Insights

This strategic acquisition in San Mateo represents a compelling investment in one of America's most affluent markets. The 231,700 square foot Bridgepointe Shopping Center stands out for several key attributes that enhance its investment value:

  • The property's location in Silicon Valley's ecosystem positions it to benefit from the region's projected 1.6% CAGR in employment growth, driven by tech and life sciences sectors
  • The center's shadow anchors (Target and Home Depot) rank in the top percentiles nationwide for foot traffic, indicating exceptional property performance
  • Full occupancy and strong tenant mix featuring national retailers suggests robust income stability and potential for rent growth

The timing aligns with broader market dynamics, as open-air shopping centers are experiencing peak occupancy levels at 95.7%. The property's monopolistic position as the only large format community center in San Mateo, combined with the area's retail space relative to the U.S. average, creates significant barriers to entry and pricing power.

The demographic fundamentals supporting this acquisition are exceptionally strong. San Mateo County's position as the fourth-highest median household income region in the U.S. creates a robust consumer base with significant disposable income. The center's 8.58 million annual visits demonstrates its critical mass as a retail destination.

The tenant mix is strategically balanced between value-oriented retailers (Ross, Marshalls) and premium offerings (Nordstrom Rack), catering to diverse consumer segments while maintaining a focus on necessity-driven retail. This positioning provides resilience against e-commerce pressure and economic cycles. The presence of major tech employers like Alphabet, Apple, META and Nvidia in the immediate trade area ensures a steady flow of high-income consumers, while the growing life sciences sector adds another layer of economic diversification.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Cohen & Steers Income Opportunities REIT, Inc. ("CNSREIT") announced today its acquisition of Bridgepointe Shopping Center, an open-air community shopping center in San Mateo, California. The acquisition was made through a programmatic joint venture with Sterling Organization ("Sterling"), a real estate investment firm with extensive expertise in shopping centers in the U.S. This is CNSREIT's third acquisition with Sterling Organization and fourth open-air shopping center acquisition in the portfolio.

Bridgepointe Shopping Center is a 231,700 square foot, fully leased power center located in San Mateo, California. The tenancy at the property includes Total Wine & More, Nordstrom Rack, Ross Dress for Less, Marshalls and more. The center is also shadow anchored by a Target and a Home Depot, which rank in the top 1% and top 3% most visited stores of each chain nationwide, respectively1. Bridgepointe Shopping Center is the only large format community center in San Mateo and attracts 8.58 million visits annually2.

San Mateo County is an affluent suburban market located in Silicon Valley and approximately 20 miles outside of San Francisco. As a result, residents of San Mateo County enjoy the fourth highest median household income in the U.S and have access to high-profile life sciences and tech employers that are based in the Bay Area including Alphabet, Apple, Gilead Sciences, META, Nvidia, Salesforce and more. The area is also expected to continue benefiting from employment trends around life sciences and artificial intelligence, with San Mateo's employment growth projected to grow at a 1.6% compound annual growth rate over the next 12 years3.

James S. Corl, Chief Executive Officer of CNSREIT and Head of the Private Real Estate Group at Cohen & Steers, said: 
"Bridgepointe benefits from being situated in a dense, high income suburban area that is adjacent to the epicenter of global economic growth while still maintaining low levels of retail space compared to the U.S. average. As a result, Bridgepointe is a highly visited center where tenants generate impressive sales numbers that are among the top in their respective chains with the center maintaining historically high occupancy and rents. We look forward to partnering with Sterling on our third acquisition together and leveraging their expertise as a vertically integrated operator of retail real estate in driving value for investors."

CNSREIT is acquiring high quality properties that generate attractive income potential alongside best-in-class operators and has an initial focus on well-anchored, necessity-driven shopping centers. Open-air shopping centers are at their highest occupancy level of the past 16 years at 95.7%, according to real estate analytics provider CoStar Group.
