RYE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 15, 2019-- Acadia Realty Trust (NYSE:AKR) (“Acadia” or the “Company”) today announced that, subsequent to the first quarter of 2019, the Company completed $83 million of fund acquisitions. Year to date, the Company has completed $131 million of fund acquisitions, with another $56 million currently under contract. These transactions are consistent with the funds’ opportunistic and value-add strategies.

“Our 2019 fund investment activity is off to strong start,” stated Kenneth F. Bernstein, President & CEO of Acadia Realty Trust. “Under the leadership of Reggie Livingston and Jessica Zaski, and with the efforts of the entire Acadia team, we have already completed several attractive acquisitions on behalf of our fund platform and anticipate that 2019 will continue to be an active year for fund transactions.”

FUND PLATFORM

Fund Acquisitions – High Yield

Palm Coast Landing, Palm Coast, FL. In May, Fund V completed the acquisition of Palm Coast Landing, a 171,000-square foot shopping center located in Palm Coast, FL, for $37 million. This property, anchored by Ross Dress for Less, TJ Maxx and Michael’s, is the dominant shopping center in its market.

The Family Center at Riverdale, Riverdale, UT. As previously reported, in March, Fund V, in partnership with CCA Acquisitions, completed the acquisition of The Family Center at Riverdale, located in Riverdale, UT (Salt Lake City MSA), for approximately $48 million. The Family Center at Riverdale is a 428,000-square foot, Target-anchored power center. It is the dominant center on Riverdale Road, the main shopping corridor in the growing Riverdale/Ogden market. Along with Target, the center’s major tenants include Best Buy, PetSmart and Sportsman’s Warehouse. Riverdale is also shadow anchored by Walmart, Sam’s Club and Home Depot.

These two investments are consistent with the Fund platform’s high-yield opportunistic strategy.

Fund Acquisitions – Value Add

Tri-City Plaza, Vernon, CT. In May, Fund V, in partnership with DLC Management Corp., purchased Tri-City Plaza, a 300,000-square foot center located in Vernon, CT, for $36 million. The joint venture intends to redevelop the TJ Maxx and HomeGoods-anchored center. The redevelopment plan includes bringing in a new best-in-class grocer, which will drive additional traffic to this high-quality asset. Fund V is a 90% partner in the joint venture.

110 University Pl, New York, NY. In May, Fund IV closed on a ground lease interest in the commercial portion of a newly-constructed, high-end condominium building, located at 110 University Pl in the Union Square submarket of Manhattan, for $10 million. The commercial unit includes at-grade retail and a parking garage. Located immediately south of Union Square Park, 110 University Pl is well-located on a high-foot-traffic, high-energy corridor. The Company is already in active discussions with several retailers to lease the available space. This acquisition was identified during Fund IV’s investment period, which concluded in 2016.

Fund Acquisitions – Under Contract

Lincoln Commons, Lincoln, RI. Fund V is currently under contract to purchase Lincoln Commons, a 450,000-square foot shopping center located in Lincoln, RI, for $56 million. The property is located 8 miles from downtown Providence and is anchored by Stop & Shop, Target (shadow), Marshalls and HomeGoods. As the dominant center in the region, this higher-yielding asset has a diverse mix of necessity, entertainment, food and soft goods retailers to complement the strong anchor tenancy.

No assurance can be given that the Company will successfully close on the remaining acquisitions under contract, which are subject to customary closing conditions.
