DAVIS, CA-Regency Centers has closed on the acquisition of Oak Shade Town Center, a 103,762-square-foot neighborhood shopping center anchored by Safeway, Rite Aid and OfficeMax in Davis, CA. The property was purchased for $35 million from the center’s original owner.

Built in 1998, Oak Shade Town Center is anchored by a 40,000-square-foot Safeway, which is the top sales-producing grocer in the market, according to a prepared release. It is also anchored by “the city’s only full-service office supply store” OfficeMax, 21,000 square feet, and a 17,522-square-foot Rite Aid with the area’s only pharmacy drive-through, according to a prepared statement.

The 95% leased center also features Round Table Pizza, Bank of America, Great Clips and AT&T Cellular. The center is located within a mile of the University of California, Davis and the El Macero Country Club.

“Oak Shade Town Center is one of only five grocery-anchored centers in Davis, and one of only two serving the south side of Interstate 80,” explains TR Gregory, head of Western acquisitions/dispositions with Regency Centers. “This infill center’s market position is further strengthened by the City’s stringent growth control ordinances which limit future retail development, making this a desirable acquisition for Regency.”

“Regency continues to pursue premier grocery-anchored infill centers with market-dominant anchors and superior demographics in major markets across the country,” Gregory adds. As of June 30, 2011, Regency owned 367 retail properties, including those held in co-investment partnerships. Including tenant-owned square footage, the portfolio encompassed 50.1 million square feet throughout the US. Since 2000, Regency has developed 205 shopping centers, including those currently in-process, representing an investment at completion of $3 billion.
