition financing for Kings Auto Mall Shopping Center

Cincinnati, OH Arrow Real Estate Advisors, a leading real estate finance advisory firm, has successfully arranged the acquisition financing for Kings Auto Mall Shopping Center, a 70,000 s.f open-air retail center located at 9966 Kings Auto Mall Rd. The property sits within one of the region’s most active commercial corridors, directly adjacent to the Kings Auto Mall, the largest auto dealership hub in the Midwest. Arrow Real Estate Advisors’ Morris Betesh, founder and managing partner, Jack McPhail, senior vice president, and Alex Ellman, senior associate, arranged the financing.

Kings Auto Mall Shopping Center features a diverse mix of national and regional tenants across grocery, fitness, healthcare, and discount retail categories. Currently over 90% leased, the center benefits from a stable, long-term tenant base, robust daily traffic, and demand generated by the surrounding retail and auto dealership density. 

“This transaction highlights the continued appetite among lenders for well-located, necessity-based retail assets in high-traffic suburban corridors,” said Betesh, founder and managing partner of Arrow Real Estate Advisors. “Kings Mall is uniquely positioned in a market that continues to benefit from demographic strength and long-term economic momentum.”

Located off Interstate 71 in northeastern Cincinnati, the property enjoys  visibility and accessibility via both highway and arterial routes. The broader Deerfield Township and Mason submarkets have seen sustained residential growth and remain attractive to both retailers and real estate investors seeking durable suburban opportunities.

Arrow delivered a non-recourse financing solution that not only meets near-term objectives but also preserves optionality for future growth and repositioning.
