SILVER SPRING, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regency Centers Corporation (NYSE:REG), a national owner, operator and developer of grocery-anchored and community shopping centers, closed on the off-market acquisition of Shoppes of Burnt Mills, a 31,316-square-foot neighborhood center in Silver Spring, Md., for a gross purchase price of $13.6 million.
Built in 2004, Shoppes of Burnt Mills is anchored by a 9,306-square-foot Trader Joe’s, alongside top-performing D.C. locations for national retailers such as Starbucks, Chico’s and AT&T. The center benefits from strong visibility and accessibility with more than 62,000 vehicles traveling daily on Route 29, a major north-south thoroughfare linking D.C. Metro to Baltimore.
Shoppes of Burnt Mills is surrounded by a three-mile population of 166,782, nearly one million square feet of office, medical, flex and industrial space and a daytime population of 145,716. The average household income for the three-mile radius approaches $100,000.
“The infill location, strong demographics, synergistic merchandising with strong retailer sales and a vibrant anchor make Shoppes of Burnt Mills a great addition to our expanding portfolio in the D.C. market,” said Devin Corini, vice president of investments for Regency Centers.
Regency purchased the property with a co-investment partner. Regency’s share of the purchase price was $2.7 million.
Regency owns and operates 34 centers, totaling 4 million square feet, in the D.C. Metro/Maryland market. The properties are managed by a 25-member team with an office in Tysons Corner, Va.
