For example, Columbus-based Nationwide Mutual Insurance Co. just sold the Southport Plaza shopping center to Woodbury, NY-based Realty Resource Capital Corp. for $11.4 million.

Built in 1999, the 85,062-square-foot class A power shopping center sits on 6.5 acres at 7565 S. US Hwy. 31 in Indianapolis. Cassidy Turley senior vice president and land division manager Jacque Haynes and senior managing director Bill French represented the seller.

The shopping center had hosted a Borders but Shoe Carnival now acts as an anchor.
