Insights

The $108 million acquisition of The Markets at Town Center represents a strategic expansion in Jacksonville's premium retail corridor. The deal structure through Kimco's Structured Investment Program demonstrates sophisticated capital deployment - they initially provided $15 million in mezzanine financing with built-in acquisition rights, effectively reducing risk while maintaining control over the asset.

The property's metrics are compelling: 97% occupancy rate, 254,000 square feet of prime retail space and strong demographics with $95,000 average household income in the trade area. The below-market lease rates present significant NOI growth potential through mark-to-market opportunities as leases expire.

The tenant mix is particularly noteworthy, combining necessity-based retail (Sprouts Farmers Market) with lifestyle retailers and dining options. The Costco shadow anchor drives substantial foot traffic, while the 4 million annual visits indicate robust consumer demand. This acquisition strengthens Kimco's Jacksonville portfolio, now comprising 6 properties with an impressive 98.6% occupancy rate.

The Jacksonville market selection is particularly astute given Florida's continued population growth and economic expansion. The property's location adjacent to St. Johns Town Center positions it in the market's dominant retail corridor, capitalizing on the area's affluent demographic profile.

The tenant composition reflects evolving retail trends, balancing experiential retail (Cooper's Hawk Winery) with essential services and value-oriented retailers (Five Below). The presence of both Sprouts and Costco creates a complementary grocery offering that serves different consumer segments, maximizing market penetration.

The high-performing location is validated by multiple tenants achieving top chain performance in Florida, according to Placer.ai data. This performance metric suggests strong unit economics and tenant stability, reducing potential turnover risk and supporting future rent growth.
