The JLL retail capital markets team representing the seller was led by senior managing directors Chris Munley, James Galbally and Jose Cruz and senior director Colin Behr. The JLL capital markets debt placement team representing the new ownership included senior managing director Ryan Ade.

"There has been a steady increase in investor demand for grocery-anchored product within the Greater Philadelphia marketplace, resulting in correlating cap-rate compression since the start of 2019," JLL's Munley says. "With the steady flow of new capital JLL has witnessed entering the retail investment market, we anticipate that to continue into 2020."

He adds, "The complementary nature of the tenant roster, highlighted by Aldi, Planet Fitness and Dollar Tree, drove both investor interest and pricing during the sales process."
