October 11, 2016 — Chicago
JLL Income Property Trust, an institutionally managed, daily valued perpetual life REIT (NASDAQ: ZIPTAX; ZIPTMX; ZIPIAX; ZIPIMX), today announced the acquisition of Kierland Village Center, a 118,000 square-foot retail center anchored by leading national grocer Safeway. The property is located in the affluent Phoenix suburb of Scottsdale, Arizona featuring a complementary mix of necessity and service-based tenants. The purchase price was approximately $34.5 million.
The city of Scottsdale is a thriving community that has seen a nearly 10 percent increase in population since 2000 and is projected to grow at twice the national rate through 2020. With median household incomes among the highest in the nation, the city also boasts a highly-educated population with 46 percent of individuals 25 and older having at least a bachelor’s degree, significantly higher than the state and national averages.
Located in Scottsdale at the southeast corner of 64th Street and Greenway Road, Kierland Village Center is a grocery/drug-anchored shopping center within the affluent and established Kierland master-planned residential and resort area. In addition to Safeway, Kierland Village Center tenants include other national retailers such as Walgreens, Baskin Robbins, Einstein Brothers, Panda Express, Pizza Hut, Subway and The UPS Store.
