Grocery-anchored retail center in Jacksonville trades

MIAMI, July 1, 2021 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has closed the sale of St. John’s Town Center North, a fully leased, 113,139-square-foot, dominant shopping center anchored by Publix and Total Wine & More in Jacksonville, Florida.

JLL represented the seller, the core portfolio of American Realty Advisors, LLC. An affiliate of Core Investment Management acquired the property.

St. John’s Town Center North is situated on 14.19 acres at 4413-4507 Town Center Parkway North adjacent to St. John’s Town Center. The property has easy accessibility to Interstate 295 along with premium frontage and visibility along Town Center Parkway North, exposing the center to more than 44,000 vehicles a day. The dominant center is surrounded by a growing affluent customer base of 556,654 residents within a 10-mile radius, and the immediate surrounding area has seen explosive growth with more than 6,880 residential units added since 2013.

Constructed between 2006 and 2007, St. John’s Town Center North is fully leased to anchors Publix, the most sought-after grocery anchor in the Southeast, and Total Wine & More, along with a carefully curated line-up of national and regional retailers, restaurants, and service providers, including Aveda, Five Guys Burgers and Fries, Weight Watchers, Pearle Vision, Hotworx and Sports Clips. The center also has three outparcel pads occupied by a Tropea Dental Care, 145-degree Seafood Boil and a national bank.

The JLL Capital Markets Investment Sales Advisory team that represented the seller was led by Senior Managing Director Danny Finkle and Senior Director Eric Williams.

“St. John’s Town Center North is a unique asset, given its combination of strong traffic generating anchors in Publix and Total Wine, a number of highly desirable small shop tenants and a prime location within one of the Southeast’s strongest retail submarkets,” Finkle said. “Grocery-anchored centers of this scale and quality are rare, and St. John’s Town Center North was a coveted acquisition opportunity.”
