Investors Projected to Receive +7.5% Annual Returns; Acquire Completes Third Investment in Retail Sector
Acquire Real Estate, a leading real estate crowd investing platform, recently partnered with Katz Properties to provide an investment opportunity in Pompano Marketplace, a 238,800 SF fully occupied retail center located in Pompano Beach, Florida.
Acquire Real Estate pre-funded a $369,000 investment in the property, a $52-million retail center fully occupied by Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market, Stein Mart, Beall’s Outlet Store and Ross Dress for Less. Acquire investors are projected to receive average annual returns of between 7 and 8 percent paid quarterly over a 5- to 10-year term.
“Acquire pursues stable, income-producing investment opportunities managed by top national Sponsors,” said Steven Bettinger, CEO of Acquire Real Estate. “In Pompano Marketplace we found exactly that, and were able to offer a smart long-term investment to our Members.”
Katz Properties, a full-service real estate investment company, purchased Pompano Marketplace in March of 2015 for $46.8 million. The company primarily focuses on the acquisition and operation of grocery-anchored shopping centers and currently has under management more than 3.2 million square feet of commercial property.
Pompano Marketplace is a popular community shopping center located along Florida’s South Federal Highway. Investors were drawn to the strong-performing center due to its mix of anchor, restaurant and shop tenants as well as its location in the highly developed South Florida market. Anchor tenant Wal-Mart, whose lease runs through 2026, achieves over $35 million in sales at the property each year, making Pompano Marketplace one of the strongest-performing shopping centers in the area.
Acquire has a track record of crowdfunding success with strong-performing retail centers including investments in Sunshine Plaza in Tamarac, Florida and Middlebury Commons in Middlebury, Vermont. The company also recently closed its first hotel offering—the DoubleTree by Hilton Dallas-Fort Worth Airport—and is currently offering an investment opportunity in Randhurst Village, a Class A lifestyle center in Mount Prospect, Illinois and one of the largest crowd investing projects in the Midwest.
Acquire’s platform features a collection of income-producing properties from top sponsors that are first pre-screened and then pre-funded by Acquire. By pre-funding its share of deals with its own capital, Acquire aligns its interests with its investors and eliminates funding risk to its Sponsors.
