NEW HYDE PARK, NY-Kimco Realty Corp. has more than $200 million in shopping center acquisitions pending across the country, as well as a $711-million development pipeline of 24 centers and $270 million in redevelopments on tap. That activity follows the $276.8-million purchase in interests in centers during the REIT's latest financial quarter, which ended June 30.

Among its acquisitions during the quarter, Kimco bought a 25% interest in the $123.2-million Fremont (CA) Hub center, paid $85.3 million for 45 net-leased properties and spent $38.1 million on interests in five centers in Mexico. Additionally, Kimco sold 19 properties during the quarter for $138.4 million.

One of the properties in Kimco's development pipeline is the District at Tustin (CA) Legacy, a 1.1-million-sf lifestyle and power center the company is building with Phoenix-based Vestar Development Co. Costco, Lowe's, TJ Maxx, Target and Whole Foods are among the retailers committed to that project.
