JLL Income Property Trust Acquires Tuscaloosa Alabama Shopping Center
August 27, 2026
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 the acquisition of Midtown Village, a retail shopping center in Tuscaloosa, Alabama for a purchase price of approximately $94 million.
The property is an open-air retail center totaling approximately 345,000 square feet and is leased to a mix of seasoned necessity anchor tenants as well as complementary apparel, food, and service tenants, with a weighted average lease term of 16+ years. The center is strategically located on the corner of Tuscaloosa’s primary commercial intersection and is one of the most visited retail shopping centers in the state, with over 5.7 million annual visits. It is also located 1.5 miles from the University of Alabama’s main campus and within one mile of DCH Regional Medical Center, Tuscaloosa’s largest regional hospital, providing additional demand drivers.
“Midtown Village offers an attractive enhancement to our retail portfolio,” said Allan Swaringen, President and CEO of JLL Income Property Trust. “The enduring demand of this strong tenant roster supports stable operating performance, and the center is well positioned in a thriving submarket with proven traffic. With retail construction and vacancies declining nationally, we anticipate this continued supply-demand imbalance to drive returns for the sector as a whole.”
Retail real estate has been a mainstay in the JLL Income Property Trust portfolio since its inception in 2012. With the addition of this investment, grocery-anchored and necessity-driven retail investments comprise 13% of the total $7 billion portfolio, with approximately $900 million in assets across 22 open-air shopping centers.
Summary of Risk Factors
You should read the prospectus carefully for a description of the risks associated with an investment in JLL Income Property Trust (JLLIPT). Some of these risks include but are not limited to the following:
Since there is no public trading market for shares of our common stock, repurchases of shares by us after a one-year minimum holding period will likely be the only way to dispose of your shares. After a required one-year holding period, JLLIPT limits the amount of shares that may be repurchased under our repurchase plan to approximately 5% of our net asset value (NAV) per quarter and 20% of our NAV per annum. Because our assets will consist primarily of properties that generally cannot be readily liquidated, JLLIPT may not have sufficient liquid resources to satisfy repurchase requests. Further, our board of directors may modify or suspend our repurchase plan if it deems such action to be in the best interest of our stockholders. As a result, our shares have limited liquidity and, at times, may be illiquid.
The purchase and redemption price for shares of our common stock will be based on the NAV of each class of common stock and will not be based on any public trading market. Because valuation of properties is inherently subjective, our NAV may not accurately reflect the actual price at which our assets could be liquidated on any given day.
JLLIPT is dependent on our advisor to conduct our operations. JLLIPT will pay substantial fees to our advisor, which increases your risk of loss. JLLIPT has a history of operating losses and cannot assure you that JLLIPT will achieve profitability. Our advisor will face conflicts of interest as a result of, among other things, time constraints, allocation of investment opportunities, and the fact that the fees it will receive for services rendered to us will be based on our NAV, which it is responsible for calculating.
The amount of distributions JLLIPT makes is uncertain and there is no assurance that future distributions will be made. JLLIPT may pay distributions from sources other than cash flow from operations, including, without limitation, the sale of assets, borrowings, or offering proceeds. Our use of leverage increases the risk of your investment. If JLLIPT fails to maintain our status as a REIT, and no relief provisions apply, JLLIPT would be subject to serious adverse tax consequences that would cause a significant reduction in our cash available for distribution to our stockholders and potentially have a negative impact on our NAV.
While JLLIPT’s investment strategy is to invest in stabilized real estate properties diversified by sector with a focus on providing current income to investors, an investment in JLLIPT is not an investment in fixed income. Fixed income has material differences from an investment in a non-traded REIT, including those related to vehicle structure, investment objectives, and restrictions, risks, fluctuation of principal, safety, guarantees or insurance, fees and expenses, liquidity, and tax treatment.
Investing in real estate assets involves certain risks, including but not limited to: tenants’ inability to pay rent, increases in interest rates and lack of availability of financing, tenant turnover and vacancies, and changes in the supply of or demand for similar properties in a given market.
