Kimco Realty Corp. (NYSE:KIM) announced today that it has purchased a
three-property, 189,000-square-foot grocery-anchored portfolio in the
New York City metropolitan statistical area (MSA) for $35.6 million. The
fully occupied portfolio is located in Clark, N.J., a densely populated
suburb of New York City in Union County, N.J. The portfolio includes two
long-term ground leases to national grocers: an 85,000-square-foot,
high-volume-producing ShopRite, and a newer 53,000-square-foot A&P Fresh
Market. Other national tenants include Rite Aid and Bally Total Fitness.
Clark, N.J., is an attractive locale because of its strong market
profile, including an established and dense residential community and
high retail occupancy levels. The properties are supported by
approximately 155,000 residents with a median household income of
$90,000 within three miles which exceeds Kimco’s U.S. portfolio
population and median income levels by 43 percent and 25 percent,
respectively. The shopping centers offer easy access from Exit 135 of
the Garden State Parkway and are well-located on a high volume
thoroughfare boasting a daily average traffic count of 200,000 vehicles.
This three-property acquisition lies within 20 miles of 17 additional
Kimco properties and further expands the company’s largest MSA (New
York-New Jersey-Long Island) to 73 retail centers encompassing
approximately 7.8 million square feet of gross leasable space.
