"There are incremental value-added opportunities in virtually all of the centers, in the form of lease-up of vacant space, outparcel development, the potential expansion of the several of the anchored tenants and, in certain centers, there are some below-market leases that we expect to roll to market rents when those leases are over," Adam Ifshin, DLC's president, tells GlobeSt.com. "It's a nice upside story across the board."
The Southeast portfolio includes: Brookwood Village in Atlanta; Cobb Center in Smyrna, GA; Greystone Village in Raleigh, NC; Highland Square in Jacksonville, FL; North Pointe in Columbia, SC; Peachtree Parkway Plaza in Norcross, GA; and Poplar Springs Plaza in Duncan, SC.
