Phillips Edison Acquires Del Paso Marketplace in Sacramento

Bolsters Northern California presence with fifth greater Sacramento shopping center

CINCINNATI, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Phillips Edison & Company (“PECO” or the “Company”), an internally-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and one of the nation’s largest owners and operators of grocery-anchored shopping centers, announced today that it has acquired Del Paso Marketplace in Sacramento, California. The acquisition serves to bolster PECO’s presence in Northern California, representing the company’s fifth greater Sacramento shopping center.

Del Paso Marketplace is anchored by a 29,296-square-foot Sprouts Farmers Market and features a dynamic mix of local and national tenants including T-Mobile, Chipotle, Club Pilates, Cookie Cutters, Ono Hawaiian BBQ, State Farm and Jersey Mike’s subs. The 59,796-square-foot shopping center is located at the intersection of Del Paso Road and East Commerce Way in the densely populated neighborhood of North Natomas. Natomas has excellent demographics including nearly $90,000 average household income within a three-mile radius and strong daytime employment and residential growth.

“Sacramento is an attractive market that has seen tremendous job and population growth, creating a compelling opportunity for us to continue to strengthen our portfolio metrics and deliver strong returns to our shareholders,” said David Wik, Senior Vice President of Acquisitions at PECO. “This acquisition caps off a successful execution of our acquisitions strategy in 2019. In addition to Sacramento, we were able to increase our exposure to high population and business growth areas such as Naperville, Illinois and the suburbs of Washington, D.C.”

PECO has a robust acquisitions pipeline managed by a national, in-house acquisitions team from which it continues to source opportunities to acquire high quality grocery-anchored shopping centers diversified by grocer, geography and tenancy.
