ShopOne Centers REIT Inc. (“ShopOne”), together with its joint venture partners Pantheon and a leading global institutional investor, today announced the acquisition of two grocery-anchored shopping centers in Florida: Midway Plaza in Miami-Fort Lauderdale and Lithia Square in Tampa. The properties were acquired in two independent transactions, and bring the number of grocery-anchored, necessity-based shopping centers in the JV’s Florida portfolio to four.

“We are very pleased to acquire two grocery-anchored shopping centers in Florida with such strong upside potential,” stated Chris Reed, CEO of ShopOne. “Florida has been and will continue to be among the country’s most popular states for families and transplants alike given it’s robust job growth, moderate climate and tax-friendly environment. These two assets provide us with a unique opportunity to capitalize on these fundamentals and, by strengthening their underlying performance and merchandising mix, generate significant value for the community and our investors alike.”

The 218,400 square-foot, 84% occupied Midway Plaza is anchored by Publix and is located in Tamarac, Broward County’s third most populous community. The center serves a densely populated trade area with an estimated 85,000 and 187,000 people residing within a two- and three-mile radius, respectively. Midway Plaza will also benefit from its proximity to multiple new residential developments, including over 1,600 units planned or under construction. The property’s anchor tenants – Publix and Ross Dress for Less – have operated at the center for over 35 years and continue to generate strong sales and high repeat traffic.

The Walmart-anchored 79% occupied 69,007 square-foot Lithia Square is located in Brandon, a vibrant and growing community located southeast of Tampa. ShopOne anticipates executing on a series of strategic leasing upgrades, exterior renovations and other improvements to unlock the property’s significant upside. Lithia Square serves a trade area of approximately 101,000 people within a three-mile radius with an average household income of $115,000.

The acquisitions of Midway Plaza and Lithia Square increase the number of grocery-anchored shopping centers in the JV’s portfolio to 17 totaling more than 1.8 million square feet.
