SOUTH PLAINFIELD, NJ–HFF has closed the sale of Oak Park Commons, a 136,939-square-foot, grocery-anchored retail center in South Plainfield, to WP Realty, which is based in Pennsylvania.

HFF marketed the property on behalf of the seller, identified only as an institutional investor advised by PNC Realty Investors. WP Realty Inc. purchased the property for an undisclosed amount free and clear of debt.

The HFF investment sales team representing the seller was led by senior managing directors Jose Cruz and Andrew Scandalios, managing directors Kevin O’Hearn and Jeffrey Julien and associate director Michael Oliver.
