CHICAGO, August 24, 2021 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has closed the sale of Warren Plaza, an approximately 91,588-square-foot retail center anchored by Hy-Vee in Dubuque, Iowa.

JLL marketed the property on behalf of the seller, The DESCO Group. A private investment fund based in the midwest purchased the asset.

Warren Plaza is anchored by Hy-Vee, the No. 1 grocer by market share in Iowa, and home to a dominant lineup of diverse national and regional tenants, including UPS, SuperCuts, Jersey Mikes, Miracle Ear, Grand River Medical Group and OneMain Financial. The center also features a Target shadow anchor and non-owned Chick-fil-A. Completed in 1979, the center expanded the Hy-Vee store in 1994 and 2013.

The property is located at 3500 Dodge St. on the southeast corner of Dodge Street (U.S. Highway 20) and Wacker Drive along the main retail corridor in Dubuque, a suburban community in the tri-state MSA that encompasses eastern Iowa, northwestern Illinois and southwestern Wisconsin. Customers can easily access Warren Plaza via signalized entry. The center pulls from a trade area that includes nearly 73,539 residents with an average annual household income of $73,587 living within a five-mile radius.
