JLL Income Property Trust, an institutionally managed, daily NAV REIT (NASDAQ: ZIPTAX; ZIPTMX; ZIPIAX; ZIPIMX) with approximately $7 billion in portfolio equity and debt investments, announced today the acquisition of Westbury Square, a community retail center in an established submarket of Huntsville, AL, for a purchase price of approximately $32 million.
The center totals approximately 115,000 square feet and is 100% leased to a diverse mix of retail tenants, including two national, value-driven retailers, with a weighted average lease term of six years. Located in the well-established South Huntsville submarket, the property is situated on a main thoroughfare near several neighborhood amenities such as hospitals, parks and schools which drive traffic to the center, with convenient access by both eastbound and westbound traffic. Huntsville, with continued economic development in the aerospace, defense and advanced manufacturing industries, has become an economic engine for north Alabama and the broader region. The region boasts a combination of affordable living, quality education, and high paying jobs which continues to attract new residents.
“Westbury Square is a strategic addition to our retail portfolio,” said Allan Swaringen, President and CEO of JLL Income Property Trust. “As core real estate investors, we target retail centers with strong demographics, favorable operating fundamentals and credit-worthy tenant lineups. Westbury Square has a strong tenant roster with impressive tenure and is well-positioned in a submarket with limited vacancy, making it an attractive investment for us.”
Retail real estate has been a mainstay in the JLL Income Property Trust portfolio since its inception in 2012. As of November 30, 2025, retail investments comprised 12% of the total $7 billion portfolio, with $765 million in assets across 15 retail properties.
