Brixmor Property Group Announces Fourth Quarter 2016 Acquisition And Disposition Activity

On December 21, 2016, the Company acquired Felicita Town Center, a 127,000 square foot open-air shopping center located in Escondido, California (San Diego MSA), for $40.1 million. Felicita Town Center is anchored by a newly expanded and highly productive Trader Joe's, in addition to Major Market and Rite Aid, with total occupancy of 95% and small shop occupancy of 88%. 

"The acquisition of Felicita Town Center, which is directly across the street from our Felicita Plaza property, establishes a dominant position for Brixmor in a very attractive submarket of Escondido, California. On a combined basis, the Company will now own the majority of grocers and approximately 80% of the small shop space in this dense, high-income trade area," commented Mark Horgan, Executive Vice President, Chief Investment Officer.  "Felicita Town Center not only presents a compelling growth opportunity given in-place rents, it also furthers our long-term strategy of building critical mass in highly productive retail corridors."

In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company completed the sale of three properties for gross proceeds of approximately $75 million. 

• On November 3, 2016, the Company completed the disposition of Plymouth Plaza, a 30,000 square foot office building in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania, for $4.3 million.
