Cooper, Caldwell, Wojciechowski and Zatloukal of Jones Lang LaSalle close $40.2 million sale
August 22, 2011 - Long Island
According to Jones Lang LaSalle's Capital Markets experts, the firm has closed the sale of Huntington Square Plaza for a group of tenant-in-common investors sponsored by Oak Brook, Ill.-based Inland Private Capital Corp. The shopping center is anchored by grocery store, Stop & Shop. Toronto-based RioCan Holdings purchased the class A, 116,221 s/f center for $40.2 million. The property is long-term leased and 100% occupied by Stop & Shop, and Best Buy.
Leading the Jones Lang LaSalle team on this transaction was managing directors Kris Cooper, Margaret Caldwell, Dave Wojciechowski and associate Dan Zatloukal.
"Huntington Square Plaza received a great deal of interest from the institutional investment community as it offered a core asset in a prime location with limited supply and high barriers to entry," said Cooper. "In particular, we secured a significant amount of attention from Canadian investors. RioCan Holdings was attracted by the long-term security of two such high quality, investment-grade tenants."
Huntington Square Plaza is located along the retail corridor of East Jericho Turnpike/NY 25, a major east-west artery that begins in Midtown, Manhattan and spans Long Island. The property has strong demographics with a population of 76,355 and an average household income of $128,218 within a three-mile radius.
