Iconic retail asset on St. Simon’s Island in Georgia hits the market

ATLANTA, Aug. 7, 2023 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has been exclusively engaged to market for sale Redfern Village, a 49,891-square-foot generational neighborhood retail asset located in the heart of St. Simon’s Island. The property has never been marketed for sale or professionally operated since construction nearly 50 years ago.

Redfern Village is one of the best value-add centers to be marketed for sale in the southeast in decades with 70% of the rent roll schedule to expire over the next 36 months and with gross in-place rents that are 30% to 50% below market. The combination of the immediate value-add opportunities, extremely high barriers to entry and irreplaceable location provides future ownership with the potential to reposition Redfern Village into one of the most iconic coastal shopping destinations throughout the Southeast.

Situated at 296 Redfern Village in St. Simon’s Island, the center is located in the heart Golden Isles, one of the top tourist destinations in the United States with over 3.15 million annual visitors and over $1.7 billion in annual total tourism spending. The center benefits from a highly affluent customer base with an average household income of over $123,924 within a five-mile radius. The property sits proximate to Sea Island Resort, home to two of the top ranked hotels in the world, The Cloister and The Lodge, and three of the top golf courses in the United States at Sea Island Golf Club.
