JLL Income Property Trust Completes Retail Acquisition in Kahului, Hawaii

January 13, 2016 — Chicago

JLL Income Property Trust, an institutionally-managed, non-listed, daily valued perpetual life REIT (NASDAQ: ZIPTAX; ZIPTMX; ZIPIAX; ZIPIMX), today announced it acquired Maui Mall, a grocery-anchored retail center located in Kahului, Hawaii on the island of Maui. The recently expanded 235,000-square-foot center is 91% leased and anchored by Whole Foods, Longs Drugs (CVS), Regal Cinemas, and TJ Maxx.

Maui Mall is centrally located in Kahului, Maui’s largest retail trade area and the population center of the island. Situated at the intersection of Kaahumanu and Puunene Avenues, the center is easily accessible to local residents as well as visitors arriving from the nearby Kahului Airport. The Kahului Harbor is located across the street from the center, which creates substantial traffic from docked cruise ships.

“This acquisition reflects our strategy to increase our portfolio’s exposure to high-quality, grocery-anchored centers in top national retail markets,” commented Allan Swaringen, President and CEO of JLL Income Property Trust. “Maui Mall is our sixth new acquisition in the grocery-anchored retail format and the property’s strategic location and compelling tenant mix combined with a high-performing grocery store should provide the fundamentals to sustain the property’s long-term performance,” added Swaringen.

Throughout it’s over 40-year history, Maui Mall has served as a gathering place for people to shop, dine and play. The seller, a venture including Alberta Development Partners, recently began upgrading the center and has already begun to see the benefit as a number of new tenants, including Max’s Restaurant, TJ Maxx and Pure Barre, have signed leases. JLL Income Property Trust intends to continue the common area improvement program under its ownership and has a long-term vision of enhancing Maui Mall’s unique sense of community that has allowed it to thrive.

TJ Maxx, which opened in the summer of 2015, has been very well received. TJ Maxx cited the demographic of the population surrounding the center as its primary reason for choosing the location to open its first store on Maui. “In general, when we open new stores, we look for areas with the right mix of demographics, which can include families with children, home ownership, thriving retail areas, and areas where shoppers are fashion-conscious, yet value-conscious,” said Brittany Farrell, real estate spokesperson for TJ Maxx.

In 2015, Pure Barre opened its first location in Hawaii at Maui Mall, quickly becoming popular with both locals and visitors. In December, Max’s Restaurant opened its doors at the center, marking the fast-casual restaurant’s first venture onto Maui. Owner Ernie Abarro, who also owns the IHOP at the mall, says the Maui Mall is the ideal location for his 4,200-square-foot restaurant. He said the improvements Alberta Development Partners has made to the mall have made it more attractive to anchor tenants like Regal Cinemas Maui Megaplex 12, Whole Foods and Longs Drugs, which is renovating both the interior and exterior of its space. “They really cleaned it up,” Abarro said. “And there’s plenty of parking.”

“We are looking forward to working with new ownership to complete the center’s renovation plans and to expand its merchandise offerings with new leasing opportunities for both local and national retailers,” commented Rosalind Schurgin, CEO of The Festival Companies, the management company for Maui Mall.
