CHARLOTTE, NC-In a bold move across three states, Inland Real Estate Acquisitions has snapped up a slew of retail properties for a combined $80.6 million. The properties span Florida, Georgia and North Carolina.

“We believe that these stabilized retail centers, leased to national credit tenants, complement our existing retail portfolio,” says Barry Lazarus, president and COO of Inland Diversified. “The purchase of Perimeter Woods, our second in Charlotte, demonstrates our confidence in the market, and we believe the Walgreens-anchored centers offer the stability of a leading necessity-based retailer.”

About $54 million went toward the acquisition of Perimeter Woods Shopping Center in Charlotte, NC. Matt Tice, vice president of Inland Real Estate Acquisitions, facilitated the purchase of the 303,353-square-foot Perimeter Woods, which is anchored by Lowe’s and Best Buy. Perimeter Woods was about 97% leased at closing. PetSmart, Off Broadway Shoes and Office Max are also tenants.
