Weingarten Sells 221,346-SF E. Little York Retail Center

HOUSTON-Houston-based Weingarten Realty Investors has sold another shopping center in an ongoing disposition program.

In the latest deal, Weingarten hawked its 221,346-sf 45 York Plaza at 300 E. Little York in the Houston’s northwest submarket. No one’s identifying the investor buyer or talking about the selling price. But, it did carry a $6.8-million price tag. The 80%-occupied center’s tenant roster includes Food Town, Good Will Superstore, Giant Mart, Family Dollar and Hollywood Video.

George Cushing, senior vice president of Grubb & Ellis Co.’s Houston office, tells GlobeSt.com that 45 York Plaza is the fifth center this year that Weingarten’s sold. In October, the hometown REIT sold Mid County Shopping Center, a 107,000-sf shopping center in Nederland, TX, and the 37,000-sf Northwest Park Plaza at the intersection of W. Montgomery Road and Bammel North in northwest Houston. In September, Weingarten relinquished the 26,000-sf Wilcrest Shopping Center. The first sale of the year came in February with the Bellwood Shopping Center, a 136,000-sf center at Bellair and Kirkwood in Houston.
