“With a 99% occupancy rate and strong tenant base, Mesa Ranch Plaza represents a strategic investment opportunity, in one of the most sought-after retail markets in the US,” said Mr. Kozakov. “Our client’s capital investments have transformed this property into a high performing and stabilized asset.”
Mesa Ranch Plaza is located at 1008, 1036, 1060, and 1142 E. Southern Ave. It is shadow-anchored by a prominent Hispanic grocer and includes a variety of local, regional, and national tenants that offering services such as grocery, fashion, financial, discount, healthcare, soft-good, restaurant, and medical.
The surrounding area features well-established apartment and single-family home communities. Within a 3-mile radius of the retail complex, there are nearly 160,000 residents, with an average household income exceeding $85,500. The local population is projected to grow at an annual rate of 1.24% over the next five years.
“Our team marketed Mesa Ranch Plaza in 2021 when it was acquired by SimonCRE,” said Mr. Wade. “Following significant capital investments that secured several new, long-term leases, the firm entrusted us with the listing once again, this time to secure a qualified buyer. Prior to the selection of the ultimate buyer, the team’s marketing program resulted in over 10,000 views and 17 offers.”
