BEL AIR, MD-The 437,000-sf shopping center Festival at Bel Air has gotten a new owner with JBG Rosenfeld Retail’s (JBGR) purchase of the 38-acre property. The acquisition marks JBGR’s first venture beyond the Metropolitan Washington area.

Anchor tenants at the Harford County property include Klein’s Supermarket, Marshall’s and an 85,000-sf Kohl’s department store. Festival, which is sandwiched between Routes 24 and 924, is currently 96% leased. Transwestern Commercial Services represented the seller, an affiliate of the Maryland State Retirement and Pension System that purchased Festival for $43.5 million late in 1993. At that time, the property’s value–land and structure only–was assessed at $29 million.

The parties involved in the current transaction are not releasing the financial terms of the deal, but it is speculated to be one of the biggest retail purchases of 2001. Maryland’s Department of Assessments and Taxation values the property at $32.6 million as of January 1, 2000 and gives it a July 1, 2001 phase-in value of $32.3 million. Dallas, TX-based Trammell Crow Co. began developing Festival at Bel Air in 1988 and completed construction in 1991.
