Acworth Commons Trades for $158 per SF

ACWORTH, GA-A California-based investor has acquired the 34,949-sf Acworth Commons shopping center at 3344 Cobb Parkway for $5.5 million, or $158 per sf.

The seller was Atlanta-based Hendon Group LLC, represented by Ed Nutting and Michael Hubley of Marcus & Millichap’s Atlanta office, which marketed and listed the property. David Wells of the firm’s Tampa office represented the buyer, identified only as Acworth Commons LLC.

Wells tells GlobeSt.com that the seller is a developer who seeks to buy a 19-center portfolio and will use the proceeds from Acworth Commons to facilitate that transaction. He adds that the buyer has acquired $70 million in properties over the past few years, mainly in Florida. “This deal was attractive to the buyer because it offers a little higher yield and a better cap rate than properties in Florida,” he says.
