ATLANTA-Cassidy Turley’s recently-formed full-service Southeast Retail Group is seeing plenty of action. The group is the fruit of Cassidy Turley’s September acquisition of Carter’s brokerage and property management business.

The team has inked several large deals, including the sale of three Publix-anchored centers as well as a Kohl’s-anchored shopping center. JDH Capital hired the firm to exclusively handle leasing for its seven-center, 300,000-square-foot greater Atlanta shopping center portfolio.

“Atlanta attracts more attention than any other market in the Southeast for obvious reasons,” Drew Fleming, vice president and principal of Cassidy Turley, tells GlobeSt.com. “But the port cities, Charleston and Savannah, have good economic fundamentals. The Southeast as a whole is a more attractive area for investors across the country because the yields have been traditionally higher, even for A grade properties.”
