In addition to the Atlantic Ave. property, the sold portfolio included the Saint Clairsville Plaza shopping center in Saint Clairsville, OH; a Bradley Sq. mixed-use office and medical services property in Milwaukee; a Cabool Center neighborhood retail center in Cabool, MO; a Dunkin Donuts building in Gary, IN; Lafayette Center shopping mall in Indianapolis; a Family Dollar property in Danville, VA; and the Oglethorpe Plaza shopping center in Albany, GA.

“Following the latest disposition of eight properties, Gorjian Acquisitions is actively pursuing new acquisition opportunities around the country, with a focus on shopping centers, malls, and single-tenant net lease (STNL) properties as well as medical, office, and multi-family buildings with a capitalization rate on existing income above 9%,” said Gorjian. “Within the New York Metro area, we are targeting the same types of assets with a stabilized cap rate above 7%.”
