An Example Of What We Do
In 2018, we acquired a defaulted mortgage for an underperforming 47,000 square-foot retail center in the Grand Rapids area. In particular, the center is located directly across from Woodland Mall – the area’s super regional Mall. The center was 24% occupied with several undesirable small shop tenants and a Guitar Center store whose lease was maturing imminently.
In 2020, we secured a long-term lease with Whole Foods Market – but only to the extent several conditions were met. First, because our center is part of a larger shopping center comprised of three additional contiguous, big box users with separate owners, Whole Foods required us to get all adjacent property owners to agree to a consistent new façade for the entire center. Second, we had to terminate, buyout and relocate remaining small shop tenants so the center could be expanded to accommodate the new 45,400 square-foot Whole Foods store. Third, we had to acquire easement rights for small out parcel buildings blocking the view of the new grocer. This entailed knocking down such buildings to improve the view. Finally, we negotiated a new long-term lease with Guitar Center following their emergence from bankruptcy.
In the end, this center is completely renovated with long-term leases with two great, national tenants. In 2022, we sold Guitar Center at a record-breaking cap rate! We remain the owners of the Whole Foods store.
