Suburban Atlanta retail center anchored by Best Buy sells
JLL Capital Markets completed the $8.7M sale of the fully leased Westbrook Plaza in Gainesville, Georgia
ATLANTA, Dec. 16, 2021 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has closed the $8.7 million sale of Westbrook Plaza, a fully leased, 49,364-square-foot retail center anchored by Best Buy in the Atlanta-area community of Gainesville, Georgia.
JLL represented the seller, Bridge33 Capital. Collett Capital acquired the asset.
Constructed in 2006, Westbrook Plaza is home to a diverse and established national tenant lineup that includes Best Buy, Burn Boot Camp, Mattress Firm, WNB Factory, Pazzi’s Pizza, Paris Nails and Pet Pleasers Bakery. The property is located at 668 Dawsonville Hwy., in Gainesville, a northeastern Atlanta suburb. Westbrook Plaza is located less than 1 mile from Lake Lanier, an area demand driver that attracts over millions of visitors and provides an annual economic impact of over $5.5 billion.
The JLL Retail Capital Markets Investment Sales and Advisory team that represented the seller was led by Senior Managing Director Jim Hamilton, Senior Director Brad Buchanan and Associate Andrew Michols.
“Our team continues to see robust demand for high-quality retail assets throughout the Southeast,” Buchanan said. “Westbrook Plaza received significant interest from the investment community due to the property’s well-tenured rent roll, extended trade area and strategic location directly adjacent to Lake Lanier, one of the Southeast’s largest recreational lakes with over 11 million annual visitors.”
